Have you ever stepped back and thought about how similar the process is, of finding a job to buying a house? Like in nearly every single way - the parallels are eerie! So let’s talk about it…

My special guest today is global talent acquisition leader, Shannon Taylor and he’s simplifying why you should treat your job search like buying a house. Because if this simple (yet profound!) reframe helps you feel more empowered and better equipped, then I’m calling that a WIN.

Here’s how.

My all-star special guest today is Shannon Taylor and he’s simplifying why you should treat your job search like buying a house. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including:

His take on what’s going on in the job market right now and why it seems so different this year.
He breaks down all the reasons why he draws comparisons between buying a house and finding your next job…

Turnover low, job supply low, demand high and getting the timing just right.

Using this house buyer analogy, he talks about where job seekers can go to find the “hidden job market,” as in, the roles that are rarely publicized or have less competition

These are called “off-market pocket listings” in real estate or jobs that might be outside of what you typically go for.

How job seekers can make their “offer” the most compelling when applying for roles, so they land the interview.
In job seeking (as also in buying a house), there’s a bit of serendipity and magic to it… How a job seeker can increase their chances of getting the stars to align in their job search.
