My Psychic Job Search Predictions for 2006 and Your Career!
Your Resume Will Open Doors - You will realize the necessity of logic in your resume. Your objective will be stated in your vocational title, i.e. Staff Accountant, Physical Therapist, Electrical Engineer, not that tedious "room for advancement" speech that guarantees to put most readers into a sound state of sleep. You will no longer think merely in terms of "I do this and I do that." You will develop a keyword list in a table to describe your skill sets and will feature compelling performance highlights and achievements in addition to describing what you do.
You Will Distribute Many Resumes - You will realize the importance of unannounced and unadvertised job opportunities, and you will send print and e-resumes to companies because you feel a compatibility between what a company does, what you can do and what you want to do. You will not be concerned that they may not be expecting your arrival. You will target numerous product and service segments with your resume. You will post your resumes on numerous job boards and you will answer ads both on-line and from print sources. You will keep a consistent send-out momentum rather than waiting for response from the first batch if resumes before sending the second.
You Will Persevere During down times - When the company doesn't call immediately or the interview don't always go your way you will continue your momentum. You will not second-guess the impression you made nor will begin to question your value. You will realize that no one scores every time and they may have had no choice but to hire the boss's son. You will remember that if you hang on and continue your momentum long enough you will see results. You will never give up only to have to begin again. Failure is not an option. It isn't even necessary. Everyone gets hired.
You Will Win the Interview Competition - You will master the ability to deliver a strong message. Because you will research each company's needs and because you will then practice looking inside of yourself for specific compatible qualifications, you will learn that specifics, not generalities get hired. You will practice explaining your offerings and examples of your glory days until you have a smooth presentation. You will carry yourself with confidence but never arrogance, and you will cause the employer to realize that in order to have best team you must be the newest member.
You will benefit because all the stars are aligned for a great 2006 economy and job market. Consumer confidence is up and the stock market continues higher. I like being a psychic! Go get hired and have a happy new year!
