Bizcovering

Ask yourself what about your background and experience is going to be most valuable to a potential employer. If you are looking for a new career in a new industry, be sure that you consider highlighting and promoting different skills, experiences and accomplishments, that will be meaningful to companies in that industry. The accomplishments and skills that you point out in your resume will likely not be the same as those that are meaningful to your original industry.

There is a lot of discussion among people looking for new jobs about how to find opportunities and how to get interviews with companies they would like to work for. However, there is little corresponding conversation about how to prepare for the interview they have worked so hard to get.

One thing that one needs to realize when looking for a new job is that a successful search requires effort. You cannot wait for someone to offer you a job. And you cannot assume that simply because you answer want-ads and respond to listings on job search websites, you have done enough to assure that you will get a job as soon as you would like.

Contacting companies who you know are hiring can be an effective part of your job-hunting program. I told you that I would provide a sample letter that could be used to develop your own for this purpose.

You need to look at your resume as an introduction. It introduces you to the reader, providing enough personal information to help the reader get a general impression of you as a professional. It is an introduction, as well, to you as someone with a set of skills and accomplishments. This combination should be written to give recruiters and potential employers a “snapshot” that they can use to make a quick initial decision to talk with you.

If you promote the right skills and accomplishments in your career, then a prospective employer in any company or any industry will be see that you can bring value to their business, and contribute to the future success of their company.
