- Hiring managers are not just looking at qualifications but also evaluating whether they want to work with you. Demonstrating your soft skills is crucial—let your resume speak to your abilities and experience.
- During interviews, show curiosity. Ask questions about the role, the manager, and the company to understand better whether it's the right fit.
- Always be honest and accurate in all aspects—whether you're networking, crafting your resume or cover letter, or interviewing.
- When targeting a specific role or company, identify the five key things they’re looking for and assess how you can meet those needs.
- Victoria’s own job search includes networking, connecting with new people, applying for roles, and sharing content on LinkedIn to demonstrate thought leadership.
- She even set a specific date for landing her next job—and achieved it.
