Let me guess, you have been looking for a new job for many months now, but you have yet to seal the deal. Maybe you’ve had an interview here or there, but absolutely nothing has surfaced.
You’re starting to become discouraged…frustrated…lost…confused.
You are doing everything “right”. You’re networking, you’re on LinkedIn, you’re applying online, tweaking your résumé, tailoring your cover letter – nothing is working!
Your job search simply isn’t working.
Well, perhaps you should STOP job searching altogether.
Huh?
Yep, instead of job hunting, consider transforming your efforts into a self-marketing campaign. Much like a business would conduct a marketing campaigning to bring in new business.
After all, it’s the same concept.
You have a product (YOU), you have an intended customer (A DEPARTMENT WITHIN A COMPANY), so you need a strategic plan to show your customer why they need to make the investment in your product.
Here’s the thing…
Job searching has changed. The market has changed. Our communication methods qatar phone number library have changed. It’s a different world than 10 or even 5 years ago!
So, now, my friend…you must change.
Change your outlook on the job market, change the way you approach companies, change your entire method.
How?
Be proactive versus reactive…instead of waiting for a job posting to pop up online, go out and find the opportunities.
Find people, not jobs…make direct contact with those in a position to hire you (your future boss). They hang out at networking events, industry associations and LinkedIn and they are not as inaccessible as you may think.
