Even during the Great Resignation, career-driven professionals are finding themselves stuck in roles they aren't loving or in a job search that feels like it will never end. Many feel "ghosted" by recruiters, that they don't have enough of the right experience, or are frequently dubbed the runner-up when compared to other qualified candidates.

Whether you’re struggling to advance into a more progressive leadership role, make a pivot into another industry, or transition onto a new career altogether, there are common mistakes being made and quick fixes that can trigger callbacks for interviews in a matter of days.

Certified Resume Writer and Job Search Strategist Steph Cartwright will be joining us to uncover the top mistakes job seekers are making with their resumes, cover letters, and LinkedIn based on recent feedback shared by recruiters and hiring decision-makers.

In this chat, you’ll learn:

  • What recruiters are saying makes it difficult to tell if you're the best fit for the job while screening your resume
  • Which cover letters that you're writing are time-wasters and how to make sure they are read by and make an impact on the right person
  • Why you're not attracting the profile views, messages, and career-boosting opportunities you should on LinkedIn
