We get it! From updating your resume and writing cover letters, to networking and branding yourself online, it’s easy to feel like you’re setting out to do the impossible.
The good news is: Whether you’re looking for your first job, thinking about making a major career change, or just hoping to try something different, there’s a light at the end of the job search tunnel—and we’re here to help you every step of the way.
We teamed up with recruiters from some of our favorite companies hiring on The Muse - Peloton, WW, Etsy, and Taboola - to find out what they actually look for in potential candidates. They joined us for a panel-style workshop here at our headquarters in NYC to share their expert insights on how to tackle each phase of the job search and start off on the right foot.
