This week I have been reviewing the top 4 strategies for finding a new career. Of all four, this strategy is definitely the most important. If we don’t take action in what we hope to accomplish, we will never achieve the results that we are looking for.
Once we’ve done a complete self-assessment, reviewed career options, and made some decisions on careers we’d like to pursue, it’s time to take some action. This consists of looking for prospective jobs and/or employers, sending out cover letters and resumes, and beginning to do some networking with people currently working in the field.
Once you send out your resume and cover letter, be sure to follow up with employers. If you are called in for an interview, take some time to research the employer’s website prior to the interview. In the interview, be prepared to ask thoughtful questions based on your research.
In this competitive job market, making a professional impression is an absolute must if you hope to get hired. This begins by sending a well developed resume and cover letter that’s targeted to the position and the employer to which you are applying.
Follow up is also important since it lets the employer know that you really are interested and it will also hopefully encourage the employer to take out your resume and review it for a second time. The interview is a time to wow the employer by doing your research and taking the time to be well prepared for questions the employer might ask as well as having some questions of your own based on your knowledge of the position and the employer.
