There is no ‘realer’ struggle than scrolling through hundreds of posted jobs frustratingly trying to find yet another job opening to direct your worn out resume to after a series of ‘we regret to inform you’ crushing letters.

Be bold enough to be a step ahead of hundreds of other applicants by tapping into your charm and requesting brief meetings with hiring managers so that you can establish your desirability as a prospective employee.
Utilize your social media profiles to showcase the professional and cultured image that you desire to present to recruiters.
Build and maintain relationships with practitioners within your chosen field/ discipline, so that you’ll be afforded the, highly sought after, ‘pull of that figurative string’ when a job opening becomes available.
