If you haven't looked for a new job in a while, don't worry. Here are some tips to help you find the best fit for you.

1. Be clear about what you want

The method of applying for all offers is ineffective in attracting the attention of recruiters and is a recipe for burnout. Instead of claiming every job you think you could do, be clear about exactly what you want.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself:

• What kind of work do I want to do (eg talent acquisition, software development)?
• What skills do I have (part-time job, SQL, proofreading)?
• What certificates or degrees do I have (if any)?
• What kind of work am I looking for (part-time, freelancing, hybrid, alternative schedule)?
• Do I want to travel for work?
• Am I ready/ready to move (and if so, where)?
• If there is no hiring in my industry, do I have skills that can be applied to other areas?

2. Target specific companies

Once you answer the questions above, use this to find targeted companies. Don't just go to the job board and search all over the country for every job that has the job title you want.

There are too many ads to review and the company may decide not to list what you want. It is much more efficient to make a list of companies and focus on their vacancies.

For example, if you're looking to work remotely in a field like healthcare, you might want to target companies like UnitedHealth Group or CVS Health.

Being company-focused helps focus your job search and can lead to you getting a new position faster.

3. Use LinkedIn

Did you know that 95% of recruiters use LinkedIn to fill jobs? You severely limit your access to opportunities and career advancement if you are not there.

LinkedIn is completely free and easy to use. In addition, it can be a valuable tool for networking with other professionals and recruiters, as well as targeted research companies.

Some general recommendations for LinkedIn include:

• complete your profile completely to get "all stars". So you can be found in more search queries;
• follow relevant hashtags to keep up to date with industry news and trends;
• be professional. Remember that employers can see all your activity on LinkedIn.

4. Create a portfolio

A portfolio is a great way to stand out from the competition when looking for a job. It provides employers with proof of your skills and accomplishments.
