The Secret to Finding
a Job Faster is to know what you are good at, and Success Stories to
demonstrate that ability. The more you can Identify Your Specific Gifts, and
express them clearly, the faster you get work.
Every employer wants someone who can work dependably, with
little supervision needed, and take care of their tasks in a timely manner.
Helps if you fit their culture and are pleasant to work with. Remember, you are Dealing with People.
The current resume screening system is broken. We pour resumes
into a black hole and never hear feedback (so they don’t get sued). Everyone
sits at their computers frustrated, and not improving.
Find work faster by taking different approaches on different
days. Go meet people in person, call friends, update your LinkedIn profile, go
to job fairs, find companies you are interested in working for, send out pain
letters, talk with recruiters, and Tell People
the Type of Work you are Specifically Looking for. Don’t make them guess.
Yes keep applying for jobs online, but Don’t Apply for Everything. Pick the 1-4 jobs today that use your
skills, and focus on quality responses. Then do one of the choices above. Everyday
do something different.
Getting hired is a numbers game. There are plenty of
employers looking for good people who do not have time to find them.
Approximately 75-80% of all Openings are
Not Advertised. Personally have been hired through recruiters, applying
online, and friends asking me to work with them. There is No Wrong Way to find a job.
