Do you help people find jobs?
Here are 3 reasons most job hunters don’t get the jobs they want--and how to help them.
1). When you submit an online job application or resume, it is first read by a computer. If your application or resume does not mention the five or six skills listed in the employer’s job advertisement, the computer will likely reject your application as unqualified--because you didn’t show that you have the specific skills needed to do the work. Always match your skills to the skills needed to do the job. Mention those skills by name and give a short example of what you accomplished for each skill.
2). Instead of competing with dozens of people for every job opening you want, talk to a few friends who work in your occupation at other companies. Ask if they would give your resume and cover letter to their managers and put in a good word for you. Nine out of ten managers prefer to hire the friends of their employees. They are often hired with little competition and in half the usual time.
3). Show that you are friendly during your job interview. Know which questions the hiring manager might ask you. Develop your answers. Practice answering your questions with a friend. Mention which job skills are required to do the job. Explain your use of those skills in story fashion--problem, struggle, outcome. Always look the manager in the eye while speaking and listening. Use facial expressions and hand gestures when telling your stories. Add a touch of humor when appropriate. Smile. Hiring Managers prefer people who are friendly, prepared, and excited to be there.
