One thing I hear over and over is that people get hung up on the “walk me through your resume” part of the interview. This is the first question that an interviewer asks so it offers a chance to make a strong first impression.

I know that a job search can be a lot. On top of the time, energy, and brain space it takes up, you also have to put yourself out there and think about how you present yourself in online spaces. My colleague, Brenna Reagan, leads NRG’s marketing team. They know a lot about this topic and stay on top of trends in this space.

I have seen an influx of people looking for jobs right now. I know it’s tough out there and I want to help you throughout all steps of your job search, from beginning to end. 

In celebration of our 100th email, I asked the recruiter who has been working with me the longest to share some insights that I know you want to hear. Kristen gives us four tips after running over 1000 interviews.

With all of the chaos in the world and many people looking for a new role for the first time in a while, I thought I’d talk about starting your search and how to set yourself up for success.

Every few months, I choose to highlight other jobs out there with organizations doing good work even if NRG isn’t running the search. That’s what we are doing today.

Here are 4 questions that I have been receiving more recently from job seekers. I included some practical steps you can take if these questions are on your mind. 

We know a lot of people are looking for new jobs in the new year. In this week's Get Hired, we give you a 4-step job search strategy, and 4 ways we can help.

Speaking of the future, I know a lot of people are rolling off of campaigns right now and looking for what’s next. That means that now is the best time to prepare for your job search in 2025.

The idea of continuing the conversation beyond the initial introduction meeting is what I hear about most from bewildered job seekers. How do you keep the connection going?

In the last edition of this email, we launched the NRG Networking Toolkit to help you break through the obstacles that keep you from asking for meetings and expanding your network.

But once the meeting has been scheduled, what do you actually say during the conversation?

As long time readers know, I have always emphasized the importance of networking.

In July, we asked our Get Hired readers about their biggest networking pain points. After considering that feedback, we created the NRG Networking Toolkit to help you break through your fear and resistance to networking and help you execute.

Today, we are opening up the newsletter to other organizations in our networks to advertise their jobs. We are advertising these roles in early September because we know people are starting to seek out their next opportunity. Maybe, just maybe, your next role is on this list.
