Spring Cleaning for Your Job Search

By Dia Kline

🌸 Spring Clean Your Job Search

It's spring. The birds are chirping, the flowers are blooming, and your job search? It's ready for a refresh.

If what you've been doing isn't working, spring is the perfect time to try something new. That means doing more than just submitting your resume and crossing your fingers that HR notices you.

Sure, lots of candidates are applying to the same jobs. But most of them are doing the exact same thing. Which means you have a real opportunity to stand out.

Try this instead:

• Track down the hiring managers and reach out directly
• Use LinkedIn to connect with actual employees at your target companies
• Research beyond the polished career pages, check out Glassdoor, Google reviews, and even Yelp reviews

Pro Tip: Track everything you do with dates and milestones. Keep going until you've signed an offer. Not verbally accepted. Not shaken hands. Signed.

Spring renewal isn't just about Marie Kondo-ing your closet. It's about refreshing your approach and trying strategies that actually work instead of repeating what hasn't been getting you results.

Think of it as a fresh start. New season, new tactics, new possibilities.
