Hey Ambitious Professionals! It's Linda Raynier of lindaraynier.com guiding you
to a career and life you'll truly enjoy. And today I'm going to walk you through
my seven steps on how to successfully land a new job especially if you haven't
had to look for a job in a while
as a career strategist I've had the honour of being able to help numerous
professionals land their dream job offers and so if this is something that
you're interested in working with me one on one I can give you details about that
at the end of this video so you haven't had to really ever look for a new job
where you haven't had to look for one in a long time and maybe the previous jobs
that you've held have all been positions that were either just handed to you out
of the blue or you were referred by someone and that easily helped you to
land that position and so now that you're actively looking for a new
position you're confused as to where to begin and how to successfully start your
job search well I can tell you that there are several things that you need
to prepare before you start sending your resume out to hundreds of job
applications here are my seven steps on how to successfully land a new job step
number one know your ideal role inside out please don't be the type of
candidate that says oh I don't know what kind of job I want I'll just apply to
anything that looks good you want to be ultra clear on the position that you
want to get into next and a good way to do that is to find three to five job
descriptions good job descriptions that describe
exactly the type of position that you're looking for that will help you to form
the basis of your applications your resume and even your interview answers
now that leads us into step number two which is to make sure that you know how
to sell yourself on paper and online and if you are having trouble in this area
then you can definitely check out my course top-notch resume which is in the
link down in the description box below or you can simply download my free ten
ultimate resume hacks cheat sheet which will help you with building your resume
step number three when applying tailor your applications when you're applying
for jobs online obviously look for the ones that are on the most prominent job
boards including LinkedIn indeed and if you're in Australia seek
calm and any other major job boards that you're familiar with but remember to
tailor your application for each position
meaning your CV your cover letter and whatnot those needs should be tailored
to the position that you're applying to step number four reach out to contacts
in and outside of your network and articulate your value now I'm not going
to go through this one in detail because I already have a video on that and it's
called how to network to get an interview and you can check out that
video in the link below step number five keep track of the positions that you
apply to in order to stay organized you never want to double apply to the same
position or forget what job you actually applied to when they call you in for
interviews keeping track simply helps you to mentally identify exactly what it
is that you've applied to what progress you've been making and what changes you
might need to make in your job search strategy if the last several
applications haven't been getting any responses step number six sell yourself
in interviews and connect with the employers you want to create an
attractive compelling top-notch resume cover letter and LinkedIn profile
the key to selling yourself in interviews successfully is knowing how
to articulate your value and experience for the position that you're applying
for in addition you want this to be a natural conversation between you and the
employer not only on a professional level but even on a personal level as
well that's what it means to have a connection with the employer without
that one-on-one connection it will be hard for the employer to feel convinced
that you're the right fit for their organization
now if you want more details on this feel free to check out all of my other
interview videos that are on my channel that help you to get a sense of how to
really connect with the employers and how to sell yourself successfully
finally step number seven is to let it flow finding a job no matter what job it
is takes time and so if you're putting yourself out there you have to realize
and recognize that it is going to take a little bit of luck the right timing and
