Job Hunting Efficiency

How many headhunters (at a recruitment agency) in your target country have you contacted by email in a personalized manner? LinkedIn doesn’t count 😉
Note: if you have 3 target countries, then estimate the average per country. Example: You are looking for a job in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You have contacted 4 headhunters in Germany, 0 in Austria and 15 in Switzerland. That’s 6.3/country. Being precise is important!
How many decision makers (= your potential bosses) have you contacted by email? LinkedIn doesn’t count 🙂
Note: count 1 person per target company. If you have emailed 2 people at the same company –> count them as 1.
How many people from your network have you contacted in a personalized manner and informed about your job search?
How many job ads have you applied to using a plainly-formatted CV that you had scanned with a keyword-matching software like JobScan?
Note: only count those job ads that you have applied to using a CV that had been scanned with a keyword-matching software.
Is your LinkedIn profile up to date and flawless?
Note: be honest with yourself. Assess: personalized profile link, professional photo, profile in one language, no language mistakes, consistent length of descriptions, not a copy/paste of your CV, filled out profile summary, good tagline/headline.
Have you thoroughly searched keywords of relevant job ads on LinkedIn and then optimized your profile?
Have you done a thorough analysis of skills from relevant job ads on LinkedIn and then optimized your profile?
Have you filled out the job seeking preferences under your profile settings on LinkedIn?
Have you optimized the invisible “Open to” option on LinkedIn?
