WAIT. Work sucks for you too?
Probably! At least 67% of Americans are not happy with their jobs. The Gallup World Poll says it's as high as 85%.
You've got two choices: A) meet at the bar, or B) get a career coach! Yet most people naively believe “I just need a résumé.”
The best résumé, sent to the perfect company, with a fabulous fit… may not make it to the hiring manager! That is where LinkedIn and coaching can get you through the door.
Seriously, You've Got SECONDS
I wrote an article, Get or Lose a Job: Just 6 Seconds!
In it, I suggested the following Job Strategy:
Profile... résumé... interview!
- The first step is to get an awesome profile that has enough key search terms but also gets them interested. It says, "Hey! Look at the STORY of all I have done!" It is not meant to have all résumé content but should get them wanting to see it. Some of it could even be in the first person, telling your S.T.A.R. story that they can relate to. Focus on the compelling reasons they should look into YOU - how you stand out. (This used to be handled with the cover letter - but nobody looks at those anymore.)
- Then, the purpose of a résumé is to get you matched and in for an interview. Chronologically, list your relevant achievements and top skills - not your life or career history. This is the "WHAT I can do for YOU". Still not HOW...
- Finally, the interview is where you explain your achievements, skills and discuss your fit in the organization. This is "HOW I did it... and how I will do the same for YOU".
Of course, there's a lot more to it than this. And, notice, I didn't say you need the résumé first and foremost. Most people get this job search strategy wrong and then find themselves wondering why work AND the job search sucks.

7 年Am I the only one that does not hate their job? I love it. There may be aspects about it that I can do without, but truly what in life doesn't? I am not a fan of cleaning the bathrooms ... put on some music (in your head or not) and get the job done, with a grateful heart and the next thing you the job is done. Do a little dance, make a little love and get down to night! Peace everyone peace.
