@mckenzie.mack: Logan got a job!!! After being unemployed for 12 whole days 😮💨 here are all of his job search tips and tricks!!! Context: he is a mechanical engineer who has known since about May that he would likely lose his current contract. He has been applying casually since then but didn’t get serious until about a couple weeks ago. This job is a ~$50k compensation increase from his last position and ALSO REMOTE (plus monthly travel)!! 🚫 What didn’t work - AI job applications (cost $80 for 700 applications and only 1 call back and 0 interviews. It also kept applying to software engineering positions so it couldn’t distinguish between types of engineering.) - LinkedIn Premium (I personally like it but logan didn’t find it useful) 👍🏼 What helped get interviews - Tailored Resumes: make a new resume for every specialty you’re applying for (he made a new one for process engineering, design, HVAC, project engineering, etc) - Agencies: he connected with the top 10 agencies in engineering to build out a profile. This was his top source of interviews. 👍🏼 What helped during the interviews - Authenticity: be honest about things that went wrong and the help you received from coworkers along the way - Personal connection: finding common ground with the interviewer. He wasn’t afraid to discuss non-work related interests if it felt appropriate. Key word is appropriate!!
I’m confused, if he was unemployed for 12 days how did he apply to so many jobs over 2 months? His job search was longer than his unemployment it seems?

Part of the reason why it was only 12 days is because he’s an engineer. It’s a field that’s more recession proof

Crazy some jobs don’t even review your app until a week or two after submitting. Also some have deadlines for applicants then review. Congrats to him!

I got lucky enough to get 3 in 9 days. I didn’t use any AI. I searched businesses locally and I called every one I submitted an application to

It might have to do with timing also. Many hiring managers are now free from the budgeting process and can focus on hiring. Also, they want to get the hiring done before the holiday months kick in.

How did he write the resumes so quickly? I feel like I spend HOURS tweaking the wording and making it sound right

LinkedIn premium got me a job because you are literally able to notify an employer if they are one of your top choices when I got an interview that was cited as a main reason why they picked me out of lots of other resumes it’s a scam for price but

I think his career field is easy to find openings and get into them vs other careers fields.

I agree on being personal! I have a pretty serious job and talked about cats/Taylor Swift/Chappell Roan in 2/3 interviews
