Job hunting can feel overwhelming, but with the right tools and mindset, you can simplify the process and find opportunities that match your skills. Here are a few job hunting tips using LinkedIn and ChatGPT that can make a big difference.
Use LinkedIn Job Alerts the Right Way
At the top of LinkedIn, go to Jobs → Preferences → Job Alerts → Search for Jobs. This unlocks filters for salary, remote, and more. As you scroll through results, look for the gold jobs labeled top applicant, those are the ones where your background matches. Don’t waste your time with anything less than the gold ones.
Pair LinkedIn with ChatGPT
Upload your PDF resume into ChatGPT and give it clear instructions like: “When I ask how many years I did something, just give me the number.” Then, as you fill out applications, you can copy the question (e.g., “How many years have you worked with AWS?”) and instantly get the answer. This saves time and ensures consistency.
Take Advantage of Easy Apply
LinkedIn provides up to 50 Easy Apply opportunities per day. While some dismiss them, remember: you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Even if nothing else, it builds momentum and keeps you in the right mindset.
Mindset Matters
Ignore the negativity about the job market. Companies are still hiring, recruiters still exist, and there are opportunities waiting for you. Approach each day with focus, discipline, and optimism.
You are a winner. Your next role is out there, it’s your job now to go find it. They’re searching. Are you?
