Online job postings have fundamentally changed how people search for a job. Hiring managers increasingly rely on referrals to avoid reviewing hundreds of resumes per posting. However, job seekers crave the perceived efficiency that an online jobsite offers, pouring hours into searching job portals and applying to anything that seems relevant. We recently spoke with Steve Dalton, Program Director and Senior Career Consultant at Duke University’s Fuqua School of Business, and A...uthor of the Amazon bestseller The Two Hour Job Search: Using Technology to Get the Right Job FASTER, about how jobseekers can take a better approach to jobseeking. Instead of providing laundry lists of tips which readers must trial-and-error through, The 2-Hour Job Search offers step-by-step, time-limited instructions for the most frustrating part of finding work getting a first interview. This science-based process splits the job search into manageable pieces, each requiring at most 15 minutes, to help those looking for work conduct the best job search possible. Learn more about the book and Steve’s key takeaways from working with hundreds of jobseekers in our discussion! #LdnOnt #careers #jobsearch
