Simplify your job search! Don't waste your time or the employer's time by applying for roles that don't fit your location. Remember, if the job posting specifies a location, it's NOT a remote role. Help yourself and employers by following instructions and simplifying the process. #jobsearch #careertips Also! Employers! If the role requires you to live in say Kansas… that is NOT a remote role.

Happy Saturday all, here is something worthy I need to highlight : I wish recruiters would verify a candidate's current employment situation before reaching out. In my experience, numerous recruiters have contacted me for positions at the very company I currently work for, sometimes even for my own team. It's essential to conduct thorough research beforehand, and you can easily get the information by clicking on the LinkedIn profile. Hope I get this message across. #workforcemanagement #realtimeanalyst #remote #hiringalert

“This job description describes me perfectly and it was just posted.” 200+ applicants. “That's a lot. I’ll reach out to one of their recruiters to stand out." Don't be this person. It's not the best use of your time. Here's why... Although it might seem logical that recruiters are the gatekeepers and the ones going through applicants, they are NOT the best people to reach out to. People in Talent Acquisition and Recruiting are overwhelmed today. Their teams have been slashed, their friends are looking for work, and they are hoping to stay employed through the holidays themselves. They are likely stretched thin as well. I see it first hand as my team at nextOPP Search directly supports these recruiters. Open positions are collecting applications like never before - people out of work are applying *and* people employed are applying, yearning for something better. Does the company hire remote? Forget it. Everyone and their mom is applying to those openings. So what should you do instead? 1️⃣ Find another person at the company.  Ideally on the same team as the opening. And not too senior (they may not check LinkedIn or are too busy to respond to new connections). Keep in mind managers may be very busy with year-end reviews right now. 2️⃣ Send a 2-sentence connection request with a simple message: "I saw you recently joined X - congrats on the new role! Seems we are both in marketing - would love to connect and keep in touch." Some alternate first sentences: 8 years at X - that’s impressive!  You went to UCLA - me too!  Congrats on the recent promotion to X! You have an impressive background - 11 years at X! I admire your untraditional career history, I have one too. I admire your commitment to (personal passion or company mission). I see you comment a lot on posts about X, a passion of mine as well. Point being - don’t ask for anything in the connection message. 3️⃣ Once they accept, see if you can drum up a conversation. Why did they switch to the company? How do they like the career move from Sales to Customer Success? How are they liking Austin after so many years in NYC? Making a connection takes time. Keep the questions simple to answer. 4️⃣ After some back and forth, you can drop that you are figuring out your next move and noticed an opening at their company. How do they like the team? Good culture? Maybe they are even open to a 5-10 min chat about the team or role so you can better know if it would be a fit for you. ➡️ Finally, you make the big ask. Could they refer your application to the opening? That's the ultimate goal. It’s a guaranteed way to stand out from hundreds of applicants. I know it sounds like a lot of work, but applying to job after job and getting automated rejection emails, or worse, silence, is immensely discouraging. At least this way, you are talking directly with another human being who will hopefully be happy to refer you after getting to know you a bit.

Question for everyone out there hiring or recruiting: why do job postings list opportunities as 'Remote' on the widespread post, but then include a little caveat in the application that it actually requires time in-office? My theories: 1. There's confusion in the posting software/user error so they don't list 'hybrid' 2. They are trying to get the applicant far enough into the process where they may be willing to relocate (sort of a sunk-cost fallacy idea). 3. They have an applicate quota so they just list 'remote' so they get more applicants. None of these really make sense because it feels like the hiring team will just be inundated with applications that won't go anywhere.
