CareerLaunch FAQ—What’s the Most Important Factor in a Job Search?

While helping 1,000+ clients with their job search needs, we’ve been asked many questions and have had the honor of hearing our clients’ job search experience stories—both good and bad. Often we hear our clients say they’re burned out, stressed, or plain wearied from the lack of response to their search efforts.

What do you think is the most important factor to a successful job search? Your resume? Solid interview skills? Or maybe your college degree?

Those are all important, but they aren’t the MOST important factor.

The most important factor in a job search is your confidence. Your confidence or the lack thereof impacts every step of your job search. A lack of confidence will be evident to hiring managers in your resume, in your demeanor, and in every other aspect of your job search.

That’s why our approach to helping you with your search involves us working WITH you, not FOR you. We help you dig deep into the past, present, and future of your career, and we stand confident in our ability to help you build your confidence.
