If you aren’t using LinkedIn to find your next job, you are missing out on a &nbsp;powerful tool. But you have to use it well. Find Your Dream Job guest Nick Poloni says it all starts with a story-driven profile. It’s not enough to have a list of previous positions; you have to provide content and context. Recruiters want to know who you are, what you’ve accomplished, and what you’re looking for. Nick suggests having a specific focus for your profile, using keywords and titles that are common to the field you are in or want to enter.&nbsp; About Our Guest: Nick Poloni (http://linkedin.com/in/nickpoloni) is the head of recruitment at Cascadia Search Group and works in the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.

An AI bot might seem like the answer to the hours you spend submitting resumes and filling out application materials, but it could be harming your job search. These bots submit information about you without your oversight. Not only that, says Find Your Dream Job guest Jessica Miller-Merrell, but the facts they share are the same for each position. Jessica recommends taking the time to tailor each resume and application for the job you want. Narrow down your unique skillset, focus on the jobs that fit your skills, and spend your time researching your ideal companies and positions instead of submitting thousands of resumes per week.

Finding a job can be an isolating experience, but it doesn’t have to be. There is a wide variety of support available for job seekers, but according to Find Your Dream Job guest Casey Hasten, you want to focus on 3 key areas of support: networking, coaches, and mentors. A coach will help you make decisions that are best for you. A mentor will walk you through experiences they have personally walked through.

But beyond that, Find Your Dream Job guest Alicia Perkins says your skills can translate to new opportunities for you when leveraged correctly. Alicia suggests focusing more on the outcomes of your skills than the specific skills themselves. Share with hiring managers how you used your skills to achieve measurable outcomes in your previous roles, and how you can use them to meet the needs they are currently hiring for.
