Job Search Strategy

Job Search Strategy

Almost 2 years ago, one of our CV writers helped a client craft a great CV. In the next month, he successfully landed a few interviews. However, he came back to us unsatisfied with how his job search was going and he asked us a simple question: how do I find a good job?

Although we were a company that has helped many people with their CVs, we assumed that the job search process would be up to the client! It was at that point we decided to build a robust coaching consultation that would give clients the tools, confidence and innovative strategies to prepare, plan and launch a successful job search.

So Why Should You Consider Taking This Consultation?

There is no question we all want an edge when it comes to finding and securing the perfect job. Believe us, it’s out there and it’s waiting for you! You simply have to know where to look and sometimes that isn’t easy. This consultation will tackle areas which include: the hidden job market, managing your local job market and leveraging other untapped areas to find jobs. However, we discovered it is important to listen to you and find out other unique job search-related issues so that we can uncover new opportunities for you to build something special now and for the future.

A Simple, yet Effective Approach

In this session, we will help you start building a foundation for a fruitful search, by identifying various channels and resources that can aid you on your journey. Key questions like: Where are some unconventional places that I can find a job? Who do I know that can help me immediately? Do I have any local resources that can provide any assistance? These don’t seem like hard hitting questions, but trust us, something truly magical will start to happen when we start analyzing them and it will become clear that you can be successful in landing a great job!

Exploring Online Resources

We will look at how you can truly unlock the potential of the internet, to fully capitalize on online opportunities that you didn’t even consider such as novel ways of utilizing social media. We will observe and discuss how Facebook alongside Linkedin can play a pivotal role during the course of your job search. We will also review the pros and cons of job board sites such as Indeed and Monster as well as creating a plan to use email more effectively, devising an online brand strategy and devising simple outreach campaigns to build your online network and help you increase your chances in landing a job.

How to Develop and Leverage your Own Professional Network

Speaking of networks–one of the adages you hear when getting a job is who you know. And this is certainly true! So why is it so important to create, foster and maintain a good network of people (personal and professional)?

Consider this–between 80 to 90% of jobs are NEVER advertised, That’s a pretty big number! The reason why companies choose not to make their job vacancies public is for a host of reasons including costs. So many companies rely on a tried and tested form of filling jobs–leveraging their employees to refer talent (basically tapping into their network.) And now, if that particular employee knows you? Yes! You may have not only landed an opportunity for an interview, but a potential job just because of your strong network.

However, if you feel that you don’t have a network that can help, we will review this with you. You wouldn’t believe how many opportunities you have right under your nose and how many people that can truly help you during your job search!

So What’s the Hidden Job Market? How Can You Access It?

As the statement implies (and as we discussed above), these are jobs that aren’t advertized online or anywhere for that matter. However, this is a hot topic and we will go over the many ways of accessing it through networking, reaching out to companies and researching resources in your local area! This is a very popular subject amongst job seekers and we will provide you ample information and consultation to prepare you for it!

You Got This! But Remember, You Aren’t Alone

After taking this consultation you will be more than ready to launch a successful job search. You will know where to look and utilize what you have learned in order to start making your own innovative strategies that work for you! But maybe, just maybe, you might find yourself overwhelmed or simply need a boost during your job search. But don’t worry, one of our job search specialists will be more than happy to reconnect with you AT NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE and give you the support you need. It’s one of the many perks that Employment Success offers clients like yourself.
