Success in the job search requires
effort.It's hard work - but it's not
rocket science. But doing it this way
gets results! The process that we use
takes a step-by-step approach; it uses proven marketing strategies and a bit of
sports psychology to give our clients the greatest likelihood of winning the
sort of job they are seeking.
Coaching is achieved through use of the website,
email, telephone and video-link using Skype.
If you have already identified a position that you would like to apply
for, please send me the advertisement or better still the statement of duties /
position description as soon as you decide to go ahead. The information given on these documents is
essential if we are to create a job winning rsum.
The process involves compiling a rsum/job
application that is tailored to the job that is being applied for; one that
clearly shows how you will perform in that position and one that clearly
demonstrates your motivation.;
Importantly, it should grab the employer's interest with virtually the
first line and then hold that interest through to the end. Details of how to achieve this can be found
in my book (details: see below) which is available in good bookstores around
Australia.
Thorough interview preparation is essential
and we take you through it step-by-step covering 5 important areas: research,
preparing answers to likely interview questions, preparing questions for you to
ask at the interview, reconnaissance and psyching yourself for success. We help you rehearse your prepared answers
and show you how to handle questions for which you have not prepared an
answer. Also covered are such topics as
what to wear, how to make a good first impression, how to remember and use
names, establishing a good rapport with the receptionist (something which can
be very effective in helping you win the job!) and follow-up.
The most effective way of winning a good
job in the shortest possible time is to access the hidden job market. This means finding jobs before they are
advertised through structured networking and research. We have coached hundreds of clients through
to success using this method. The method
is especially effective for those who feel they are at a disadvantage through
being too old or through injury/illness or perhaps they don't have the formal
qualifications. It can also be very
effective for parents returning to the workforce after some years raising a
family and out of paid employment.
Other aspects of the job search that may be
required include evaluating job offers, accepting or declining job offers,
negotiating the right conditions, and succeeding in the new job.
The aim is to give you the greatest probability
of winning the sort of work you want and making a successful career transition.
