When you’re applying for new employment opportunities because you’ve recently lost a job or you’re interested in moving on from your current job, you have to make a concerted effort to give yourself the best possible chances of landing the job you want. The job market is extremely competitive, and the course of events in 2020 has made the playing field even more competitive due to the dearth of new job creation across many different sectors. Ultimately, applicants need to strategize carefully over how to better position themselves to be hired.
