I think a good way to adapt your search right now with given the economic uncertainty that
00:07
we're facing is to really niche down. An ineffective strategy would be to just throw
00:13
spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. So instead of doing that, really niche your search
00:18
down. So making sure that you're applying for roles that are heavily aligned with your skill
00:24
sets and experience roles that are not a stretch for you. I think now is not the time to be
00:30
applying for a role that's many levels up. That's a stretch because that's going to go
00:34
to a more experienced candidate in this market. Really niching down your search in terms of what
00:39
you want. Is it remote, hybrid, in office? What type of leadership are you looking for? What type
00:44
of team collaboration style are you looking for? Factor in all of those different things and niche
00:49
your search down. When you have a narrow focused search, you're going to yield better results
00:54
than casting a wide net.
