Why Your Job Search is Failing (and How to Fix it)
Manage episode 345784979 series 1987794
There is no one answer to how to get a job in sports, but there are definitely ways that you can sabotage your search if you aren’t careful. Lorena in Texas is having a hard time getting her career started and has this question for the WorkInSports Podcast:
“Hi Brian, I’m pretty new to the podcast, a friend told me about it and I’ve been really enjoying the guidance you provide. You may have covered this question in the past, but I’m struggling for answers and hoping you can help. I’ve got a good degree, I’ve done internships, and I’m just not getting job offers. I’m frustrated, but even more than that I’m scared. Do you have any strategies that may help me?”
There are many checkpoints an employer goes through when they decide whom to hire, and you may not know where your candidacy is falling short. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself depending on which phase of your search you’re struggling with:
Not Hearing Back on an Application
• Did you tailor your resume to match the job description?
• Are you customizing your cover letter for every application?
• Are you a fit for the jobs you are applying for?
Getting Phone/Virtual Interviews, but Not Progressing
• Have you done enough research on the organization?
• Do you come across professionally?
• Are your answers to interview questions specific?
Getting a Second Interview, but Not Landing the Job
• How well do you exhibit your relevant soft skills?
• What are you saying about past employers?
• Are you evading questions?
