Not Just Any Job: How to Build a Target Employer List and Search with Intention, Ep.118

Episode Description

You're not 22. You're not looking for your first job out of college. And you're not willing to take just anything.

So why are you searching like you are?

In this episode of the Her Next Chapters job search series, I'm sharing one of the most underused strategies in a midlife job search: building a target employer list. Instead of reacting to job postings, you'll learn how to use LinkedIn's company search and filters to identify the right employers — before a role ever gets posted. Then I'll show you how to activate your network with something specific and actionable, so the people who already know and trust you can actually help.

This is the job search as an act of intention. And it changes everything about how you show up.

Topics covered: LinkedIn company search, filtering by location, industry, and company size, how to research target employers, and how to give your network a concrete ask.
