Before I was working with Wonsulting, my job search strategy was quantity over quality. I sent out over hundreds of applications only to hear back from a select few or sometimes no one. Being a coding bootcamp grad, this was the mentality our instructors taught us since the competition was high for new grad roles. I was getting burnt out and tired of my hard work and efforts were going to waste. Wonsulting really stepped up my job search skills and showed me techniques on how to stand out from other candidates and improve my response rate with recruiters. I was finally getting responses from recruiters at companies that I would usually get an automated rejection email from! Three years later, Iâm still using the techniques I learned from Wonsulting and I finished my most recent job search with 6 offers and ended up at my dream company at Meta! I owe much of my success to Wonsulting and would highly recommend their courses and services to anyone in their job search!
Wonsulting helped me land a job using 5 steps. 1) Career Consulting: I was assigned a career consultant, who guided me through filling out a spreadsheet determining my qualifications for job postings I was interested in. 2) Networking: Wonsulting gave me tips on how to use LinkedIn to connect with recruiters. 3) Resumé and LinkedIn Profile Revision: Wonsulting helped me tailor my resumé & LinkedIn profile specifically for positions I wanted. 4) Mock Interview: Wonsulting sent me a cheat sheet of FAQ's at job interviews and helped me prepare for them. And 5) Salary Negotiation: Wonsulting shared resources to help me research the market rate for my desired position, and how to ask for it (and resist employers who offered me salaries below it).
Wonsulting helped me tailor my resume to highlight my strengths and skills as a new grad looking to step into the world of Supply Chain. By focusing on aspects that complimented the role I was applying to, I was able to leverage the skills that I achieved over my academic and work career. Â By being assigned an individual case worker, I was able to get real-time constructive feedback on my resume and how we could improve it.
I had assistance with strengthening my resume and using keywords that would pop out to the recruiter. I had previously had a lot of fluff words and they cut it back. I saw a difference between using quantities and keeping it brief. The coach I was assigned with was knowledgeable and provided a lot of different resources for ongoing change for my resume.
Wonsulting showed me how to connect and message recruiters and employees on LinkedIn. Before applying, I networked with several employees who worked at the company who had graduated from my university. Additionally, I was able to connect with my LinkedIn recruiter before the internship application went live. When the application launched, I received a referral from a member of my network. Ultimately, I was very fortunate to receive an offer and am so excited for the upcoming summer. This is all thanks to Wonsulting and their job search strategies!
