Look upon yourself as a company with a product or
service to sell. Understand your market and devise a
marketing campaign, remembering that companies hire
employees who offer them the best results and the best
value for money.
Begin by identifying your skills, qualifications, and
accomplishments. Adopt a customer-focussed approach.
What benefits and results can you offer employers? Are
your skills marketable and up-to-date?
Employers are in the market for team-players and
problem-solvers. They want to see evidence in your CV or
resume of specific, quantifiable accomplishments.
Determine what additional skills you need to develop to
make yourself more marketable. Take advantage of all
opportunities for continuous learning and
professional development.
Successful businesses win customers by developing a
unique selling proposition. To give yourself a
competitive advantage, analyse what other employees in
your field are offering. It is not enough to emulate
them; you must strive to differentiate yourself by
offering something extra, something unique.
Try to assess yourself as objectively as possible in
order to identify your marketable features. Analyse your
performance appraisals and, if possible, enlist the help
of a trusted friend or colleague to help you evaluate
yourself.
Define and prioritise your short-term and long-term
career goals.
Study recruitment websites and the appointments pages of
newspapers to familiarise yourself with the current
requirements of employers.
Your CV/resume should be fine-tuned regularly and kept
up-to-date to enable you to make a swift and targeted
response to any suitable job opportunity that arises.
Learn all you can about job search strategies,
job-specific resumes, and professional interview
techniques.
By adopting a planned and proactive approach, you will
maximise your chances of landing the job that best fits
your skills and personality, and increase the likelihood
of achieving your long-term career goals.
