Landing $100,000+ jobs typically takes six months. But the amount of time is less vital than what occurs in that time. In a tough job promote, the time can be extensive, but the activities, remain the same. Your objective is to rise above the competition with outstanding messaging, diligence presence and recognized expertise.
Conduct a job search review. Have you covered all the basics in the classiest way possible?
1. Does your executive summary take up the exact needs of the prospective employer?
2. Do your emails question for only one thing with a specific call to action or request?
3. Have you incorporated news feeds as a resource to find leads and connections?
4. Have you joined a volunteer group noted for attracting executives?
5. Do you have a world class elevator pitch that generates questions and supplies for your business card?
6. Do you wear a well fitted suit to all networking events and interviews?
If you are unemployed and are in job search mode, commit to it. A proper job search requires a minimum of five hours a day in networking, researching, meeting and plotting. Make a ob search budget that includes a proven Job Search Coach if you can afford it. This is no time for a Career Coach or Life Coach or a new design on your parachute. You need a job and this requires a professional approach, brilliant networking and crafting the right messages including a specific resume for each opportunity.
Job Search today is a shell game; companies are not advertising and most deplore use of job boards. Jobs are learned by networking because employers are fragile; they need to know the people they hire are part of their community in order to hedge their bets.
Amp up your networking techniques.
1. Go to diligence conferences.
2. Pay the excise to attend trade shows.
3. Blog on topics on which you are an expert.
4. Answer questions in this area strategic topics on additional peoples’ blogs.
5. If you are a $100,000+ executive, buddy up with others who are also in job search mode.
6. Impart leads, encourage one another and stay focused.
7. Talk to people who have a job like the one you want; question them to refer people to you when they are contacted in this area jobs.
8. Become a known face at networking events, don’t just go occasionally.
The name of the game is exposure, accessibility and expertise. The more people see you, see your name or hear from you with targeted links and articles, the higher the probability you will be thought of when that next $100,000+ job opens up. Don’t be a hit and run executive. Make your presence known and expected.
