Unfortunately,
people expect to start a job search campaign without makes changes,
adjustments, and alterations when conversely, that is what it takes to
be successful. Approaching every job application process the same way
each time is like putting potassium and water together expecting it not
to combust. There are qualifications that make each process unique,
therefore, requires a unique approach. The job
search is not exact science, and each job seeker must approach each
situation differently, and understanding the requirements. Hypothesis Other
than getting a job, what are you trying to accomplish? What do you
expect to happen? My wife tells our sons, "If you aim at nothing, you
will hit it with amazing accuracy." It is not silly to write down your
expectations (salary, perks, benefits), the time frame you want to
finish (3,6,9 month search), and yes, the exact result (hired,
entrepreneur opportunities). Materials Each
job requires for you to have a personal inventory of what the job
needs. What are you missing? What do you need to get it? Is it
experience? Is it a certificate? You may possess what the company needs,
but need to find it. A successful experiment requires all of the
correct artifacts, and without it, anticipate a different outcome. Instructions How
will achieve your desired results? The plan is so clear that someone
else can do the same, and obtain results. If the plan is not getting the
desired results, then changes must occur until the goals are achieved.
Job seekers want to apply for a job using the same resume, yet, become
agitated if no one is calling back or interviews. Test Learn
from the lack of results. It is only failure if you give up. Did you
research the company? Did you call the 800 number to learn about the
company's brand? Sometimes, the results call for you to change of
conditions of the experiment. If you can't figure it out, ask feedback
from people who won't hesitate to provide honesty. Conclusion A
common mistake is to forget what was learned, and shelve everything and
everyone that helped you to achieve the desired results. Remembering
what did not work will save time during the next job search. Most
importantly, remembering the successful strategies make life easier the
next time. Mark Anthony Dyson |
