How to stand out from the crowd in your job search
Make your job search story irresistible
In today’s highly competitive job search environment, it’s vital to answer two fundamental questions:
- What sets you apart from your job search competition?
- Why should a prospective employer care?
Whether you are interviewing for a job or simply networking and
planting seeds about what you have to offer, you have to be able to
tell your story in a way that answers both of those questions. In this
free one-hour teleclass, you will discover how to tell that story in a
clear, concise and compelling way.
We will explore three essential
components of telling your story in a way that both sets you apart and
demonstrates how an employer would benefit from hiring you.
- Skill: What skills do I have to offer?
- Passion: What energizes me?
- Needs: What are the needs that the employer is trying to meet by hiring for this job?
The end goal is to be able to tell any prospective employer:
- This is why I can do this job (skills).
- This is why doing this job will energize me (passion).
- And most importantly, this is how my skills and passion address your needs.
In this teleclass you will learn:
- A methodical way to
identify your skills that gives you insight into both what your skills
are and how they relate to the big picture of what you have
accomplished.
- How to create a resource with vignettes that help you tell the
story of how you have used each of your skills and the beneficial
outcome.
- A technique for identifying the underlying characteristics of what lights you up.
- An approach to building a picture of what needs an employer is meeting when hiring for a position.
