New Career and Sales Requirements
Given I wrote HIRED! and wish to remain current on the job searching process, I did some investigation from a sales perspective.
Companies today have the leading edge as people are hungry for an income. Candidates are likely to be more motivated to say yes and do a good job, but, read the following true story to decide if they are doing a good job Selling the positions?
Several companies in the same industry required their candidates undergo vigorous training and study – at the candidate’s expense. But it gets better. One such company spelled out they expected their new hire to foot all car expense requiring extensive driving as well as parking and bridge tollls. The requriements didn’t stop there. The candidate, will be required to attend many types of networking events, once again, again at their own expense.
In other words, the job candidate would go broke long before ever making money on the job!
All sales and purchases require critical thinking.
Is there value attached to what you are buying or selling? If not how can you come to terms so that everyone is agreeable?
The point here is it is best to remain calm and reflective of your personal priorities before making an important decision such as accepting employment or a new client. “Qualify and Match” are the sales terms associated with this process. Remaining true to your personal brand and priorities will help you find the best match in either scenario.
Lastly,listen to your intuition as your subconscious usually knows the right answer. When you do, you will be headed for a smooth transition and the Smooth Sale!
