Gone are the old days.
It's a new world out there, digital first, even AI first, and you need to know how to navigate it.
Here are some of the best ways to land a job in 2023:

Company Websites
Pursue your dream employer by checking out their site for Job listings. This is sometimes listed under Careers.
Friends and Family

Job Fairs
Whether virtual or in-person, a job fair is a great way to connect with recruiters and potential opportunities.
Cold Calling
Even if someone isn't advertising job opportunities, there may be a fit. Ask about upcoming vacancies and always include a copy of your resume. Don't be discouraged if you don't hear back.
An Up-To-Date Resume
Highlight any highly-transferrable skills - anything that you can take from one job to the next.
Informational Interviews
InstagramWhile you wait to hear back on potential job opportunities that you apply for, network with potential coworkers by conducting informational interviews with them. Many people are happy to do this and help someone out in their career. And if you make a connection with someone, it could lead to a potential referral.
All of the above, rinse, repeat. Keep doing all of these things and keep your head up, as it's only a matter of time before you land the perfect gig for you.
