It's brutal. I'm frustrated. Nobody is responding…
These are the comments heard in almost every conversation about the job market these days—as every opportunity and posting attracts hundreds if not thousands of applicants. And all too often, people think technology will do everything for them.
Getting a job today takes so much more than just updating your resume and sending it out everywhere. Instead, you'll be online assessing, video responding, and amplifying your visibility in a competitive job market.
