A Smarter Approach to Job Searching

When searching for a new job, it's important to go beyond just the job title. Start by noting when the role was posted to gauge its relevance and urgency. Review the job description thoroughly—identify the must-have skills, the preferred qualifications, and see how well they align with your current experience and expertise. Pay attention to the role’s responsibilities to understand what will be expected of you if selected. Also, make sure the position matches your current designation and preferred location.
