Improve Your Job Search Success and Shorten the Odds

by admin on Jun.18, 2010, under Career Search

Your job search can feel like a numbers game with the odds stacked against you. You know what I mean? You send out 300 job application letters and get maybe six invitations to interview.

If you’re lucky, you might be rewarded with one job offer. And you are grateful, after all it’s a job. But if you don’t get that offer, you start your job search again…

You send out three hundred job application cover letters with your resume etc. etc.

What you need is to find a way to shorten the odds and that can be easier than you think.

Most people still work the numbers and with the unemployment rate increasing across all economies, the competition is just getting bigger. It means more people are sending out those application letters as their main job search activity and any organization that IS hiring is becoming more overwhelmed with job seekers who are desperate.

This is where you have the opportunity to shorten the odds.

Even a small improvement in your job search skills will put you way in front of most other people in the market; if you can make small improvements in each of the key areas that really matter, you can give yourself a MASSIVE ADVANTAGE and win more job offers.

<strong>What Skills Really Matter?</strong>

<b>Understand Your Own Job Skills</b>
Transferable skills, those skills that can be utilized in numerous fields, are the key to a successful career change.

<b>Know Where You’re Going</b>
Career Planning is an important part of your career management process as it involves being totally honest with yourself about where your career is going.

<b>Practise Talking About Yourself</b>
The preparation of some self-marketing, personal �Presentation� statements can give you a real edge when it comes to your turn to talk about yourself.

<b>Write A Resume That Works</b>
To write a resume from scratch when facing a blank page can be very scary, but please don’t let that put you off. Basic resume writing is quite easy if you approach it methodically and use information freely available to you.

<b>Learn Cover Letter Writing Skills</b>
Including a cover letter with your resume is not a plus anymore, it’s a must.

<b>Prepare Answers To Top Interview Questions</b>
Although interview preparation is everything, as many as half of all interviewers you�re going to meet will be unprepared or incompetent. You can take charge if you prepare well.

<b>Learn How To Find Unadvertised Jobs FAST</b>
Lots of people will tell you not to waste your time trying for a new job if there are no advertised jobs; yet I say the opposite.� The truth of the matter is that thousands of jobs are being filled every day, people are being hired, all the time without any job being ever advertised!

<b>Do Things Differently</b>
If you are finding things difficult at present, then YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY! As the saying goes: “if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.� Or perhaps even more pointedly: “IF YOU ALWAYS DO WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE DOES, YOU’LL PROBABLY END UP BEING DISAPPOINTED”.

The differences that you create, however small, in lots of important areas will mean a major and distinct advantage to your success rate and oyur job search success will respond to shorter odds!
