Summary

Check out the podcast on Macslist here: (https://www.macslist.org/?post_type=podcasts&p=16262&preview=true)  Starting a job search without a strategy is like wandering in the dark. According to Find Your Dream Job guest Mher Mardoyan, most job seekers make the mistake of immediately updating their resume and applying online without a clear focus. This "spray and pray" approach leads to zero responses because it lacks intention. Mher's seven-step framework transforms job searching from day one: identify your core values, maintain a positive mindset throughout the marathon-like process, and craft compelling stories that make you memorable. Successful job searching requires treating it like a project with weekly goals and dedicated time blocks. Rather than applying to 50 jobs with generic resumes, focus on fewer opportunities where your skills truly align. The key differentiator? Networking and relationship building – many positions are filled through referrals, not online applications. About Our Guest: Mher Mardoyan is a career coach who helps early to mid-level professionals find jobs faster.  He’s also the host of the Career Advice Podcast, Crack the Hiring Code, Get Hired.  Resources in This Episode: Visit his YouTube channel  Connect with Mher on LinkedIn.
