\"career<\/a>Step 1: Don\u2019t apply for the job.
\nStep 2: Repeat, as needed.<\/p>\n

Sometimes your job search can feel like a numbers game – the more applications you send in, the better the odds that you\u2019ll land that dream position, right?\u00a0 Well, what may have worked when you were in high school, looking for a summer job at the mall, is not necessarily the best strategy for advancing your professional career in local government.<\/p>\n

If you are what I call a Serial Applicant, you may actually be working against yourself and potentially sabotaging your end game in the process. Some reasons:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It is difficult to spend enough time crafting a meaningful cover letter, customizing your resume, and writing thoughtful answers to supplemental questionnaires if you are applying for every open position you see.\u00a0 Use your time to apply for those positions that truly seem like the best fit with your experience, career goals, and personal life. For example, if the position requires relocating and you know you really wouldn\u2019t move, don\u2019t apply. It\u2019s a waste of your time and the time of the recruiting agency.<\/li>\n
  2. It\u2019s a small, small world in local government. Within a certain region, you can bet that everyone knows everyone and the pool of qualified talent is surprisingly small. This means that someone sitting on your interview panel in City A today may be reviewing your resume for City B next month. This isn\u2019t necessarily a problem, as long as you are consistent in stating your qualifications and career goals. But if the jobs are completely different, or you represent yourself in a totally different way, you may not be taken seriously.<\/li>\n
  3. Those \u201cDear John\u201d rejection letters can have a real impact on your confidence level. When you apply for positions for which your education and skills don\u2019t fit well, you will inevitably be rejected more frequently. All this can play with your psyche when you\u00a0do\u00a0<\/em>get that interview for the perfect job, making you less confident when you should feel at your best.\u00a0 In turn, lack of confidence absolutely comes across in your body language and demeanor. Nothing kills an interview like a low-energy, slightly defeatist \u201cvibe\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Rather than being a Serial Applicant, focus your search energy on those positions for which you are best qualified, at the organizations in which you\u2019d love to work.\u00a0 This more strategic approach will yield better results in the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
