EXECUTIVE JOB SEEKERS: STOP TRYING TO BE ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING AND THEN WONDERING WHY YOU’RE GETTING NOTHING

Are you clear on what you want, or just trying to be who they want??

You might believe you know how to get your next new job – after all, you did it before, so you’ll be able to do it again. But is that how it seems now??

Everyone appears to believe that right now, it’s a tough market. Really? When was it any different??

The key difference now is that it’s relatively simple to produce a document that explains what you’ve been doing. It’s also relatively easy to apply for large numbers of jobs.

However, the technology that simplifies your job searching is also matched by recruiters using technology to scrutinise applications – and it seems that doesn’t deliver the interviews you hope for.?

LET’S AGREE THEN THAT TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED VERY LITTLE.?

And it’s still critical to ensure you stand out from the crowd.

SO, YOU MUST CHANGE YOUR APPROACH TO JOB SEARCHING?

YOUR CV / RESUME – MUST SEPARATE YOU FROM THE CROWD?

It’s not enough for it to explain where you’ve been. Nobody will pay you for what you’ve done in the past. Someone else already paid you for that!?

You must explain what you can do for the future organisation. Where will you make a real difference; or make a significant impact for them??

Stop positioning yourself like a junior employee, looking for someone to give you a chance.?

Stop offering 20 different things you could do if that’s what they want – and hope they might select a few things from your list.

Stop trying to be anything and everything and wondering why you’re getting nothing?

START THINKING ABOUT WHY YOU ARE PERFECT FOR THE JOB

It’s not enough to be able to do something; it’s not enough to be prepared to learn new skills.?

You can’t rely on ‘20 years of experience in a discipline or sector’ to make you stand out. There are probably thousands of people who can say the same.?

If you can’t articulate, with any conviction, why you should be given the job, how could you even justify being shortlisted for it??

If you were recruiting for the same role, could you honestly explain why you would shortlist yourself??

WE CAN ALL DO MULTIPLE THINGS - BUT WHAT ARE YOU EXCEPTIONAL AT??

Do you want to be seen as being as good as others, or better than them?

Do you want to be seen as average? Or exceptional?

You have time now to get it right. But don’t aim for OK. Everyone else is OK – and you know you are worthy of much more than that!?

?If you think you’ve got everything right, think again. You probably haven’t.?

Professional advice and guidance can make you stand out and set your job search campaign ahead of your major competition.

If you’ve never taken professional advice on how to job search correctly, how can you expect to do it efficiently and effectively?

It’s your future. Does that matter to you??

If now isn’t the right time – when will be?
