#34 Oh Really? “Top 100 Career Development Blogs & Websites for Career Advice & Guidance in 2020”
When we work with our clients, we focus on them – not us. As a result, when one of our consultants do share something, the main reaction is, “Oh, really? I didn’t know!”. We will, therefore, do better! :)
Job Search Webinars: 14 reasons why it’s (still) worth watching them
We’ve collected some feedback and impressions from the participants of both editions of our Open Webinars. Here’s what they think of our initiative and how has it helped them so far:
I have made it to the final round with one job […]. Your tips helped because I contacted the CMO directly. They respect my effort so far in terms of applying […]. I don’t know what will happen, but you helped so much!
External Consultant
I got invited for an interview […] and the recruiter asked me for my CV, therefore I sent the one I had prepared based on Open Webinars. During the interview, I was answering questions using the STAR method. Then I got invited for the second interview […]. I do believe that recruiters have a better first impression once reading my tidy, improved CV.
A big thank you to Career Angels for providing such useful tips!
Financial Controller
Thank you for the support! I modified my CV and the screening calls are going much better for me now. I have had a few interviews so far […]. Another useful piece of advice was to get in touch with headhunters. I am slowly building my network.

Market Signals (Week 32)
The art of interpreting signals (precursors of trends) is – and always has been – important in navigating financial markets and economies. If you are an experienced manager or executive who wants to manage their career and/or job search processes wisely, look at the signals of the job market which are inseparably embedded in the VUCA landscape of today’s world.
We usually keep the collected data to ourselves. But these are not usual times, so we decided to share our insights at the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.

Introduction to Market Signals – weekly LinkedIn job market report (Week 32) [video]
Before there are trends, there are signals! One KPI that Career Angels track to observe changes on the job market is the number of published job ads on LinkedIn.
Summer is…what summer?
This summer is different from the summers that we are used to. Lots of candidates, recruiters and decision makers:
1) already had to take their vacation days
2) don’t feel safe travelling
3) don’t have the financial stability to go on holidays
