While there are many benefits of working remotely, one aspect that suffers is the relationship with our coworkers. As social animals, we need connections, and unfortunately, connecting with our colleagues becomes more difficult when we don't share a workspace together.

Research shows that leaders who prioritize relationships with their employees and lead from a place of positivity and kindness simply do better, and company culture has a bigger influence on employee well-being than salary and benefits. When it comes to cultivating happiness at work, it comes down to fostering positive relationships at work.

Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
|
I haven’t gone through many job searches and on top of the stress around embarking on a new search, I feel some shame about not knowing how to do this successfully. How do I get over this?
|

Your ability to navigate a job search is not reflective of whether or not you have the capacity to perform well at a job, but it can be easy to equate the two when you’re not sure where to begin or you’ve experienced early rejection. If you’re feeling insecure about not knowing how to start a job search or worried about your prospects, don’t fret. I coach clients at all levels in their careers - some incredibly senior, with flashy job titles - who aren’t sure how to communicate their experience on a resume or cover letter.
The best way to start a job search, especially if you’re feeling insecure about the process, is to anchor yourself in your personal value proposition. Do some reflection and/or journaling around these questions:
- What are problems I’m uniquely positioned to solve in my role, on my team, and/or for my employer?
- What evidence can I provide that demonstrates my ability to solve these kinds of problems? (evidence can be anecdotal, like consistent positive feedback about a particular area of strength, but it’s even better if you have data to back it up - student outcomes, goals met/exceeded, money saved, etc.)
- When am I most energized and feeling the most successful at work? (for example, I’ve had clients tell me they are in the zone and feel happiest when they’re leading a training in front of a big audience, or cleaning up an excel document)
Once you have answers to these questions, look at your existing materials - your resume, your cover letter (if applicable), your LinkedIn profile. Is your personal value proposition clear and aligned across all three? Is it clear that you not only love leading training, but you’re very good at it (as evidenced by having high audience satisfaction scores, or because you noted how many trainings you’ve led and which topics you’ve covered)?
Formatting a resume is actually the easy part. The biggest list is focusing on the content and ensuring your job-seeking materials accurately reflect your strengths and data to support those strengths! You’ll feel so much more confident about your job-seeking approach and likely find more success in the process.
