Prioritize for Qualified Match
Prior to submitting your resume needlessly to 400 job postings, take sufficient time to create a list of your inherent talents. Next, create another list documenting which of those talents you enjoy using the most. Ask yourself if what you enjoy is worthy of establishing a career or business that relies on them?
Should your answer be ‘no’, then move on to the next talent in line that you enjoy most. When you get to ‘yes’, your next step is to outline the variety of applications for your talent. In other words, how may it be used for business or career?
Third time is the charm. Your third list should document all of the possible endeavors you would like to pursue that will best utilize your talent. Now you are on your way to having a qualified list of the “what” to pursue.
The “where” you will find the next job is up to you. Job boards, recruiters, and reaching out to specific companies are all possibilities for inquiring about openings as they match your interests. If you are considering an entrepreneurship, begin researching what your communities need most in terms of all that you may have to offer.
Match Solve Match
Given you have highly qualified what you wish to explore for a career invitations for the job interview will arrive far more quickly. Research the company and its industry thoroughly prior to the interview. Consider how your talent will work favorably for the company.
Upon the start of the interview, ask the person, “You must receive so many resumes, what was it about mine that caught your attention?”
Now you will be headed for a fruitful conversation and very likely enjoy the Smooth Sale!
