According to the LinkedIn Talent Trends 2015 Report, only 61% of companies recruit passive candidates – providing you with a great opportunity to tap into this talent pool
Prioritizing job applicants is a difficult task. No one wants to discount a candidate who could potentially be the perfect fit for your organization. You also don’t want to be the person who championed a candidate who turned out to be a hiring mistake.
Regardless of the reason for taking a break, when it comes to getting back on the horse and getting back into career mode, you need to have a plan. Even if you were only gone for a short period of time, things will have likely changed, and you need to do everything you can to ensure you are up to speed to give yourself the best chance of jumping back into your career where you left it.
Hiring is your opportunity to improve your team, add people with additional skills, and make a difference to the overall performance of your team. One aspect of the hiring process, especially in marketing, are social media background checks.
Rejection is part of the job search process. You are not going to get every job you want, and one should expect to get a few “thanks, but no thanks” responses along the way. It’s part of the job hunt – it’s also hard not to take it personally.

One of the first things you’ll learn about career advice is that everyone has some to offer – even those who know very little about your career or industry. People love to offer advice – some is useful and some is downright terrible career advice.
Having a great resume is a very valuable career tool. It will help you get your foot in the door, get the attention of recruiters and hiring managers, and it is what will land you job interview requests. A poorly crafted resume will do the opposite – it will get buried in the pile of other bad resumes, never to be looked at again.
