To understand what recruiters are actually looking for  during job interview

 

Success in your job search is about being RUTHLESS. You have to move away from the way you think this job search works and focus on new value, new techniques, and limited time. If you have 2 hours a week to execute a job search would you bang on the keyboard for 2 hours applying for jobs online? That's a waste of time. If you had two hours to spend on your search, you would be ruthless about cutting bad strategies, testing new techniques, and getting the highest return. 

How do you do this? Mindset is first and product is second. The mindset of a successful job seeker is to limit the amount of time spent on your search and make the most out of that time as if your livelihood depended on it.
