3 Critical Things Employers Need To Know Before They Offer You a Job

According to Wayne Richardson of www.ResumesForLeaders.com, you can take complete charge of your job search campaign and stop relying on chance. While many executives waste months of time trying to get hired, you can be ahead of most job seekers by anticipating and skillfully answering the following three questions, before they even come up. Doing this will quickly put you above and beyond the average candidate.

* Question #1: What makes you different from other executive candidates? Many executives falsely believe that their “20 years of experience” will impress employers. The truth is, the next candidate with “22 years of experience” will have the advantage. The key is not to quantify, but to QUALIFY your career strengths. Present yourself as a distinctive, one-of-a-kind candidate that can offer more benefits than other, similarly skilled applicants. Highlight specific points that illustrate your potential. Proven Strategy: Before you start your job search, develop a no-nonsense resume with a powerful marketing message that distinguishes you from the rest. This will help you get more interviews and job offers.

* Question #2: Will hiring you be a good investment for our company? In this unpredictable job market, many companies are cautious about hiring new executives. Simply put, employers don’t want to make mistakes and hire the wrong people. You can use this knowledge to your advantage by demonstrating how you will contribute to your new employer’s BOTTOM LINE. Don’t only describe your accomplishments. Instead, propose that your intent is to make your new employer more profitable and efficient, and suggest how you will do this (give tangible examples from your career). In essence, help employers realize that hiring you will make their company more successful. Proven Strategy: Position yourself as a low-risk, high-return investment. Aim to create value (not simply to get hired!) and you will be the candidate employers put their money on.

* Question #3: How well do you deal with change? Businesses change gears many times and changes are now happening faster and faster. If you are a visionary leader who can turn challenged into benefits, you will no doubt be seen as a “hot candidate”. Whether you are seeking to work for larger or smaller companies, you need to show them that you will treat their business as your business. By sending a strong message that you are a decisive problem-solver who goes the extra mile and is not afraid of change, you will inspire confidence of any prospective employer. Proven Strategy: If your marketing message suggests that you are a practical visionary, a rainmaker and a strategist, you will get a very positive response from employers. These qualities are paramount for your success in the new job market. Happy job hunting!
