MIAMI, Aug. 14,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Recent data from the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics shows that there are 7.2 million unemployed
individuals in the U.S., and the unemployment rate has risen to
4.3%, the highest it has been since 2021. JVG Strategies LLC, ("JVG
Strategies"), a career development firm, coaches job seekers to
stand out in a competitive job market with a strategic
approach.
"It's easy for job seekers to want to send out as many
applications as possible - and to some degree, it is a numbers
game. But many employers are seeing hundreds of applications. We
advise our clients to put their energy into high-impact actions,"
says JVG Strategies' Founder, Jacqueline
Victoria Grant, who has a strong background in recruiting,
consulting and coaching. "This means sending highly customized job
applications, networking intentionally, and thoroughly preparing
for interviews."
Grant emphasizes that the interview is a powerful opportunity to
showcase your value, personality, and build rapport with the
recruiter or hiring manager. Her perspective is that even if you
don't land the role, you can still establish a meaningful
connection that may lead to future opportunities. She advises that
preparation for the interview goes beyond just reviewing the job
description and the company's website. "To truly stand out," says
Grant, "you should think about what your interviewer cares about.
Research the company's competitors, understand industry trends, and
check out your interviewer's LinkedIn profile. This will help you
ask thoughtful questions. The recruiter's perspective may differ
from that of the hiring manager or executive, so tailor your
approach accordingly."
The team at JVG Strategies has collectively coached thousands of
job seekers across the U.S. and Canada, helping them land positions at leading
companies such as Nike and Microsoft.
