In grade school we learned the 3 Rs of Reading, wRriting and aRithmetic. Those were our most important lessons [ok so I’m dating myself here]. For job-hunters it is Research, Relevancy, and Resiliency that will deliver an A+ interview.
ResearchAs a job-hunter you need to research and determine:
? which are your marketable skills;
? which industries/companies you should target that use those skills;
? what are the specific needs of each company in your target market;
? who’s in a position to hire you in those companies; and
? what’s the best way to approach them?
The way you approach people will be determined by your research. We’ll talk a great deal more about research specifically in the book.
For now understand that your research will help you determine what your going to sell to whom - with YOU as the product. It may sound silly or even daughnting if you don't have any formal slaes trainging but really it's very straight forward. I can do this and so can you!
Compliments of David E Perry and Kevin Donlin. For more creative job search tactics, go to the Guerrilla Marketing for job hunters blog and download the free audio CD.
