new job; specifically through your resume, so that you can land a better job offer
faster.
So you are sick and tired of your job whether it's your boss the work that
you're doing the company environments culture whatever it is you really want
to leave but the problem is you can't leave unless you have another job offer
in hand well not to worry I have a very simple plan for you that you're going to
execute on and it's only two steps step one you're going to create an attractive
compelling resume that's going to attract employers and increase their
chances of hiring you and offering you a new position and then step two is you're
going to leave easier said than done right I know I made it sound a lot
easier than it probably actually is but the truth is if you really hate your job
it's not worth it for you to stay there you've got to get out of there but if
you're gonna leave you have to leave in a positive methodical thought-out way
otherwise you're only going to regret leaving with no real job offer in hand
and that's only gonna decrease your confidence once you're unemployed and
that is not the situation that we want so in today's video I'm gonna go through
step one of that plan which is to help you create a top-notch attractive
compelling resume that's going to entice employers and increase your chances of
landing more interviews and thus job offers and as a side note these are
actually derived from my course top notch resume which if you want to learn
more information about you can click on the link in the description box at the
end of the video tip number one to create a compelling resume identify the
exact next type of job or position that you want not just the companies you
really have to ask yourself what is the title the industry the specific duties
that I would love to do in my next job you want to think this through really
carefully you don't want to just apply for any job willy nilly so that you can
run away from your current one you want to apply for a job that you're going to
actually be excited about that's something that is going to make you want
to run towards that opportunity rather than to run away from where you're at
you can look on all the job search boards
such as indeed LinkedIn if you're in Australia then seek calm basically
Google the heck out of the internet and look up all the different types of
opportunities that are available to you that you are truly interested in and
figure out what are the titles what are the industries what are the specific
duties and remember the key to this step is to not look at the company
specifically I get so many people who only focus on certain types of companies
that they want to get into but it makes it makes it that much harder for you to
find another position because if that company doesn't have an opportunity that
is in line with something that you're capable of doing and that you'd actually
want to do then there's no point in taking on that job and there's no point
in applying so don't so much focus on the companies focus on the roles the
titles the positions and from there if they happen to be with companies that
you'd love to work for then of course apply for them focusing on the role the
title and the responsibilities is ultimately what's going to give you
satisfaction on a day to day basis tip number two find three to five solid job
descriptions a solid job description means that it has a proper summary set
of responsibilities and requirements and education section the job descriptions
must be thorough must be well-written so you don't want to be looking at job
descriptions that are only a few phrases long those aren't going to help you to
build your brand on your resume tip number three is to read and highlight
identify the common keywords tasks and technical requirements that are common
across all the job descriptions and from there you'll be able to incorporate
these keywords into your first draft of your resume tip number four map them
using compelling phrases now what you're gonna do is you're going to take these
key words you're going to map them onto your resume by relating them to your
specific work experience or knowledge that you have related to those key words
and then you're going to develop compelling phrases and story lines on
your resume just because you hate your job doesn't mean that it doesn't serve a
purpose for you one is that obviously it pays the bills but the other is that it
gives you the opportunity to pull from tasks and responsibilities that you've
been doing that job and be able to explain that to
your next employer now if you're curious on how to make the phrase actually
compelling that's something that I teach in top-notch resume but essentially it's
all about making sure that you include your unique details and the purpose for
why you do that specific task tip number five is achievements achievements
achievements so what's an achievement anytime where you've saved money or
improved profitability or you've improved a process in your organization
and it can be quantifiably discussed that's an appropriate achievement to
include on your resume now just because you hate your job doesn't mean that the
things that you've done there are not valuable
maybe you've achieved many things in your current position yet you they've
been overlooked and that's why you want to leave your current job because you're
not being recognized for your hard work well still make use of those
achievements those efforts that you've put in and incorporate them onto your
resume and make sure that it is very clear to the future employer of what
you've done and what you're capable of and the value that you're going to bring
them so there are the five tips but honestly that's only just scratching the
surface when it comes to developing an impressive attractive compelling
