This is the number one mistake I see from brands when hiring.

Focusing on the volume of candidates instead of quality is costing your brand more than just time - you could be letting your perfect hire slip away.

A good recruiter will put highly skilled and vetted candidates in front of you first try, so don’t let your doubts chase them away.

Doomjobbing is slowly killing your chances of landing your next role.

The results don’t lie - doomjobbing does not work. While it might seem like a good idea to get your name in front of as many companies as possible, you won’t get very far with a generic application and an AI generated cover letter starting with “Dear Manager”.

Hiring managers and recruiters see right through this, trust me.

Pick 3 or 4 roles, spend time researching the brand and their team, and show them that you’re the perfect person for the job with a high quality and high effort application.

I promise you, this will take you much further than hitting “apply to all”.

My 40’s always felt so far away, like I had a lifetime to get there. Life’s too short to force your comfort. If you’re not comfortable with something - change it. You accept what you don’t change. Here are some things I would tell my younger self:

- Trust your gut. If you get a bad feeling about someone, you’re probably right. And if you don’t like the way somebody’s acting, tell them.

- You don’t need to tick all of the boxes in your 30’s. Marriage, the house, babies, peak career - all things that society says you must have. You get to pick what success means, not society.

- The corporate life is not for everybody. Follow your dreams and passions, the things that literally light you up. Find what they are, and find a way to build an income around it. Success will follow.

- Stop being nice to get what you want. You don’t need to be friends with everybody to get the things you want in life. Being too nice will mean getting taken advantage of - don’t fall into this trap. Have boundaries and keep them.

- Your friendship groups will shift in ways that will really catch you off guard. You can’t be mad about it, and you can’t take it personally. In your 30’s, everyone is evolving, and priorities change. Think about it like being on a bus - people get on and off at different times for different reasons. Some will get off early, and some will stay for the whole journey.

What advice would you give your younger self?

Here’s the truth: you’re not going to find your dream candidate by doing a general search. đŸ’»

Posting to job boards will get you applicants, and a lot of them, but top talent aren’t waiting around for opportunities, they’re making them.

A good recruiter genuinely maps out an intuitive recruitment approach that profiles the exact candidate that you are looking for.

That’s exactly what we do at Alt Recruitment. Get in touch today 📧

This is my BEST piece of advice to anyone looking for a promotion, pay rise, or new position - a brag book will be your number 1 supporter and completely level up your interview game 📈

It might sound tedious or even boring, but trust me, keeping a log of your top achievements, impactful projects, and positive client feedback will give your manager physical proof that you deserve whatever it is you’re asking for.

Downplaying your success is out, owning your impact is in đŸ”„

Turns out the Devil Wears Prada was right 👠

First impressions are everything, so for your next interview, make sure you are passing the Miranda Priestly test.

Dressing to impress means no denim, no fleece, and no casual wear of any kind - your appearance should represent that you’re the right person for the job

That’s all ✹

1. Get clear on what you’re targeting

Choose the type of role you’re qualified for, and narrow down the industries where you already have experience or interest.

Know your target role, level, industries, and salary.

2. Get your LinkedIn into shape

Your profile should have:

- A clear, keyword-rich headline
- An About section that shows your expertise
- Your current and previous roles

3. Build a list of 50 target companies

Create a spreadsheet listing the businesses you genuinely want to work for.

For each company, identify the people who could potentially hire you or whoever is relevant to your function.

Then, connect on LinkedIn. Send a short message introducing yourself and explaining why you’re interested in their business.

4. Make your CV specific to the job you want

Prioritise the experience that’s most relevant to the role you’re targeting.

For every position, ask:

What did I own? What did I achieve? What changed because I was there?

Set alerts across LinkedIn and job boards for your target titles.

Check them every day and move quickly when something appears.

6. Find the recruiters who actually recruit in your space.

Find the recruiters who specialise in your function, industry or level.

Connect with them. Introduce yourself. Tell them exactly what you’re looking for.

Make it easy for them to remember you when the right brief lands.

7. Apply, then go one step further

If you find a role that’s a strong match, apply.

Then find the hiring manager associated with the position and introduce yourself.

Briefly explain why you’re relevant to the role.

8. Use your network

Go through your past managers, colleagues, clients, suppliers, and industry contacts.

Be specific and let people know what you’re looking for.
