| To
succeed in
the competitive times of
today, job seekers need an 8-prong plan of attack.
Many
jobseekers that we advise or coach lack even basic skills of crafting a
cover letter or a thank you note. They have rarely thought
about
the best way to describe their accomplishments in a free flowing
conversation. They have very poor listening skills. All of this comes
to a head in a job interview. With seemingly great credentials and a
well crafted resume, they float from one disastrous job interview to
another. The purpose of the single day intensive workshop is to renew a job seeker's edge in the competitive field of job search. The lessons alone are not going to be enough - you will still need to practice our tips - on family, friends and ad hoc success teams. To succeed in job search requires the same skills we take to work - an ability to work in a team, to remain upbeat and to change behavior as required. The lessons described below provide hints and tips - putting them into practice and making the new habits stick is entirely up to you. We give some suggestions in the workshop on how to become a source of inspiration to yourself, to stand for others and yourself in your dreams and goals. Incorporate some of those suggestions in your daily routine, and put yourself on a new path of success. Success won't come immediately, but if you stick with the plan for a month, refining each piece in your job search armour every day, you will change your outlook dramatically. Your self-confidence will surely grow. Who knows what possibilities that might open up for you? In summary, a polished, carefully crafted resume is no longer enough to succeed in these competitive times. Recruiters are overwhelmed with the flood of resumes. You'll have to stand out with other documents, earnest and sincere conversations and an all-around attention to detail. Follow the suggestions below on how to turbocharge your job search. Learn how to truly connect with recruiters, hiring managers and even new acquaintances. |

job search.

Connect Have
you read other people's resume or cover letter and been struck by the
tone of
sincerity? Ever read a thank you note, and emotionally connected to it?
We give you tips on how to network, dialog, write letters and email and
even hold phone conversations that enable you to connect from your
heart. Make it real. The results will astound you. People will reach

web? How can you market your services more effectively over the web? We

bookmarking sites for job seekers, and how they can get noticed in the
crowded field. Learn how to benefit from new opportunities created by web 2.0. We show you ways in which you can become visible on the most trafficked blog sites relevant to your job search, and showcase your expertise and strengths. |
Negotiation You
are always negotiating or enrolling others in your viewpoint. The truth
is 90% of the successful part of negotiation occurs prior to the
meeting - through preparation. How prepared are you when you show up
for the interview? Have you thought through the flexibility in work
hours that you may need, or your start date? Or the salary that you
deem necessary for your skill set? Have you done the gournd work to
prepare yourself? Our tips can help you gain another 20% in compensation. Learn how to forcefully, yet successfully, bring up important demands, such as flex hours, starting date, compensation, and so on. |
Manifest your Destiny We also discuss how you should stand for your greatness, and use your new commitment as a source of inspiration. If not you, then who will stand for your? How will you develop the mindset to be a humble servant to your spirit (your unlimited potential)? In the process you will become The Obvious Candidate - be it for internal promotion or an external position. It requires an understanding of your strengths, limitations, abilities and attitudes, combined with a deep sincerity and authenticity. Inspire yourself by giving to your family, community and country. In the process you will start living to your potential, your greatness. Follow the powerful lessons from life that we teach to unleash your powerful potential. Of course, the hard part of doing the work will still be up to you! |
