If your job search has started to feel like a full-time job of its own, tweaking your resume, scrolling LinkedIn, applying for roles, and wondering if anyone is actually reading your application, you are definitely not alone. Between ATS filters, crowded applicant pools, and recruiters searching LinkedIn for candidates, the process looks very different than it used to. I break down how to approach the modern job search, from making sure your resume can actually be read by ATS software to using LinkedIn to show recruiters who you are beyond a list of job titles. I also share why I believe networking should start *before* you need a job and how to use AI as a second set of eyes to help spot gaps, refine your keywords and identify potential questions recruiters might have. You’ll learn: - Why keeping your resume simple works in your favor, and which details are worth highlighting. - How to make your LinkedIn profile clear, searchable, and useful to recruiters. - Why I recommend building relationships with recruiters and industry contacts before you need to ask for something. - How to use AI to compare job descriptions with experience, identify gaps, and save time. - Why staying visible and keeping relationships warm can matter just as much as submitting another application. The job search isn't just about submitting applications and crossing your fingers. Your resume gets you into the conversation, your LinkedIn profile gives people more context, and your network can help open doors you didn't even know were there. Add AI to the mix thoughtfully, and you have a pretty powerful toolkit for your next move.
