How To Save A Job Search Playlist Like A Pro
It’s happened to everyone. The panic sets in when you hear a song you love on the radio, but by the time you get home to look it up — the title, tune, and lyrics have all escaped you. It’s frustrating when you discover something you love and cannot enjoy it again.
The same goes for the job search. Think about a time when you saw the job posting of your dreams and before you could recover it to apply, the deadline passed. You emailed it to yourself to apply later when you would have time to update your resume and cover letter, but then the rest of your busy days got in the way and soon you lost track.
For most of us — the struggle is real. Rake — an app that simplifies the job search by allowing job seekers to save, complete, and track applications all from one spot — created the infographic below to show the issues job seekers are running into during the search process and how to create a simple playlist to prevent losing your dream job before you even apply:
