Welcome everyone to 'Career Hacks Unplugged!' I’m Sam, and here with me is my partner in crime, Alex!
Alex
Thanks, Sam! Today, we're diving into how to stand out in this wild job market where you're competing against folks from around the globe!
Sam
The job market is so competitive now. It’s like trying to win a race when the finish line is in another country!
Alex
Absolutely! Plus, with AI scanning resumes, your application could disappear faster than my leftovers at a potluck!
Sam
Speaking of resumes, let’s talk optimization! Use the right keywords, or your resume is just a fancy piece of wallpaper!
Alex
And don’t even think about using fancy fonts. ATS will reject it quicker than I reject a gym membership!
Sam
Now onto personal branding! Create a LinkedIn profile that shouts, 'Hire me!' louder than a toddler at a toy store!
Alex
Exactly! And don’t forget to engage! It's like dating; if you ghost your connections, they’re not coming back!
Sam
Networking isn’t dead! It's more alive than my grandma at bingo night. You have to connect, attend events, and not just scroll on your phone!
Alex
Right! What’s your go-to networking move, Sam? Mine is to pretend I know what I’m talking about until someone asks me a question!
Sam
And let’s not forget interviews! You’ve got to prepare like it’s an Olympic sport—because trust me, it feels like one!
Alex
So true! Just don’t wear a suit that looks like it was borrowed from a scarecrow. It’s all about first impressions!
Sam
Any job seekers in the audience? Raise your hand if you’ve ever sent a resume into the void! I see you all! The void is so popular!
Alex
To wrap it up—optimize your resume, build your personal brand, and get networking. You’ll be that star candidate in no time!
