Job hunting can feel like a full-time job — we get it. Whether you’re actively applying or just starting to look around, here are five easy (but important!) things that can really help you stand out:

1. Update Your Resume

Make sure your resume is up to date and easy to read. Highlight your recent experience and keep it clear and simple. Bonus tip: use keywords from the job post — it helps recruiters find you!

2. Don’t Just Apply Everywhere

It’s tempting to send out tons of applications, but quality beats quantity. Take a little time to customize your resume or note for each job — it really does make a difference.

3. Reach Out to People (Including Us!)

You don’t have to job search alone. Let friends, coworkers, or even old classmates know you're looking. And definitely connect with recruiters — like TELLUS Recruiting! We’re here to help you find the right opportunities, share feedback, and guide you through the process.

4. Ask Questions in Interviews

An interview isn’t just about answering questions — it’s your chance to see if the company is right for you. Ask what a typical day looks like or what the team is like. You deserve to find a place that fits.

5. Be Kind to Yourself

Job searching takes time. If you don’t hear back right away, don’t get discouraged. Keep going, keep learning, and remember — the right job is out there.
