"Hi there 👋 I'd like to apply for the job you've outlisted for several months now, yes you 🫵" How applying for jobs in 2024 be like now How many of you can relate, this Saturday? Just how many jobs must one apply to before they reach their goal? I'm not asking this question oblivious to the other important factors that affect the answer to my last question. I'm well informed here. Someone's journey turned into an unpredicted five month journey. While some had to apply to 500 jobs to land 10 interviews! In all, I know( and hope you do too) that though the obstacles lay painfully in front of many job seekers, it's not a reason to give up. For now, there might be a need for creative ways to achieve this goal aside from the conventional way, that is way tougher. Yes, every rejection means a step closer to that final yes! So, it doesn't mean giving up. By the way, how many of us have sent the wrong resume before 😅 We grow in the journey, right? Let me know your thoughts. What unconventional strategies have worked for you or someone you know? Happy Weekend. Stay blessed #jobseekers #jobs #rejection #dataanalyst #tech https://lnkd.in/dBenKHVG

I've been entirely silent on this until now, but I agree with Mickey here - I've been out of the entertainment industry for 10 months now. I thought having some of the big companies I've worked for on my resume would make finding the next gig relatively easy, but nah. I've come close to a few jobs these past 10 months but hardly a single entertainment industry employer has so much as responded to my resume, even though they seem to be posting jobs like they were candy. During this time, I started working weekends at an LA winery. Wine has been a huge nerdy side-passion of mine for about a decade now. Working there is essentially hospitality/customer service, but I absolutely love it, and have moved up to teaching night classes there as well (yup, wine classes!) I love making someone's day/evening/night. I think we forget that ALL jobs are essentially about making SOMEONE'S day easier/better/brighter. That's why the job exists. I honestly plan to continue working the wine weekend gig whenever I find a new weekday gig, if at all possible. I've even started a wine-and-entertainment podcast during this downtime, and I'm having an absolute ball. Am I bleeding money a fair bit? Oh yeah. But would I play anything differently, given what's under my control? Nope. Enjoy what you do, even when it's not what you thought you'd be doing. Even when the stress of finding better financial standing is every damn day. A lot of things are out of our control, but our pride in ourselves and whatever work we're doing is not.

What Should We Ultimately Expect from Education? 🎓 Is education solely a pathway to securing a job? If so, it's worth considering that a job might confine us within a narrow framework, potentially leading us to sacrifice our other passions and joys. Once sacrificed, these parts of our lives may be difficult to reclaim. This thought-provoking short film offers insight into this dilemma. Let’s strive not to confine our lives to one single framework. I invite all to watch this short film and give your ideas also. The link is in the first comment. #fulltime #shortfilm

Each of these companies' revenue streams rests on the eyeballs and the unpaid time, effort, and energy of job seekers. The entire show doesn’t go on without anyone in the theater. No one makes any money, and employers get no new hires. Job applicants are who the whole show is for. But robbing someone of their professional voice while seating them at the theater and then being surprised at how many more movie theaters have 'popped up,' suggests one of a few possible things happening. Only ONE of those reasons is a 'talent shortage,' But you will never hear any other reason if you genuinely believe that silencing an entire stakeholder during the job search process is the only possible way to professionally engage with hiring. #jobs #jobsearch #realtalkjobhunting #transparency #anonymity #crowdsourced

Coming from an acting background, I've found myself pretty amused by how similar job hunting in the Marketing world is to auditioning in the acting world- it's the same formula! As an actor I was applying for hundreds of roles and I was lucky if I got five auditions out of that, and then out of THAT I was lucky to get one actual contract! There's a lot of competition and the search can feel ruthless. What I've taken from my past experiences are: ✅ When writing to employers, don't just compliment them and detail your experience, make sure to let them know what you've gotten up to in between jobs to develop your skills. ✅ Don't downplay your skill set- Skills can come from the smallest of jobs or experiences, don't be afraid to talk yourself up! ✅ Stop comparing yourself to everyone else- It can be helpful to learn from others, but if you spend your life comparing yourself to every candidate out there then you'll never get anything done. I'm grateful that being an actor has toughened me up and allowed me to see rejection as redirection instead of anything personal. There's always something to learn from every job application and it's just a case of pushing through.

Kudos to Indeed for their latest commercial – a bold and hilarious takedown of unnecessary degree requirements for jobs. If you haven’t seen it yet, take a moment to watch here. It’s a celebration of common sense that’s long overdue. Let’s get real: while some specialist roles absolutely require a degree (surgeons, I’m looking at you), most do not. Yet time and again, we see businesses gatekeeping talent behind irrelevant qualifications that have nothing to do with capability or experience. Seriously, why does a server need a bachelor’s degree to carry plates? It’s 2025, people. If your hiring practices are still stuck in the 90s, you’re not just outdated—you’re losing out on incredible talent. Education should not supersede experience or capability, especially when the degree has zero relevance to the role. It’s time for businesses to ditch the antiquated, divisive hiring practices and embrace skills-based hiring. Hire for what someone can do, not for what a piece of paper says they learned years ago. So thank you, Indeed, for using your platform to spotlight the absurdity of this mindset. Hopefully, this sparks the change we all need to see. Let’s stop asking for diplomas when what we really need is results. #SkillsBasedHiring #CommonSenseRecruiting #HiringForImpact
