There are no rules in job search
There are no rules in a job search. Great manipulators and spruikers often get the job offers!
Too often, the most qualified candidates miss out because they are unaware of how to conduct a successful job search. People may be highly skilled in their profession/trade, but that does not make them skilled in a job search.
A job search is all about strategies, tactics and PLAYING THE GAME...you have to beat all other candidates, with "the winner takes all" always being the outcome.
Hints:
- Don't listen to your parents or friends
- The recruitment process has changed dramatically
- Networking is the best option to get around a cruel and punishing process
- Never undervalue yourself, know your worth and potential
- Let a career coach guide you through the new recruitment ecosystem
- Always have a 3-5 year career plan that is your objective
A job search is like a fifty-piece jig jaw puzzle...you have to have fifty pieces fitting perfectly to get the job you want. It is a complex and frustrating journey that most people are completely unprepared for.
