What Would You Do To Guarantee A Quick Job Search?
Today there are two job marketplaces. One is the old-fashioned
traditional marketplace of resumes, classified ads, website
postings, agencies and recruiters, interviews and rejection
letters.
The other is the hot fast-track job search marketplace of career
partners, contact banks, automated interviews, professional
introductions, interactive dialogs, on-the-spot employment
creation and savvy negotiations.
You see, the 21st Century job market has changed a lot. The
old-fashioned ways of job hunting mean that you could be looking
for a job for months. Besides, expectations of both employers
and job-seekers have moved in decidedly new directions. For
example, employers expect job-seekers to know and understand
corporate goals. They want prospects to demonstrate how they can
contribute.
On the other hand, job opportunities are being created on the
spot and the candidate can be part of the creation process.
Above-average deals are the products of above average
negotiations where "dollars" is only one part of the total
package.
Most importantly, if you want to excel, if you want a superior
job with more money, if you want to select your next job rather
than settle for it, you must understand and embrace the dynamics
of today's job marketplace.
We call this new dynamic as The 10 Power Principles of Your Job
Search Success! Here they are:
1. Run your job search like an entrepreneurial business using
basic marketing strategies.
2. Identify your specific strengths, capabilities and key
transferable skills.

techniques.

. . . and you can do it in a matter of days!
