    7 Ways To Reimagine Your Job Search, with Katie Silver

    Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15623&preview=true) Spending 40+ hours per week applying to jobs is not a job search strategy; it’s a default position that too many people rely on. But with hundreds of people applying for some job within days of listing, you need to do more than apply. Find Your Dream Job guest Katie Silver says you need to narrow down your search to those things that bring you joy. You’re more likely to stay with a company longer if you enjoy working there, says Katie. And don’t be afraid of doing contract or fractional work, as it opens up opportunities for growth, experience, and expanding your network.  About Our Guest: Katie Silver is the co-founder of the Southern Pass Company.
