Is applying with a good resume and cover letter not going to cut it anymore? I'm not very sure how else to do this whole job-searching thing, but I really need to hear about the approaches that actually work before I run out of my savings.

I’m interested in this as well. I have no trouble securing a clinical role but when trying for more advanced roles I can never secure the offer. Would love to know what more I can be doing to stay out for these roles.

A strong resume and cover letter help you not get ruled out, but they’re rarely enough to stand out. What I see working now is pairing them with networking (even light LinkedIn reach‑outs), referrals, and a portfolio or work examples that show proof, not just claims.

Wow it has gotten so crazy!

A resume and a cover letter can get you in the door for an interview. And it's during interviews that you might secure the job. An alternate approach is to get a referral to an organization by someone who works there, or someone who somehow has a connection. That will also get you in the door, but, again, interviewing is the main event.

A strong resume and cover letter still make the cut, but networking and tailoring applications to pass the ATS filter is what makes the whole process a little bit less stressful.

Whom you surround yourself with is a choice, just like everything else in your life.

Don't underestimate the strength you can gain from having the right people by your side who genuinely support you through good times and bad. You shouldn't make space for people who bring constant negativity.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
