    Great round up list of job search articles, especially the eight different categories add good value to the list. Iโ€™ve been intrigued by the following 3 articles:

    โ€“ How to get yourself headhunted in 2017, no itโ€™s not really the same as in 2010 (Karalyn Brown โ€“ under the Recruiters category): this is a very impressive article that is rich in details and presents useful advice in a simple and clear way.

    โ€“ 29 Biggest LinkedIn Mistakes Most Job Seekers Make (Meg Guiseppi โ€“ under the Social Media and Personal Branding category): the article has good tips and valuable reminders about utilizing LinkedIn effectively.

    โ€“ How to Answer Impossible Interview Questions, Part 1 (Thea Kelley โ€“ under the Job Interviews category): when faced with an interview question that you canโ€™t answer or canโ€™t immediately answer โ€“ this article offers guidance on getting unstuck and navigating successfully through a particularly tough question.

    I believe the blog at TheBigGameHunter.us is incredibly comprehensive with thousands of videos, podcasts and articles about all aspects of job search. Thanks for all you do for job hunters
