3 tips for career success in 2025, from a recruiter who’s interviewed ‘thousands and thousands’

"Start by making a list of 50 companies you’d want to work for," says Emily Levine, executive vice president at Career Group Companies. "It’s really important to have some sort of direction in your search, instead of just applying anywhere."
Levine also suggests, "Going through your LinkedIn and making sure it’s current and updated" as a crucial step. She encourages job seekers to ensure their resume is free of errors and to seek feedback from their network. "People in your network might have more time to just put a second set of eyes on a resume or LinkedIn profile and share thoughts," she adds.
Levine emphasizes that a thoughtful, organized approach—starting with clear goals and utilizing your network—will set job seekers up for success in 2025.
