Avoid These 3 Critical Errors on Your Executive Resume - Chameleon Resumes
Imagine you had a massive client you were looking to land… Or a huge RFP you were aiming to sign… Or a sizable source of funding you want to capture… Would you submit to a portal and wait to find out if you won the client, RFP, or funding? Or would you be calling your network, setting up meetings, and conversing with people all along the decision-chain… I don't think most of you would WAIT for action to happen to you. Yet…when it comes to executive job searching, that's exactly what many execs do… They wait for the job posting to appear to submit with hundreds or thousands of applicants…or they wait for executive recruiters to call. Only you know if this resonates with you… If it does, chances are, you might be doing one or more of the other three resume mistakes I mention in this video.

4 Causes Why Resume Matching Software May Not Work For You - Chameleon Resumes
If you have been running your resume through resume matching software and it's not working for you…it may not be you. It could be one of the 4 causes I outline in my next video as to why it won't work for you…for the job you are targeting or at all. And to be super clear, this is not a resume matching software bashing video. These tools can be really helpful in the right scenarios. But like all tools, no tool works in every scenario. Same with resume tracking software tools. So, if you have been running your resume through these platforms with no results, I bet you might have at least one of the problems I mentioned in the video. But no fear…hiring through job postings only accounts for about 20-25% of hires. So, if applying to jobs via postings isn't yielding interviews, you have other options—many other options. If you register for my upcoming live training session, I will show you how to write resumes for humans, software, and everything in between. I will also show you how to do a successful and exciting job search in today's tricky job market. You can register for this training here: http://freeexecresumetraining.com.

3 Beliefs Sabotaging Your Executive Job Search - Chameleon Resumes
3 Beliefs Sabotaging Your Executive Job Search How someone conducts their job search can tell an employer a lot about a candidate. Here is an example… Do you say, “You do things differently,” but then do the most common job search activities that the job-seeking masses do in droves? How can you say you approach business situations differently than others when you do the job search—essentially a business situation—just like every other job seeker? What you say and what you do must be in alignment. Did that last statement sting? Well then, you will want to watch this video… I share three job search sabotaging beliefs I see in senior-level job seekers who are struggling all the damn time. Note: none of this is meant to be accusatory. I share each observation in the video with love. Because unless you, the job seeker…my intended audience…are aware of the energy you put out into the world, it’s hard to change that energy to get what you want. What do you think? ——————— And if you find you want the economy of do-it-yourself job seeking plus access to world-class coaching (us!) who understand hiring and have a track record helping job seekers land, go to ultimatejobsearchplan.com.

5 Reasons Why The Job Search Is Harder Now - Chameleon Resumes
“Why is this job search so damn hard?” This is a sentiment I hear often… And, yes, the job search nowadays at all levels ain’t easy. It’s always had its challenges… But in this video, I go through 5 stats/scenarios that explain why it’s hard. Thank you to Jim Stroud of SourceCon, Hunt Scanlon, Hung Lee, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Katrina Kibben for their stats and insights that helped me come up with this list (credit given for each point in the video, too). It’s no wonder job seekers are burned out. These 5 points are big hurdles to overcome. But here is the thing… They are “overcome-able”… 100% First step to fixing a problem is admitting that you have a problem and accepting the situation at hand. So watch this video. And accept the situation… Like you have done 627 times at work. Once you accept the situation, you can come up with a plan. So DM me if you want to have a plan. And until then, keep educating yourself on how recruiting works and what’s going on “on the other side.” Each month, I have a pop-up career chat, aptly named PopUpCareerChat.com, where I speak to executive recruiting experts from different disciplines and tangentially-related-to-hiring experts (like executive comp lawyers, executive coaches, employment lawyers, executive education leaders, etc…) to give YOU the inside scoop on how hiring works. So go to PopUpCareerChat.com to register for my next guest session with Mark Polansky of Outcome Solutions (formerly of Korn Ferry for 25 years). We will be discussing how to use your IT knowledge to land a C-level role in any profession (CMO, CFO, COO, etc…). Tech knowledge isn’t just for CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, or CDOs anymore.

3 Ways To Reinforce Your Mental Strength During Your Job Search - Chameleon Resumes
Job searching in Jan 2024 can make you feel unseen and unvalued. The lack of replies from jobs you are perfectly qualified for, the countless mind-numbing online applications, and the ghosting….the damn ghosting. It's all painful and can make even an incredibly qualified, accomplished person question themselves … and their future. But I'm here to tell you… You are more than your job. You have opportunity before you. Your situation will turn around. But it will start with you…and your mindset.

What Kind Of Leaders Are Getting Hired In 2024? Chaos. Churn. Profit-saving. From my perspective, this is what the economic climate was like in 2023. Layoffs to save profits.

3 Unspoken Realities Recruiters Don't Say Aloud - Chameleon Resumes
3 Unspoken Realities Recruiters Don't Say Aloud Recruiters don't all recruit the same way. So no matter how loud and proud some LinkedIn influencing recruiters are, the bottom line is the ways they do things are not the only way — or some would say even the best way — to do things. In the dark corners of recruiting conferences and the privacy of one-on-one chats, executive recruiters have shared with me ways they recruit that would not be popular fodder for YouTube or LinkedIn videos. So they just put their head down and do their work successfully…which is to get people hired. But I'm here to share the realities with you, so as a job seeker, you are fully informed about how hiring happens. And some of them were the same realities that existed when I was a recruiter … I explain in this video. I welcome any thoughts, whether you agree with me or not… And if you want to learn more about how executive recruiting works, then I suggest you join me next week on Tuesday, 8/15/2023, at 12:00pmET for more insights from a first-hand recruiter and an advisor to recruiters who job search (me, yes, we have had a bunch of executive recruiters hire us to write their resumes because they know we get it and stay on top of trends).

I strongly believe that all candidates, currently working or not working, should be treated equally by hiring managers and algorithms. In this blog post, I explain in even more detail what to do with your LinkedIn profile if you are currently unemployed. https://chameleonresumes.com/unemployed-suggestions-powerful-executive-linkedin-profile I'm not selling anything on this video or the blog post. I'm just sharing free info to help people get rightfully ranked as they should be. Thank you for helping me spread this public service announcement to help me help others get found by recruiters!
4 Observations of LinkedIn Profiles of the Unemployed - Chameleon Resumes
Each week, unemployed job seekers ask me what they can do to turn things around for them… I want to help each and every person. I really do. But it’s just not that simple … often a quick email quip can fix the problem. The reasons for longer-than-expected unemployment can be many… After all, everyone is different. Every background is different. Job targets are different … …and the surrounding economics of every individual situation is different. But I find even if I can’t solve everyone’s problems with a quick email reply. I can bring up common observations I see so you, the unemployed job seeker, can evaluate if this resonates with you and can fix it yourself. That’s my goal. So, in this video, I share 4 observations I see in the LinkedIn profiles of those not working that I believe contribute to them not being found. Let me know what you think. But let me be clear…fixing these isnt the magic elixir to getting hired…and people can get hired if they aren’t following these observations. Nothing is an absolute nor an “easy button.” Like I said, everyone and every situation is so different. But if this helps you…I want to help. And email me at lr@chameleonresumes.com if you have any questions. Here for you…
