Framework for your Job preparation

Hello job aspirants !

Job searching is all about preparation. Whether its having a we'll updated and maintained CV or doing research on the positions and roles that you want to fill, the key is always to stay one step ahead of everyone else.

This is why having a well structured framework for your preparation is very important. A well-structured job hunt framework not only focuses and enhances your efficiency but also prevents you from wasting time and effort pursuing leads that will go nowhere. Having a guideline for what you should and should not focus on is a perfect place to start setting out the goals of your job search.

To help you get started, here are a few things to keep in mind when starting your journey.

1: The Right kind of Research

We all know that researching the company you aspire to join is very important. But simply skimming their website and looking at their goals and public media are not going to paint an accurate picture of what they need or want. Instead, start checking their value propositions and analytic reports to understand what niches they require filling, and how you can cater to those needs.

2: Practice the S.T.A.R method

The S.T.A.R method is an elegant and simple to remember method for explaining your actions and abilities briefly. When faced with behavioral questions in an interview, the STAR method shines brightest. S.T.A.R stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result. When questioned, your answers should take the form of a description of the Situation, an analysis of the Task the situation requires to be done, the Actions you took to complete the task, and finally, the measurable Result that your actions had.

3: Your Personal Brand

While job hunting, it is important not to neglect your professional persona. Workplaces will often look into your social media on professional platforms. Having a strong and consistent personal brand contributes greatly towards promoting yourself as a trustworthy and consistent expert in your field. Having a personal brand that communicates consistently the value that you have created in the past, and advertises your expertise in your field is a very impactful way to make your job hunt more streamlined.

4: Psychological Preparation

When preparing for an interview or presenting yourself for a job opportunity, it is very important to be confident and efficient. Psychological preparation plays a big part in succeeding in interviews and in-person evaluations. Learning the most common questions and practicing their answers beforehand helps present more professional and confident answers.

With these structures in place, your job search process will be more focused and efficient, allowing you to hone the necessary skills to succeed in your next endeavour. Structuring your job search opens the door to a more streamlined experience.
