Break Free from Your Screen: Unlock the Power of In-Person Connections

In today's digital age, it's easy to get caught up in the comfort of our screens. But as a job seeker, it's essential to remember that true connections are made in person, not online. I've been urging job seekers to take a bold step: log off and get out there!

During regular business hours, it's crucial to be visible and present in the real world. There are plenty of opportunities to check your email or update your online profiles later. But for now, put the laptop away and focus on building meaningful relationships.

Why? Because submitting resumes and cover letters online is just the tip of the iceberg. It's easy to click "send" and wait for someone else to take action. But that's not going to get you hired. You need to take control of your job search and make connections that count.

So, what can you do instead? Get out of your comfort zone and attend networking events, join clubs or groups that align with your interests, and strike up conversations with strangers. You never know who might be able to introduce you to your next opportunity.

As a seasoned career coach, I've seen firsthand the power of in-person connections. Don't hide behind your screen – take the leap and start building relationships that will propel your career forward.
