In the first episode of the second season of the extremely engaging, highly recommended, overwhelmingly entertaining, very close to award-winning Project Pundits Unplugged Pod Braden and Jim talk about jobs. Yes, jobs. Jim talks about a recent experience posting 1 Job and getting over 1,000 applicants in just 6 days… And how weird the job market is as compared to the health of the overall economy.
The guys cover refreshers on applying for jobs on LinkedIn, resume dos and don'ts, and why, unfortunately, even if you get it all right it may not matter. They get into what you really need to do to find and land your next position.
