It's August. If you're job hunting, the calendar matters more than you think. Do the math with me 👇

Every job seeker asks me some version of the same three questions. The most common/popular of them all is shorthand for something rather different …and asking it the way most people do won't get you a useful answer. Here's how you get useful information when asking about the job market 👇

I read 3,000+ CVs a year. Yeah... with my own eyes🤗 I've read 3-page-long CVs, 18-page-long life stories... and everything in between.🧐 There is one type of resume that is the wrong one to use to support your job application 🤔 You think the fix is a simple page count reduction. It's not. 🤔

This week, allow me to open up and share the details of “my first time" In brief (!), I found it strange, uncomfortable and ultimately unsatisfactory. I think the person doing it with me won’t be too happy either, once they hear my feedback Maybe it will get better with more practice / when the tech evolves? #ai #interview #candidates #jobsearch #recruiting #hiring

A number of times, clients have given me the most straightforward job brief I can think of: "Just get me one more like the last person you found for us." There is nothing quick or easy about that request. Here's what it actually means.

A job search can stall for lots of reasons. But there are moments where #momentum either builds or dies. This one's for job hunters who want to stay in control. And for anyone who partners with and supports them #jobsearch #hiring #recruitment

Hopefully, my video last week was super clear about the need to establish a “new normal” for job hunting. More often than not, it will be too late when you get to see a job posting. So please do more, better, and sooner. Here is how I suggest you go about it, in actual practice. #jobsearch #claude #cowork #ai #tech #recruitment #careers #signals

⏰ Every job ad you've ever applied to was already late. The decision to hire was made weeks, perhaps months, before the post went live. 👏🏼 Marketers have been using buying/selling signals for a long while now. There's no reason job seekers can't build a similar system to get to that job first. #jobads #jobsearch #hiringsignals #careers Extend Consulting

🤷🏻‍♀️ Sending out applications and hearing nothing back? You might be playing "blindfold darts" 🎯 The algorithm doesn't know you. Job ads are often written to a role ideal. And yet most job seekers keep firing off applications hoping something sticks. There's a smarter way. Watch This 👇
