The recruiting market has experienced a dramatic change in the previous 12 months, going from being utterly static to being flooded with opportunities and talent taking back control of their careers.

It implies that now could be a great time for you to make adjustments and consider what you want from your work. However, it can also be overwhelming and make it challenging to know if you are choosing wisely.

So, to assist you in navigating it, here are a few useful ideas. Instead of applying for everything, narrow your search to a few positions you actually want. The temptation to send your resume to every position you qualify for may be strong, but you won’t be able to pitch yourself for the positions you actually want if you do that.

Define your most important accomplishments in terms of accessible metrics. Count or describe the impact. Be open to adapting while maintaining clear preferences for working methods.
