Let’s Get Real About Job Hunting in 2025 The job market is... well, a rollercoaster, isn’t it? 🎢 You’re applying left, right, and center, maybe even landing a few interviews. But then... silence. You’re left wondering, “What am I missing?” After 12 years in recruitment, here’s what we have learned: The key to job search success? 👉 Focusing on what you CAN control and letting go of what you CAN’T. Here’s the breakdown: Factors Out of Your Control ❌ Timing: If you apply late, the role might already be halfway filled. Timing can be everything. ❌ Internal Hires: Sometimes, the role was filled before you even hit send. Don’t take it personally. ❌ Biases: Unfortunately, they exist. Their loss, not yours. ❌ Fake Job Ads: Be cautious. Some postings exist solely to steal information. Stay vigilant. ❌ Ageism: A sad reality for some. Don’t let it break your confidence. Factors In Your Control ✅ Your CV: Is it telling your story? Does it highlight your achievements and value? If not, it’s time for a makeover. ✅ Your LinkedIn Profile: This is your professional billboard. Make it count. Let it reflect your expertise and personality. ✅ Your Job Search Strategy: Throwing CV at random jobs? That’s a fast track to rejection. Be intentional. Research. Tailor. Strategize. ✅ Your Network: Connections are EVERYTHING. Engage with people, build relationships, and show genuine interest. Networking works wonders. A “no” today doesn’t mean a “no” forever. Keep showing up. Keep improving. Your dream job is out there. Now, take a deep breath, recalibrate, and own this process. You've got this! 💪 Send us an inbox if you need support in preparing your CV.
