1 Craft Your Pitch

Your pitch is your professional story, and it should be compelling. Start by identifying your unique skills and experiences that align with the needs of the job market. Use Motivational Interviewing principles to listen actively to potential employers, understanding their needs before tailoring your pitch. This approach shows that you're not just looking for any job, but that you're interested in finding a role where you can truly make a difference. Articulate your value proposition clearly, focusing on how your contributions will benefit the company, and remember to maintain a confident yet humble tone.

2 Update Resume

Keeping your resume up-to-date is crucial in temporary and contract work. Highlight specific skills and experiences that are relevant to the roles you're applying for, and don't forget to include any successful projects or collaborations that demonstrate your ability to adapt and thrive in diverse work environments. Use action verbs to describe your responsibilities and achievements, and be sure to reflect any Motivational Interviewing techniques you've utilized to facilitate team success or enhance project outcomes. This will show potential employers that you're not only skilled but also a great team player.

Think about what transferable skills you have. If you lack career experience and are finding it hard to think of skills to include on your CV, then core skills are an excellent place to start. Being both highly transferable and resistant to change, their long-term value is increasingly sought-after by employers. These skills might have been picked up whilst studying, or through any hobbies you have. For example, you may have honed your critical thinking or presenting skills while at university, or your creativity and eye for detail through amateur photography. These skills are all highly transferable to many job openings and should be highlighted during the application process.

3 Network Actively

Active networking is vital. Attend industry events, join professional groups, and connect with others on professional social networks. Use these opportunities to practice Motivational Interviewing by engaging in open-ended conversations, expressing empathy, and affirming the challenges others face. This approach not only helps you understand industry trends and opportunities but also demonstrates your interpersonal skills to potential employers. Remember, every interaction is a chance to leave a positive impression and potentially open the door to new job opportunities.

Consider what to include on your CV Your CV is usually your first port of call when commencing a job hunt, and when it comes to considering what to include, the skills you possess should be a high priority. You should also be sure to separate these into technical and and core skills. If you’re unsure of the difference, technical skills tend to be industry-specific, and you might have picked them up throughout your career or through training. It’s vital to tailor your CV or cover letter to include any technical skills that you have – use the job description to match key words and phrases as closely as possible. Core skills, or ‘people skills’, on the other hand, are thought of as mindsets or behaviours that help you excel in your career.

4 Embrace Flexibility

Flexibility is a prized trait in temporary and contract work. Show potential employers that you're adaptable to various work environments and schedules. If you've previously worked in different industries or roles, highlight how these experiences have broadened your skill set and perspective. Applying Motivational Interviewing techniques here means being open to the employer's point of view and collaboratively finding a working arrangement that benefits both parties. This mindset can significantly enhance your appeal to employers looking for versatile professionals.

Support your skills with real-life examples. Hiring managers are more likely to sit up and take notice if you’re able to back up your skillsets with tangible examples. If you’ve gained a certification or qualification that’s relevant to the position, even if not directly, then make sure you mention it. If you’ve increased conversion rates at a previous company by implementing your technical skills, then it looks much better to quantify these with figures or percentages – either on the cover letter or your CV. These examples show your prospective employer that you can back up the skills you say you have, which helps them envision the value you could bring to the role.

5 Showcase Soft Skills

Soft skills are as important as technical abilities. Employers value communication, problem-solving, and teamwork. Illustrate these skills through examples of past work experiences where you've used Motivational Interviewing strategies to resolve conflicts, manage projects, or lead teams. By demonstrating these competencies, you signal to employers that you're capable of contributing positively to their organizational culture and achieving results through effective collaboration.

6 Offer Solutions

Lastly, be proactive in offering solutions. When discussing potential roles with employers, use Motivational Interviewing to uncover their underlying needs and challenges. Then, articulate how your skills can provide solutions to these issues. This approach not only shows that you're a critical thinker but also that you're invested in contributing to the company's success. By aligning your offerings with the employer's goals, you position yourself as an invaluable asset.
