Track your Progress and Work Your Strategy

11/7/2016

Comments

 
If you don't track your progress in your job search, you're dooming yourself to do twice the work for twice as long - which could be months or even years to find the right job!  Because tracking your target companies and jobs on paper allows you to do proper follow-up, and that's the core of a good job search strategy.
THE ELEMENTS OF A GOOD SEARCH STRATEGY are simple. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
  1. Assess what you have to offer the job market and get it down on paper and online (resume, linkedin, networking and interview scripts)
  2. Decide on your best next job/market area to target and customize your materials to reflect what they need.
  3. Research jobs and companies you want to target and make a list of them, on paper, in a word doc or spreadsheet - include:
    - Company name/
    - Job description/ 
    - Website/ 
    - Contact within or knowledgeable of the company/ 
    - Your contact dates for 1st contact / 1st follow up / second followup / phone interview / live interview...etc - time those no more than 3-5 business days apart.
  4. Start networking, connecting, applying online, calling contacts, following up
  5. Learn from your mistakes and successes, add notes about them to your tracking doc, and keep moving forward.
  6. When you run into hurdles or challenges, get help, to make fast improvements and speed up your success.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
And remember, WHAT GETS MEASURED GETS IMPROVED, and this is all about learning and improving your strategy as you go forward. With each connection, networking coffee meeting, and interview you're learning what works and what doesn't, and where your strengths lie - so you can refocus and become a better candidate.

With my clients we track every step of the process, look at improvement ideas, and learn from mistakes and successes to build a strategic approach that means faster results and more money! 

Need help? That's what I'm here for.
