06: #5 Skill: Test & Re-Design your job searching strategy (or you risk morphing into a robot)
"500 applications - and still no job found in Germany" - This or similar stories of testimonies from international professionals circulate on the Internet.
If you don’t want to risk morphing into such an application robot, this episode is for you.
Many professionals have left Germany without having found a job because an underlying misconception, which I explain in this episode.
So, we talk about the agile approach of testing and re-designing your job seeking strategy.
This is a proven method, it has helped many German and International applicants before and it will also help you switch out the overwhelm for a more lighthearted approach.
We’ll cover these aspects:
- What a classical job searching strategy is and why most of us believe that this is the ultimate way to land a job.
- The four steps of the classic job searching strategy
- Why this approach does not work anymore in our dynamic world of today
- Why Linkedin is Hell (and Heaven)
- What's up with this belief set of “The more applications I send, the sooner I get a job”
- and some beliefs that foster this misconception like “If I just work hard enough, I’ll manage to get a job”. Many professionals have left Germany without having found a job because the underlying misconception of how the job markets and the job search strategies work are so fundamental.
- The strategic components you need to add to your job seeking strategy
- My proven method of testing and re-designing (the agile approach)
- the key success factors of your testing
