Yes, you should be using LinkedIn!
I started regularly using LinkedIn five years ago, and each one of my last three jobs (and my current favorite) were connected to LinkedIn in some way. If you do not have a LinkedIn profile, or if it isn’t updated and polished, you are missing out on key strategic measures that could help you.
Negotiating can be awkward to navigate, especially for those who have never had to stretch that muscle before, but with some preparation and practice, a smooth and successful negotiation process is possible.
Can you imagine starting to look for a house or school districts before you even know your family’s next duty location? Apply this logic to your job search, too.
How can you start applying for jobs before knowing your brand and value in the job market? Whenever possible, clicking “apply” should be one of the last steps in your job search following self-assessments, targeting specific companies, researching, and networking.
There are niche interviews all across the job market. However, there are standard interview questions we all prepare for as we get ready to sit across from our (hopefully) new boss and sell our skills, trying to strike the perfect balance between humble and confident.
I used to dream of remote work. Not only to mitigate the earning gaps around each PCS, but as someone who is a homebody, I knew I could do some of my best work in a good pair of yoga pants and slippers without leaving my house.
I am so grateful that, as our next move approaches, I can take my laptop and my job with Hire Heroes USA with me. I know what a huge game-changer remote work can be for you, too. I’m here to walk you through some tactical tips, so you can enjoy writing emails and taking conference calls without ever having to put on shoes.
We can all agree that we’re excited to put 2020 behind us and look ahead to a fresh start in 2021. It’s also an opportune time to take a new approach to your job search. Today, I want to explore five key topics that will get your professional brand on track in the new year.
