I recently spoke with a friend who's a career coach, and he shared some valuable insights on how to effectively search for a new job. According to him, a career coach can assist in four key areas, each of which can be covered in a single coaching session.

1: Utilize Job Boards

Identify your desired job types and search for them on job boards, such as fastjobs.sg (a popular option for Singaporeans). Apply to relevant openings that match your goals.

2: Enhance Your LinkedIn Profile

Update your LinkedIn profile to create a strong online resume. This will increase your visibility to potential employers and recruiters.

3: Refine Your Resume

Update your master CV and tailor it to each job application by extracting relevant information. This will help you stand out in a competitive job market.

By focusing on these four areas with the guidance of a career coach, you'll significantly improve your chances of landing your next job. Take control of your job search today!
