Have a Specific Company as Your Target?

Yes, it’s a candidate’s market. But if your goal is to land a job at a big brand or Fortune 100, you aren’t a shoo-in. The best companies are still awfully picky about who they hire. So how to increase your odds?

💡 Do the research into the types of skills that matter in the roles you’re likely to land. Invest in getting that experience and learning what you need to know. Be able to articulate what value you bring to the company.

💡 Put a lot of thought into your resume and your LinkedIn profile, finding ways to stand out without alienating hiring managers or automatic tracking systems.

💡 And, of course, work with a recruiter! As one myself, for 25+ years, I have ideas and connections.

If you have your sights set on working for a very specific company, it never hurts to chat with a #recruiter.
