What a great episode we had with Mark. We covered so many topics, a few of them are:
· Several of the 6 interview mindsets from his new book, The Interview Mindset: The Ultimate Guide to Mastering Your Career, to help you present yourself well in interviews and get the most information about the role and company.
· Your network is your net worth and gave several ideas on how to expand it.
· 96% of search firms use LinkedIn to help find candidates – how you can use the 5-3-1 method to increase your LinkedIn presences.
· The hidden job market is right there in your cell phone and how you can use it.
· Get off job boards and connect with people – that is how you can find that next great job.
· To be most effective in your job search – you need to have a strategy, create a plan and then work it – you are not selling yourself, you are telling about you and the values you bring.
Mark was so thoughtful, sharing and experienced in his comments/tips. I know you will have a much better job search plan after you listen to him. Enjoy and make sure you share this with a friend.
