Setting Job Search Goals

Secrets of a CRA Recruiter ·

2025/07/14

I asked my client what her daily job search goals were, and she simply stated: To get a job. Hmmm…I believe she has confused the act of setting daily search goals with what she hopes the results will be. There is a key difference between setting a goal and achieving a result. The primary difference lies in the focus. Setting a goal is about defining what you want to achieve, while achieving a result is about the actual outcome after taking action. According to Better Career, a position ...

2025/05/19

Many candidates struggle to effectively answer this common interview question. In fact, we have recently had several very experienced candidates faceplant when attempting to articulate whether they are able to work individually or as part of a group.
