2nd Tip

• Don’t be like anybody else/think different do different: Generally all CVs look alike. CVs are too often an exercise in self-validation. Sell yourself depends on getting noticed, standing apart, being different from everybody else.

• Tradeshows: Visit your target companies at trade shows. Industry trade shows are where companies selling to common customers present themselves.

• Always preplan your interview: Every interview call is precious, and must be meticulously preplanned and practiced. Understand the jargon of job seeking and translate that jargon into meaningful marketing clues. The jargons are: candidate, compensation, cover letter, hiring company (companies don’t hire, people do), job, job description, job expectation, job interview, job seeker, personality tests, CV, stress interview, want ads (clues about company).

7th Tip

Page 12: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Choose your target company: If you know a company for whom you would like to work, target them first. If you do not know any target companies, pick one or two or three cities or towns where you would like to live. Then get out a map and with the desired town as a center point, use a compass and draw a circle with a forty or fifty mile radius. This is the area where you will begin your job search.

8th Tip

Page 13: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Never perceive a company by your point of view: Never negatively prejudge a company or industry, assuming that the products are too technical or that the company sounds boring or that it is too big or too small. Every company has appeal to someone.

9th Tip

Page 14: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Think and study about to increase target company’s revenues: Research your target company’s competitors. See what’s been published about your company, its industry, and its competitors. Then, based on what you have learned, write an impact letter to the CEO of the company outlining 5 or 6 ways the company could be improved. A good letter will get you an interview.

10th Tip

Page 15: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Monetise yourself: The hiring organisation will only hire you if they think you can solve their problem, if you fill their need, if you are affordable, and if in solving their problem the employer will earn more from your work than the amount of money you will be paid for that work.

11th Tip

Page 16: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Think upon to create value: The cost of job includes recruitment, compensation, benefits, training, office space, tools, samples, mistakes and supervision. You must create more value than your cost. Value is created by increasing revenues, reducing costs and innovating new products and services. If the job does not create value it will ultimately disappear. If the cost for the job exceeds the economic value the job creates, the job will either be eliminated or replaced with a less expensive alternative.

12th Tip

Page 17: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Do your homework before interview: To get the interview you must demonstrate how you can benefit the company. To determine how you can benefit the company requires diligent and resourceful homework and research, as if you were the CEO of the company and were thinking that—“How can I improve this company?” How can I grow sales, increase profits, cut costs, speed up innovation?”

13th Tip

Page 18: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Show and use your skills: To get the attention of the CEO in your target company, write him/her a letter that demonstrates your ability to impact the company. Research the company exhaustively, constantly looking for areas where your skills and experience might be of benefit to them.

14th Tip

Page 19: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Small companies are better than larger ones: Look for a job where no other job seekers look. Small companies are often better places to work than large companies. Small companies’ personnel are closer to customers and therefore better value the efforts that get and keep customers than do large companies. Small companies generally offer more job security, because hiring is done less frequently, with great care and with an important need to fill.

If you are good enough to move a large company an inch, then you can move a small company a mile for which the rewards are fair.

15th Tip

Page 20: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• The hiring company must not only invest money to write and run recruitment ads, they also invest themselves into the ads. Your letter should be a mirror of the ads. The ads writer’s words should return to her. When she read your letter she will see some of herself and think, “This person seems to fit the description. This person gets it.” Your on-target response will validate the ad copy, giving the copywriter a positive return on her emotional investment in creating the ads.

16th Tip

www.sustainablesolutions.co.in

Page 21: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Send a CV-letter to the hiring company which enables you to present your experience in a non CV format. You can mix biographical and chronological information in a way not seen in standard CV styles. A CV-letter has more credibility then a CV because it is not a CV. CV-letter will stand out as different amongst the pile of standard CVs. This will give you an edge.

17th Tip

Page 22: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• In a good company there is always a job for a moneymaker, a revenue producer, a customer getter. Show them rather to tell them that you are a fish out of water.

18th Tip

www.sustainablesolutions.co.in

Page 23: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Don’t write one CV and send it to 1 or 10 or 100 companies. One size does not fit all. A common CV used for all companies is just that common. To be noticed, you need a CV that connects with the reader, for this your CV must address the hiring needs, wants and concerns of that reader. Your CV must be written and customized to reflect the needs of each separate hiring organisation.

Do your homework on all companies and write as many CVs tailored to the needs of each individual company. Create 50 different CVs for 50 different companies.

19th Tip

Page 24: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• A CV tailored to a company is better than a general CV with a tailored cover letter. In a tailored CV the bottom of your CV should be on top. The “personal” section in a typical CV is a way of humanizing and distinguishing yourself. In a general CV the “personal” section is risky.

20th Tip

www.sustainablesolutions.co.in

Page 25: Quick tips to get a job..ppts

• Believe in Yourself People will not believe you or your potential unless you

believe it yourself. Work hard before applying on all the skills required to perform in the job you are applying for and believe that you would be able to learn other skills which you are not yet aware of required to perform in the job. Show your belief by being ready for testing by employers and answer queries also say and show your willingness to learn new things by doing relevant work on your own and exhibit it when asked!
