There is some truth in the expression, “Seek and you shall find.” Everyone and anyone from any background can apply this principle to find the next step in their career. These days just making job applications and hoping for the best is not sufficient. Employers want to employ people who can use their initiative; people that have a get up and go Think outside the box. Certainly check out the latest opportunities on our website, and apply for the jobs that most fit your personal and professional profile, but you should also think outside the box. These days the competition for jobs is quite tough, and so your aim is to set yourself apart from everyone else who’s going for the same advertised or speculative opportunities as you are. Try considering how you could approach potential employers in ways that most people wouldn't even think about.“As a recruiter, if I were looking for a job and saw that XYZ Company had a recruiter opening, I would first apply on-line for the job. Then I would look them up on LinkedIn to find the H.R. or recruiting manager, and then I would call them directly to introduce myself in order to give my 30 second pitch about me.” Like any good salesman, which is in effect what you trying to be when you are looking for a new job of any kind, he closes by asking for an interview.Softly, softlyBe aware thought that not everyone will welcome this initiative. It’s thought that 1 in every 10 recruiters will though. Like everything that concerns relationships, you have to find the right approach in order to connect with people in a way that is appropriate to them. A phone call can sometimes be perceived as being aggressive, perhaps because they are busy people.Some recruiters will prefer you to just send a cover letter and a CV; they can read all about you when it is convenient to them. However, you could also call first to chat about a particular position, write a letter and then make a follow-up call to see how interested they are in inviting you to an interview. Avoid being overly aggressive. A soft but determined approach can sometimes work best.There are a number of other ways that can help you too. You can raise your profile by writing articles in publications that discuss issues within your current or desired profession, get involved with discussions on social networks, contact and connect with people on LinkedIn and Twitter, create your own website or blog to demonstrate what you have done and what you could offer a potential employer, network at trade events and conferences, gain an industrial placement, and so on.
Whatever you decide to do, being proactive could reduce the amount of time you spend looking for a job as opposed to enjoying the fruits of life. Remember to set yourself apart, and to Proactively look for the next step in your career. By doing so it’s more likely to happen more quickly than you’d otherwise expect.
