Don’t take it personally if it’s taking you forever to find a new compliance job. According to Matt Kelly (LinkedIn), Editor and CEO at Radical Compliance, you’re far from alone.

It’s not that there aren’t jobs out there, he explains. There is just a hesitancy to hire due to the macro-economic environment. With so much economic instability and unpredictability, organizations are slower to hire.

Adding to the challenge is technology. A job posted on LinkedIn can generate hundreds or thousands of applications, making it more difficult for organizations to wade through them.

So how do you make yourself stand out and become a must-hire? He recommends moving beyond showcasing your ability to manage regulatory issues and instead focus on how your skills can help the organization navigate the range of operational risks that they face. Be sure to also shift from focusing on what you can do to defend the company to how you can help the company grow.

Finally, he advises showcasing your certifications and  cutting edge experiences, and using technology to help. There are AI tools out there which will help you tailor your resume to the posted job description.
