Hate your job search?
Hate Your Job Search? Now think about how you feel at this Exact Moment…
THEN GO FIX IT!!!
Job hunting sucks. You know it, I know it, that girl whose open to work banner has been on for way too long… she knows it.
Layoffs that couldn’t feel more impersonal and like being booted out the door.
Cryptic job descriptions that might as well be written in code. Hiring processes so slow you wonder if the company’s still in business. Onboarding that feels like an afterthought, leaving you to figure it all out on Day 1.
Sound familiar? Good. Remember exactly how you feel right now…because when you land the job, it’s YOUR TURN, IT’S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to make sure no one else in a job search you are involved in ever has to feel this way.
When I coach people on landing their next role, I teach them to work with the system, even when that system is outdated and frustrating. Polished, well structured ATS friendly resumes. Practiced, Perfected, Personable answers. The dreamy LinkedIn profile that makes you look like you’ve been waiting your whole life for this job/career pivot.
Because the system is what it is. But once you’re in? That’s when you start fixing it.
You have the power to:
Write job descriptions that actually describe the job. Build hiring processes that don’t make candidates want to scream. Create intentional onboarding experiences that set people up for success.
The system isn’t going to fix itself. But if you’ve survived it, you’re the perfect person to start making it better, from inside!
Side note: “The call is coming from inside the house!” This is what I think of when I say “do it from inside the company”, every time. Childhood movie trauma runs deep y’all, bonus points if you know that OG movie!
