Description

Are you hesitating to apply for a job because you don't meet all the qualifications? 

This episode focuses on a strategic approach to finding a job in a competitive market and why you might need to only meet 50% of the qualifications.   

We will discuss:  

  • Transferable skills and how they... transfer 
  • How to prioritize networking over “blanket” applications 
  • Ways to tailor your resume to each job application, and get past the screeners 
      

Ultimately, job descriptions often include a list of ideal qualifications, not all of which are essential. By focusing on your core strengths and taking a strategic approach to your job search, you can significantly increase your chances of landing a great position.
