Why do so many mid-career professionals “think” that certain times of the year aren't a great time to find a new job or work on the job search?

One of the biggest mistakes I see mid-career professionals make is thinking that certain times are better than others to find a new job.

The truth is, the best time to find a new job is RIGHT NOW!

Here are three tips to help you maximize your job search.

Get Things in Order

When was the last time you looked at your resume or LinkedIn profile? The summer is a great time to take a few minutes here and there to find your resume, update your LinkedIn profile, and engage your network in helping you create whatever is next for you and your career. Rather than writing your own checklist, click here to check out my free Mid-Career Job Seekers Checklist to help you get everything organized.

Maximize Your Strengths & Minimize Your Mistakes

Your job search does not need to be “perfect.” Placing an expectation that you can’t make a mistake or don’t want things to be “messy” will only lead you down a path of inaction and no results. To help you maximize your efforts and minimize your potential mistakes, click here to check out my free guide called "From Stuck to Success: Five Mid-Career Mistakes to Avoid in Any Job Market." 

Take Action & Be Accountable

You can have the best plan in the world for finding a new job, but some people need a little more than a great plan. You need guidance, input, or coaching to help you take those next steps. Spots are open for one-on-one coaching starting next month. If you are interested in how I can help you as your coach, message me on LinkedIn or at [email protected]. I’ll share how we can get started to help you build Your Mid-Career GPS to find that job you’ll love.
