Although cover letters have lost some of their importance over the last twenty years, they are usually still expected and an excellent means of bridging the gap between your CV/résumé and the specific positions you are applying for. I explain how to do this in this episode.

To identify a maximum of suitable openings efficiently, you'll need to pick the right channels for it. This task relates to the type of position you're looking for, and the optimal choice is always specific to your search profile and further circumstances. I explain how to do this in this episode.

Your CV / résumé functions as the anchor of your individual job applications. The quality of this document is usually the most important factor in the decision to invite you for a job interview or not.

As I've explained in several of my earlier episodes, the mere mentioning of previous tasks and responsibilities in your CV/résumé is NOT sufficient to convince the hiring managers of your competencies. Unfortunately, most applicants make this mistake.

Many job seekers aren't even aware of how important this aspect is and never define a proper focus for their job search. Others fail to define it sufficiently.

Becoming good at it requires practice, but most managers only need to hire new members for their teams once in a while and therefore never develop the necessary skills properly. A shortcoming that makes your life as an applicant even harder.
In this podcast episode, I explain why you should always distrust the published job descriptions you come across as they are often a result of poor hiring skills and can therefore be very misleading.

However, you may face a challenge in such a situation.
When applying for a job, you would normally use the experience gained in your previous positions within your industry as the main argument to convince the hiring managers that you are the perfect match.
However, when applying for a job in a different field, that experience presented in the same way is likely to have no convincing power anymore. So, a different approach is needed in this case.
