Integrity and Ethics: The Cornerstone of Leadership Excellence
In today’s dynamic business environment, where change is constant and challenges are abundant, the role of leadership has never been more critical. At the heart
WHEN EMBARKING YOUR JOB SEARCH
If you’re job hunting, we suggest allocating just 10% of your time to online activities. Use the rest of your time – that is, MOST OF YOUR TIME – to strategically chasing leads, networking, dive into research about companies of interest, and personally connect with the people you meet along the way.
The typical job search lasts around 17 weeks.
Between 65% and 70% of jobs are secured through personal referrals or networking.
Nine out of ten of job placements result of employee referrals.
One out of three hiring managers eliminate candidates based on things they find on candidates' social media profiles. Be conscious of what you post, and delete old stuff that makes you look silly (or worse).
YOUR TIME IS PRICELESS
This career page is designed to help job seekers at various stages – whether actively or passively searching, just starting a career or currently employed. All job seekers face time constraints. Time is not merely valuable. IT’S PRICELESS. Use it wisely.
Our aim is to empower you with enhanced efficiency, effectiveness, and focus. While our career search tips demand an investment of time and effort, those who implement these strategies will experience heightened prospects and better outcomes.
Rather than seeking out strictly business networking events, explore groups of people engaged in activities you enjoy. Whatever you’re into – golf, cooking, photography, or hiking – consider joining some relevant groups. Settings like these foster relaxed interactions, that can lead to meaningful conversations and the chance to discuss professional topics.
Professionals in your field are often part of groups, associations, clubs, and learning communities. Research these options. Approach this strategically by reaching out to group leaders to learn the group's purpose and objectives, to ensure alignment with your goals. Then, grab the bull by the horns and start participating.
You might be surprised to discover potential job-related connections among your family, friends, church, or social media networks. Share with them the type of career you’re interested in, or even better, identify the kind of people you’d like to meet. Then take the next step and pursue the connections. Your current network is likely a treasure chest of more influence and value than you may realize.
Invest the extra effort needed to tailor your resume and – especially – the cover letter to the specific job. Leverage the insights from point #1 to showcase your suitability. The cover letter in particular should be crafted to impress the reader as to why you’re so well suited for the job and why you’d especially like to work for that company.
Aim for a resume length of 1-3 pages, particularly if you have 10 years of experience or less. Don’t pad your resume with material that’s not very pertinent (e.g., your high school summer job scooping ice cream). Keep in mind that a resume stuffed with material of little or no interest to a hiring manager is likely to be discarded because it looks like too much work to find the gold nuggets in a big pile of sand and gravel. Short but sweet is more likely to be a winner.
Scrutinize your spelling and grammar. Keep an eye out for typos too. A sloppy resume or letter is likely to suggest a level of carelessness that might make you unsuitable for the job. Ask for proofreading assistance from a friend, colleague, spouse, or, preferably, a recruiter.

You want your application to vividly depict your achievements. For instance, "built a team, going from 0 to 10 sales reps within 12 months" or "effectively managed a marketing department of 6 for five years."
