    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.

But beyond that, Find Your Dream Job guest Alicia Perkins says your skills can translate to new opportunities for you when leveraged correctly. Alicia suggests focusing more on the outcomes of your skills than the specific skills themselves.

    Why You Should Avoid AI Apply Bots, with Jessica Miller-Merrell

    Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=15596&preview=true) An AI bot might seem like the answer to the hours you spend submitting resumes and filling out application materials, but it could be harming your job search. These bots submit information about you without your oversight. Not only that, says Find Your Dream Job guest Jessica Miller-Merrell, but the facts they share are the same for each position. Jessica recommends taking the time to tailor each resume and application for the job you want. Narrow down your unique skillset, focus on the jobs that fit your skills, and spend your time researching your ideal companies and positions instead of submitting thousands of resumes per week.
