Enabling Dream Jobs

However distasteful it may appear, getting an employer to choose you over all the other applicants has parallels with a shopper choosing one brand over the other. (And just as consumers will often calculate a price-to-quality ratio before deciding, employers are also looking for value and a return on investment.) But with so much competition in the job market, one of the biggest problems candidates face is getting noticed in the first place. Here are some ways that you can use marketing techniques to add impetus to your job search and attract an employer's attention.Work out your USP To wow an employer, your application materials must make your "unique selling proposition" clear and distinct. Think about what differentiates you from others, and the value an employer will gain if they hire you. Consider adding a short statement under your name that crystallises what you do, how you do it, and the value you create.Something such as: "Book marketer, driving sales and profits through online channels"Or for a CV writer (but this isn't mine, by the way!): "Developing unique CVs that get interviews and jobs"If you're applying for different roles (or in different sectors) you'll probably need to adapt your message to different audiences. Your CVs and cover letters must be relevant and focussed on that role, company and sector. They should also be suited to the needs of your reader. Consider developing a range of formats for different situations, in addition to a full CV.The problem with many CVs is that they read as a list of what the applicant has done, but don't spell out why the employer should care. Don't just describe what you do but translate your strengths, abilities and experience into bottom-line benefits for the employer. Everything you include in your application must build up your credibility and appeal. Train yourself to do this by thinking to yourself "so what?" after each sentence. This will help you move away from phrases such as "duties included" or "responsible for" to focus on the impact of your work and your achievements – and how these are relevant to your potential employer.Use more than one marketing channel Marketing professionals adopt a number of approaches to target their customers, and you should do the same if you're trying to get an employer's attention. Word of mouth is often an effective way in, so think about how this could work for you. Perhaps you can get a direct referral from someone you know, for example. A range of online mar …

Do you have a flawed resume? I don’t mean one with avoid­able gram­mat­i­cal errors and mis­spelled words. I’m talk­ing about a resume with red flags like huge employ­ment gaps, lack of rel­e­vant expe­ri­ence, or too many short stints and unpaid intern­ships.“Today’s employ­ment envi­ron­ment is extreme­ly com­pet­i­tive – more so than at any other time in recent history,” says Greg Faher­ty, a Cer­ti­fied Pro­fes­sion­al Resume Writer (CPRW) and owner of A-perfect-resume.com. “Employ­ers are receiv­ing more resumes for every open posi­tion than ever, and they are look­ing for any rea­son to w**d out peo­ple they don’t want to interview.”It’s true; these issues can seri­ous­ly hurt your chances of land­ing a job. But don’t fret. All four resume experts I spoke with said a prob­lem­at­ic track record isn’t nec­es­sar­i­ly a deal break­er.Here’s what you can do to stay in the run­ning, even when your resume looks like bad news:Be hon­est. Don’t lie on your resume. For instance, if you’re apply­ing for a job that requires a col­lege degree and you don’t have one, don’t say you do. The employ­er might be will­ing to over­look some­thing like this if you’re oth­er­wise fully qual­i­fied and a strong con­tender. But if you’re not hon­est and the hir­ing man­ag­er finds out, you’ll prob­a­bly be writ­ten off com­plete­ly.Empha­size the pos­i­tives. Laura Smith-Proulx, an exec­u­tive resume writer and the prin­ci­pal of An Expert Resume, sug­gests adding a line or two, right at the top of your resume, that high­lights your qual­i­fi­ca­tions.The first 25% to 50% of the page is most crit­i­cal to the hir­ing man­ag­er, says Tina Nico­lai, an exec­u­tive career coach and cer­ti­fied resume writer. So high­light­ing the core attribute of your career story at the top is a great strat­e­gy. “Your goal is to moti­vate your read­er into an action to call you or email you,” she says.Address the issue. Nico­lai says you should use your cover let­ter, intro­duc­to­ry e-mail or the inter­view to speak to the issue at hand. For instance, if it has been three years since you last held a job because you took time off to raise your chil­dren—briefly explain that you left the work­force by choice. “Acknowl­edg­ing the ‘ele­phant in the room’ may help the situation,” Nico­lai says.Ann Baehr, a Cer­ti­fied Pro­fes­sion­al Resume Writer (CPRW) and pres­i­dent of Best Resumes of New York, agrees. “Bad news or red flags should never be addressed in a resume. The resume is not the pla …

Applying for a new job is never easy. One can never know for sure what the recruiters are looking for.The process starts as it always does, with the resume. It’s surprisingly difficult to look inward and create a short document that adequately represents, or even cracks the surface of, who you are. To make matters worse, you also have to find a way to make that document stand out from the hundreds of other applicants seeking the same position.If you do manage to create a successful resume and make it to the interview stage, the pressure and stress only grow stronger. Things that you normally don't even think about start to become do or die decisions. Which of your three blue ties should you wear with that shirt? Are your shoes too dressy or too casual? Of course, if you can get past all the minor details, you also have to prepare for the actual interview. You have to anticipate the questions that you’ll be asked. You have to study your major talking points. You have to make a mental list of intelligent questions that you can ask your interviewer.Think you can finally relax when the interview ends? No siree! Then there’s the debacle over how to follow up with your interviewer. Do you send an email? A hand-written letter? What are you even going to say other than 'thank you'?Wouldn't it all be so much easier if you knew exactly what recruiters are looking for? Thanks to Kelly Services, now you can. They've created a SlideShare infographic filled with feedback from hundreds of recruiters on what makes one candidate rise above the rest. Check it out for their answers and expert advice so you can be better prepared for future job applications, and be a whole lot less stressed. …
