How would you sell yourself as a product, using the appropriate marketing channels; just as you would for any other product?
Whether you decide to post your resume to your website, on job-search websites, on association, alumni, or other organization websites or directories, the new millennium expert will do so looking at certain times and through certain strategic means.
It’s never done in isolation. It’s a whole plan made with various indicators on what you should do and when. If you’re schooling, your aim might be to try and look for simple online gigs that you could use as experiment in your spare time. You want to make meaning out of what you’re learning. You want to make use of the knowledge you’re banking on your memory shelf.
However, the aim of knowledge testing is precious to you. That’s a sure way of building a wealth of experience in your field. You have to run a personal experiment. You have to find out how the modules you are learning at school will do in the face of prevailing circumstances you find yourself.
So now, how do you start out your testing? How do you make employers aware of the skill you have learned? Here are 7 ways a new millennium expert will intend selling themselves, and being best at it.
1. Networking
You have seen others sell products with all the energy they have. They push the idea. They do all they can to explain the finest idea to a customer— whether they are even confused themselves or not. That is almost the same energy you’ve to bring on board— forget all the “ I don’t know how to do it” charade because you have got to do this to bring food to the table.
You have sold many things. Check your selling profile. The last time you were giving a concerned fellow”7 reasons why they should choose a particular school”. That was an art of selling right there. You even try to grab the attention of friends and tell them reasons why they cannot afford to miss an upcoming party.
What’s the interest? What do you stand to gain? And if it dare fails, wosure-nould you lose a tooth? The answer is a sure no! So, just give it a try. Launch into a networking trek. Use every opportunity you have to sell yourself to others. Don’t wait until you feel that you need a job.
Networking is the backbone of a successful job search. For professional colleagues and associates, past employers, past co—workers, suppliers, neighbours, friends, and others who might know of opportunities that are right for you, selling yourself is passport to making this possible.
2. Responding to online job postings
The New Millennium Expert, schooling and working on projects that will enhance your skill is significant to having a good career. Your desire is not to sit all through school with nothing to show what you can do. The need for a project that can be done remotely is as important as the need to grabbing your degree an the end of your course.
In this way, technology has made it possible to be anywhere, and yet render quality service, sell a product, create a software or manage projects of people remotely. After all, you are paid, and you’ll move on to other projects. At Eeyra O Brands LLC, the excitement of helping learners of all types was greeted with the limitations that physical movement creates.
Meanwhile, the discovery of working with, working for and on projects whose owners are only net through an inline engagement, is one of the decent experience our clients have. This affords freedom on every side. Work is done efficiently and effectively.
This is why responding to online job postings would be one of the best decisions you’ve made, literally leading you into a realm of achieving more with less— and having the time to work on your talent, skill or passion.
It accords you a little freedom to create a space for your passion to flourish. The reason is that, most people are caught in 9—5 job weekly tussle. There is no breathing space to do anything else, and if there is, your energy is drained. Yet, making an attempt to respond to online job postings might be a step into the lifestyle you desire.
3. Posting your resume online
There are a plethora of websites you can post your resume. Most of them— for those I have checked so far, are paid. There are free ones you can dig out. What you want to look at here is the fact that it’s quick, easy, and only passive thing you can do in your search. Time is a very precious commodity on the world market, and it is used to gauge the value of people, places and events, not forgetting goods and services.
If you should post your resume online, you would only be giving the nod for the Internet to trade your name and what you stand for. If you value time, you would go in for this. You wouldn’t waste a blink! Go ahead ahead and post your resume now, and check out the surprise later.
After you post your resume online, you wait( and hope!) for some response. You should not to invest too much time, energy, or anticipation in this approach. The truth here is that, your chances of getting a job this way are slim. Nonetheless, remember that it is quick, easy, and no— or low—cost , and that’s why this route is considered convenient.
4. Targeted e-mail campaign to recruiters
If you want a job, the recruiters have it. It’s faster to have our problem solved by this simple recognition, than a wandering search. What you will keenly be looking at at, sternly, is ensuring that you look out for the “right” recruiters who have the “right” jobs you’re looking for. No meanders.
Consequently, what you could do to expedite the search is to have a list of recruiters. This is where you would have to make a search and get to know those recruiters. There are many resources on the internet where you can access information about recruiters( for free), sort that information by industry ( such as teaching, sales, manufacturing, journalism), and then make a cross-reference with the position you specialize in— administration level, entry-level, technical level and the like.
This is an e-mail campaign— meaning they’ll be transmitted electronically. Aside this, they are easy and affordable to create.
5. Targeted e-mail and print resume-mailing campaigns to employers
After you have made your research and know the particular employers you want to engage, doing a targeted e-mail and print resume-mailing campaign to employers wouldn’t be a bad idea. What one would want to be careful about is being sure that they are mailing their resumes the desired employers. This is to make sure the campaign is in order.
Only be confident of the qualification, interests, job experience that is tailored to the job you’re looking for.
