Job searching in a tough market with Emily Liou

Clarity on Fire

If you’re looking for a job right now, there’s no way it’s escaped your notice that it’s rough out there.

We keep hearing stories from friends and clients about how the current job market is unlike anything they’ve ever seen before.

From applying to hundreds of jobs and getting ZERO interviews, to being completely overlooked despite being incredibly qualified, to seeing literally thousands of people apply to a job you’re interested in … it’s feeling REALLY difficult and demoralizing right now.

Which is why we knew we had to bring our friend and job search coach Emily back on the podcast (for the fourth time!) to get her take on job searching in 2024.

So, listen in as Emily and the two of us dive into …

• Why so many SUPER qualified candidates are being overlooked
• The discrepancy between what the media is reporting – There’s a labor shortage! It’s so hard to find good employees! – versus how hard it is for most job seekers to actually get hired
• How AI and ChatGPT are affecting your chances of being noticed during your job search
• When to bother applying for jobs on job boards, and when to let them go
• How to access the “hidden job market” and guarantee more visibility, even for super competitive jobs
