10 Job Search Strategies Beyond the Resume

Many people want the resume dead.

But the truth is, the resume is still an essential part of your job search. Job descriptions still tell you where to send or upload it. It's a stimulant for conversations at every level. 

But the rest is up to you. Resumes still matter, but they are not your primary tool for the job search anymore. They only jump-start the process. In fact, a resume alone does not give cause for an employer to call you. 

What job search tactics provide more value than a resume alone? Find out now.

Warner Bros Discovery Shares Plunge on Financial Struggles

Warner Bros Discovery experienced a significant drop of over 11% in its stock value, following a substantial $9.1 billion write-down of its TV assets, which raised concerns about the company's broadcasting sector. The media giant reported a $10 billion net loss for Q2, missing Wall Street's expectations and overshadowing its growth in streaming subscribers. This financial turmoil is compounded by the loss of a major sports broadcast deal and the broader impact of the shift to streaming. Since its merger in April 2022, the company has seen its market value diminish by more than $40 billion, with shares hitting a 15-year low. Analysts highlight the urgent need for a clear turnaround strategy amidst ongoing challenges.

Travel Industry Faces Slowdown as U.S. Consumers Delay Bookings

Travel companies like Airbnb and Marriott International are anticipating a slowdown in leisure travel as U.S. consumers delay vacation bookings amid an uncertain economic climate. Despite a period of strong demand, the industry is now warning of flat bookings in the third quarter. Hilton Worldwide and other major players, including Delta Air Lines and Walt Disney, have noted weaker performance, particularly in the U.S. market. Hilton expects minimal growth in leisure travel, though it has raised its 2024 profit forecast due to strong international revenue. Marriott has also adjusted its revenue growth forecast downward due to softer North American demand. Airbnb and Booking Holdings are seeing slower growth domestically, with consumers opting for cheaper options and last-minute bookings. Airbnb shares fell to their lowest point since May 2023, reflecting these challenges. Investors await further insights from Expedia Group , which will report its earnings soon.
