But, what if you have taken these steps and still have landed that job? As an overview, let’s take a look at your interview techniques because even the very best of tools will never ensure you will land your perfect position.

You should practice your “elevator pitch”- this is what you want to arm yourself with as you prepare for your interview and it should highlight your very best accomplishments. There’s really no need to “shout it out”, just remember, first impressions are memorable- make a statement so the decision maker remembers you and offers you the position!

Tip #5: Distributions

Yesterday, we touched on job searches and distributing, so exactly what kind of distribution services are there? Well, fact is, there is a ton but you should be as selective with those services as you are with the professional you choose to create your professional career documents.

If you are thinking of having your professional career documents distributed then choose either recruiter distribution services or VC firms because resume blast services are usually “blind”- what does this mean to you? It simply means that your professional career documents will be sent out to who knows who and where and they may not even be looking for someone with your qualifications.

Along with creating your professional career documents and getting coaching if you need it, there is always the job searching that is the most frustrating. Common questions are how long has the post been available? How many people have already applied? How can I ensure that my resume with get noticed out of the hundreds of thousands of applicants? Some information will be readily available; however, the best way to ensure your resume or professional career documents gets noticed is to ensure your documents are as powerful as they can be. Alongside of that, you may just opt for a distribution service to help you with your job searches.

A transition coach helps you evaluate your current situation and helps you make the best possible decision with all factors present and get acclimated at a much faster rate. So how does this help you land your next job? Well, let’s take for instance that you are a stay at home mom and want to go back into the workforce.

These decisions impact everyone! When you have the proper tools in place so you not only get the interview but land that job, you save time and frustration and get acclimated at a much faster rate.

Chapman Services Group suggests that you only provide your references when asked; however, you should always be ready to deliver your reference dossier when asked. This could happen during interviews so be sure to have your reference dossier on hand. Side note: Never list your references on your resume.

10 Tips for your Reference Dossier: Tip 7

2011-09-27T09:50:00.002-04:00

Tip #7: Stretching the Truth

Chapman Services Group suggests that a reference NEVER stretches the truth! When giving information on your work or submitting a written reference letter that is inaccurate, the risk is, well let’s just say…it’s like a bomb waiting to explode. You want your references to state your skills and abilities accurately so elaborating will do you no justice. Side note: if you are hired for a position that you are not qualified for, this could be extremely damaging to your career so keep your statements true and never stretch the truth.

10 Tips for your Reference Dossier: Tip 6

2011-09-26T09:04:00.000-04:00

Tip #6: Recommendation Letters

Chapman Services Group suggests that you ask your references to write a letter of recommendation. While you don’t have to use all of the letters of recommendation, you can sort through to see which ones you would like to add to your reference dossier. Be sure to give enough time and don’t ask for rush recommendations- it will never pay off.
