Tips To Help You Land A Good Job In 1 Month Or Less

Hi, I guess you’re looking for a better job, for
opening this article. Or maybe you are out of
job already; I am going to show you how you
can get a quality job within a few months. I
have heard a lot of graduates complain that
there are no jobs, but this year alone I have
turned down about 5 quality jobs that wasn’t in
line with my career objective.
“Sounds like I am bluffing?”
The fact is this; what is difficult for someone,
might be so easy for another. The question
remains “Why hasn’t everyone known about
this method I know?”
It is simple. If everyone knows it, then it is no
longer a secret.
Some of the points I will raise here might be
something you might have seen or heard
before. The truth is when you don’t do things
the right way; you won’t get the right result.
Allow me to show you the 5 secrets I have
used to get various jobs that I ended up even
rejecting.
1. Make your CV Engaging
The average time you can keep the attention of
a hiring manager glued to your CV is 7 seconds.
This means that he has about 7 seconds to
know exactly who you are (strength, abilities
and suitable job role).
Can your CV explain you in 7 seconds? If NO,
how can you improve it?
Here are some tips;
- Replace your objectives with a “soft skills
summary”. The hiring Manager already knows
that your objective is looking for a better job, so
why waste time and space explaining it? It is
advisable to explain some of your soft skills, as
it gives it a human feeling behind the resume.
- Create a section for core competence: If you
have between 2 – 5 years’ experience, or you
have switched various job roles, it is advisable
to list out your core competences. This will help
show the hiring manager within seconds, where
you could help or fit-in in his organization.
- Keep your Job description short, sweet, and
straight to the point. Remember to highlight
more of achievements than job functions.
In my next post, I will be writing extensively on
secrets of writing a great CV, watch-out!
2. Do your personal research – Identify your
core strength and values
You should know this even before you start
searching for various jobs. If you intend to sell
yourself to an employer, you should know
exactly who you are and the values that you
bring to the table. This will enable you know
exactly, how you can pitch your skills.
Being able to list out your core competence,
should already give you the knowledge of what
exactly should be your job role in any
organization.
3. Create Value – What is your unique selling
proposition?
It is great you have finally identified your
strength and values. The next question you
should answer is “why should anyone hire
you?”
If you can assure the police force of your ability
to catch a dreaded criminal if you are recruited
into the force, there is a 90% chance that you
will be recruited. This same thing goes to
employers.
These questions would help you;
- What exactly do you have that the company
doesn’t have?
- What do they have that you can come in and
make better and efficient?
If you can answer this question with good
research and sincerity, then you are closer to
the mark of landing yourself a better job.
4. Research and Connect – Network with
people that Matters
Now that you know what makes you stand out
in a unique industry, it is time to connect with
people in that industry. There are so many way
you can totally achieve that;
- You can attend events concerning that
industry. For questions regarding how to know
about events, I suggest Eventbrite, Nigerian
Seminar and Trainings, Facebook Events, Nigeria
Chamber of commerce, Techpoint Weekly
Events. All these will keep you abreast of
happenings, and also allow you meet people
with whom you share the same interest.
- Connect via LinkedIn. This is my favorite and it
has worked so well for me. There are lots of
works to be done even before you start
dreaming of using your LinkedIn account to
connect with influential people.
- You must have a LinkedIn profile that is in line
with your CV
- Contribute extensively in your target sector
- Proffer solutions to issues affecting your
preferred working sectors
- Take time to connect with Human Resource
Managers or personnel
- Target CEO’s, Managers, Recruitment agencies,
and connect with them. LinkedIn is not a social
network to make friends and read daily news.
- Once the connection has been set in place,
then you move straight to the number 5 tip.
5. Email Marketing – Sell yourself by mail to
book for an appointment or interview
LinkedIn gives you an ample opportunity to
access the emails of your connections. I don’t
mean sending messages to your LinkedIn
connections on LinkedIn, soliciting for jobs. It
makes you look like a loser – just stop it!
There are several ways you can go about it like
a professional. Here are some tips
- Make sure you have a good number of Top
Connections (If you don’t have, you can buy)
- Download your connections – I will make this
a topic for another day.
- Use any Email Marketing Template from top
Email marketing agencies. I do prefer This will
help you eliminate the issue of Bcc and Cc while
sending out the mails. The moment a person
notices that they received a broadcast Email,
they become disinterested immediately. So I
always use Email marketing Templates to do
that for me.
- Create a compelling cover letter as the Email
message, put links to your LinkedIn profile (If it
is professionally presentable), any other
resource that would enhance your worth, and
also attach your Resume.
- Then SEND!!!
If you know all these, you shouldn’t leave a
month outside of your job without getting
another. These are secrets that top professionals
in the industry use to move seamlessly from
one job to another. Now you know them, what
is my reward for exposing the secret?
