Some are calling it “The Great Resignation”. Employees are more willing than ever to leave a job that doesn’t meet their needs. The market is flooded with qualified candidates. Now is the time to apply if you’re looking for your next step. If you wait, you run the risk of missing out. This article explains why you need to get started today.

Stale Resumes

Hiring managers have a keen eye for great resumes. Employers are experts at sorting through hundreds of resumes to pick one winner. Many organizations are using software to auto-sort resumes based on keywords. So if you’re not personalizing your resume based on every job posting, you’ll get overlooked. Carefully check out a job posting, using the exact same words to match your experience to the job requirements. You can also re-vamp your resume with an overall refresh. Try reorganizing your strengths and making sure your strongest experience pops off the page.

Quickly Prioritize

It’s a balancing act. As a candidate, you need to take time to evaluate the important things in life and compare that to your dream career trajectory. However, you also want to act fast. Good jobs get snatched up quickly, so it’s essential to check frequently on job boards to find the right position. Think about what you want your next step to look like, and the important factors you want to prioritize as you select a role:

  • Wages
  • Flexibility
  • Setting your own schedule
  • Company Culture
  • Benefits & resources
