Forget about Applying for Jobs on LinkedIn or Indeed and Do This Instead

[TagPlugs]

In short, just apply on their website directly.

I was gonna give up on Indeed, but I decided to give it one more try. I submitted my resume for an educator position on Indeed last Monday, got a call back on Tuesday, I interviewed on Thursday, and got hired on the spot.

Finding a job should not be this hard. I never want to hear about a labor shortage from employers.

The problem with applying through the company's career page is having to fill in ALL the info, so doing this for each and every job we apply for is really time-consuming and above all, really annoying. 🙄

This tip is gold. Why go through a middle man, when you can go right to the source.

Whenever possible, always look for a direct contact with the employer. Do not give your personal details to third parties, like scammy job agencies, etc. Such agencies sometimes even post completely fake job ads, just so they can gather the personal details of people, who are seeking for a job.

Some wise man to fullfill our direct ways. Thank you. I have got a job 3 days after this video... No more wasting time in those social medias. Only updating stats

You're saying everything I knew deep inside, but needed someone to validate out loud. Good job

This is what I'm actually doing when applying for jobs.

This is a better option, but it doesn't usually work either. You just go into a database and never hear anything back. At least, that has been my experience. Calling is good, but only if it's a small company. The best way to get a job is having a connection, and that doesn't even always work.

Create an expanded version of your Resume just for yourself. Under each position that you have held, list bullets detailing the activities you performed and the goals you achieved. When you look an an ad for a position, note the skills/abilities that are listed first, and extract from your expanded Resume the 1 or 2 items that match the requirements of the position you are applying for. In your cover letter make sure you point out the most significant areas of your expertise that directly match the requirements of the position being applied for. Good luck in your search.

Very useful. I have submitted applications only to hear that the job was filled or no longer open. In addition, if there are any edits to the job posting, it resets the job posting. Let's say there is a Business Analyst job posted. 200 applications come in. The next week, the employer changes the title to Business Analyst II, all 200 applications are tossed out.

I also am seeing among my experienced friends, they are not considered at all for jobs because they have too much experience. I have 20+ yrs of experience and time and again I am hearing "this is a junior role" even thought the listing says mid-level. But don't call it ageism! I liked the old days of pounding the pavement, walking around the city, handing out resumes. At least then you could look someone in the eye and get a feel for your chances. This is just a black, faceless box.

Makes sense. I've seen postings in LinkedIn which "no longer exists" many times

[chadwickerman]

Few are actually hiring. They are dangling the hopes of getting a good job to collect resumes and harvest personal information from their applicants.

[dubreil]

This is exactly what I do. I get more interviews like this. I’d like to also add the only con is that some companies despite having a career page some companies directly hire from their recruiters who most likely use LinkedIn to get workers

[virajvrooms]

That is superb info Bart. I have experienced this multiple times. This is a whole lot of steps to follow, filling lengthy forms and answering the questions, but then that is a necessary filter that companies apply to verify how serious a candidate is about joining them rather than blindly hitting the Easy Apply button.

This video helped confirm what I doing without knowing I was doing it right, now I will deliberately focus on this way. Thanks coach.

It’s much worse than you realize. The government tracks all this activity via HR reports. Depending on the size of the company, they are likely posting jobs due to government oversight which means they already have a candidate picked out. Which mean they don’t need you. Just need to show hiring activity and effort to the government. Want the job, better know someone and network in.

This is what I call a very useful information. My friend, you probably is saving a lot of time in our lives.
Thank you very much for your content.

This is exactly how I got my first job without needing to have multiple years of experience experience to be excepted. This is truly like a mini shortcut, instead of applying to jobs for a year, it instead takes 3 months or less depending on the job market peak times.
