CAREER ADVISOR – June 13, 2014 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT It is important to consistently measure the QUALITY of your job search. Obtaining a job offer is not the only measure of the quality of your search. Another test of quality is when hiring authorities say they want you but not now. That proves you are interviewing well and with the right target. There is an element of luck in any job search. If you maintain momentum in your job search you will eventually contact the right person at the right time. In real estate you probably have heard that it’s all about location. In a job search, your success is very dependent on timing. You also become more skilled as your job search continues. You have learned by your successes as well as your failures. Hopefully, you now sound like an insider, your interview skills have improved and feedback you have received throughout your search has made you more knowledgeable. You now focus on proving that you have the experience and abilities to competently do the job being offered. The hiring authority will hire the person who will make them look good. Vocalize your level of confidence and high level of interest in working for them. These actions will continue to help improve the QUALITY of your job search.
