Good day for a “Super” focused job search!
Get that nice hot cup of Folgers (just how you like it) and BEGIN SEARCH TIPS:
1. Aim/Objective:
In order to have a good start on your job search, you must first know where you see yourself and what you see yourself doing, exactly. I.E. HR Manager (if it was me).
2. Understand the nature of HR and the functions and requirements of an HR Manager. An occupation outlook is always good to have for a basic understanding of what an HR position entails.
3. You should really conduct your job search on specialized boards; such as professional associations (i.e. SHRM for HR professionals).
4. Examine your qualifications against your occupation outlook and the opportunity requirements/job description.
5. Research the companies that are seeking to hire.
6. The RESUME – Brand or Cure it’s really based on your qualifications and the opportunity you are applying for. This is why researching the company and understanding your profession essentials and trends are vital to your ability to position your skills-sets and qualifications to meet the need.
7. BRANDING: is more for specialist in a certain area of an occupation/profession; they focus on specific areas for example (using HR) employee benefits, payroll, on-boarding/recruiting or areas of expertise where the bottom line matters and less people management happens; controls, policies and structure is the need. 8. CURE: On the other hand; is the general need (i.e. HR Managers/Supervisors where people management is more of a focus and maintaining the structure already put in place is required). There are many levels to a profession/occupation (as you may know already), Entry to executive; knowing your level, what level they are looking for and being real about your talents and delivery will drastically improve and increase your confidence, rhetoric writing skills, and job search and Interview result.
GOOD LUCK
