Getting employers to pick you

by Andrew Seaman, Editor at LinkedIn News

Alicia Perkins, a career strategist and resume writer, talks with LinkedIn News Editor Andrew Seaman for the latest episode of #GetHired Live.

They chat about standing out among a sea of job seekers, tailoring resumes for specific jobs and how to combat ageism as a younger or older job seeker.

Job seekers have a lot to worry about right now, including how they can stand out among the millions of others looking for work.

“The job market is very competitive right now,” said Alicia Perkins, who is a career strategist and resume writer, on the latest edition of #GetHired Live.

To stand out among a sea of job seekers, she suggests people:

• Build an online brand

• Do not just rely on job boards

• Connect with people

• Have conversations with your network
