Reinvent yourself, by checking back on the required soft skills and domain skills that could help your career graph evolve more progressively. Look for what is trending within the workforce. This will help you determine if you’ll need to take any courses to grow your skill set or acquire any 

industry-specific certifications.

One way to beat the ATS software is to tailor your resume to the job description.  Of course, you shouldn’t simply copy and paste every requirement into your application, but you can pick out keywords such as required skills, experience, and other qualifications. Then,

naturally sprinkle these keywords throughout your resume up your chance of making it onto the shortlist.

Your resume is your first chance to impress a recruiter, so it needs to be well-written and show off your greatest professional achievements.  While a resume strictly talks about your background and experience, a cover letter highlights your top achievements but also 

your passion and what you bring to the table.

Join job boards and create a glowing profile for yourself. Job boards like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, CareerBuilder, Upwork, Indeed, and many more post thousands of jobs daily and allow you to connect with people in your industry. You should also continuously update your profile whenever you hit a new milestone or accomplish something.

In many cases, open positions aren’t even advertised, especially for executive and other high-level jobs.  Instead, individuals are recruited based on referrals and through a network of professionals. This is why networking is essential. If you aren’t already, start attending

networking events and joining mentorship programs.
