Want That Job? Here's How To Get It
Before you apply for any jobs, you need to find the right fit. Sure, it may be tempting to hit Easy Apply on LinkedIn to every job you see. That’s not going to get you the right job unless you get really lucky. Instead, make sure you are looking for positions with companies that really match your values. Consider the office culture, the company’s goals, and the possible trajectory of your own career.
