Applying for a new job can be a struggle for many as more companies report layoffs and employers put up "ghost job postings" online.
LinkedIn career expert Andrew McCaskill joins Wealth! to break down the top tips to help job seekers who are fighting burnout in their search.
"You got to take a little bit of control, start to take breaks. A lot of the things that we talk to people about during the pandemic are things that you should be doing now if you’re feeling that burnout," McCaskill stresses. "And then take control of your day. Set an agenda, be intentional about your meetings. Really be prepared for those meetings so you feel like that you’re happening to your day and your day isn’t happening to you."
McCaskill emphasizes the highly competitive nature of the job market right now and that applicants need to showcase their skills to hiring managers, "especially in a role that may be in a different industry and really be explicit about how your skills will match up.
"And you may have skills that will transfer from one industry to the other, but you’ve got to make the case for that. You’ve got to be prepared to tell your story," McCaskill explains.
