If relocation is in your future, the time to look for a new job is now. Don’t wait until after the move, says Find Your Dream Job guest Kimi Schiefer. Kimi suggests adding in your upcoming move when filling out your current location on application materials. And while it’s fine to be open to different opportunities, your communication with a hiring manager should stress how much you want the job they’re hiring for. Kimi also recommends using LinkedIn to connect with people in the new city before you move. Having a network in place will be helpful as you navigate a job search in a new location.

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16069&preview=true)
Did you know that when you walk into an interview room, you are in the driver’s seat? If you struggle to know what to say during interviews, Find Your Dream Job guest Tanya Maldonado suggests teaching. You teach the employer who you are, what you have to offer, and how you have impacted previous companies. Tanya also says you should prepare questions for them, to get to know more about the company, and so that your answers can address those issues. Your words matter, so use them carefully, sparingly, and to become a known entity to the employer and no longer a stranger.

What You Need to Tell Employers, with Charles McGee
Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16043&preview=true)
What do you think an employer wants to hear from you in an interview? If you said, “My background and skills,” you aren’t wrong. But according to Find Your Dream Job guest Charles McGee, it goes much deeper than that. An employer wants quantifiable facts. How did you make a difference at your previous job that can be measured? Charles also suggests not being afraid to share your weak points, but also explain how you’ve grown and overcome them, and what you learned as a result. Lastly, keep your resume concise; less visual clutter is easier for the employer to get through.
