I recently came across a LinkedIn News article by Andrew Seaman that posed the question, ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐ด๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ต๐ถ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐บ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐?
๐กThe single best piece of advice I could say to #jobseekers is to make sure they demonstrate their value offerings as they relate to the targeted role both in their messaging and resume.
๐ฃ Once they’ve hooked the decision-makers into an interview, ensure they have those narratives and key wins ready to share so the interview will go much more seamless.
โ Think about how you can convey your abilities to not only handle the tasks on the job description but also show proof through real-world, hands-on examples of cause and effect.
๐ “๐ท๐๐ข ๐ธ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐. ๐ธ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐’๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ธ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ก๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ข ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐.”
โ Think operationally and achievements.
โ Think about how you can make their life easier and how you can resolve their pain points due to the open requisition.
๐ค Boiling it down, think about your situation from the hiring manager’s POV.
๐คช He/she has to be pulled aside from their day-to-day to review resumes and fill the opening.
๐ธ An open requisition that is either costing them money or not making them money by leaving it vacant.
๐ When they find an ideal candidate, sometimes it’s more of a cultural or personality fit if they know they can train someone rather quickly.
๐ So trust that if it’s supposed to happen, it will. If not, keep looking for opportunities in this new space.
๐ถ If it’s meant to be, it will be.
What other answers can you think of? Chime in over here.
