Why is Finding a New Job Difficult?
The job hunt isn’t easy, especially if you’ve been working in a niche role or industry. In our experience helping candidates look for jobs, we’ve noticed three challenges everyone encounters in their search:
- Getting your application noticed. If 200 other applicants have also applied for the same position, then getting noticed takes some work!
- Getting hired with a limited network. Hiring often boils down to who you know. Without connections in the industry, your chances of beating out someone the hiring manager already has a relationship with are slim.
- Negotiating the offer. When it comes to negotiating, most candidates don’t have a sense of what their market rate is and how to go about maximizing their earning potential.
