Coaching for SUCCESS - New Job Search Techniques October 21, 2008 |
Hello Why New Job Search Techniques Are Needed In This Tough Jobs MarketThanks for being a subscriber to Coaching for SUCCESS the newsletter of Your Career Change.com We bring you answers to issues you raise and information you can use immediately. This issue focuses on "Why New Job Search Techniques Are Needed In This Tough Jobs Market" and how you can easily learn the techniques and win a new job faster. The Direct Approach To Winning New Jobs Is 1000% More Effective than Speculative Letters And The ONLY Way To Succeed In The Current Tough Jobs Market The direct approach is a radically different approach and is now the only way to succeed in today's tough job market. You already know there is so much more to getting a new job or career change than waiting for the right advert to appear, because if you wait, it may never appear or somebody else may get there first before you do. However, this is how you can make things happen by applying my direct approach which involves careful research and targeting by putting together a carefully crafted direct approach sales letter. This type of letter is 10x more likely to get a response than any straight speculative letter. You know how some junk mail annoys you, but others you find interesting because it has identified your needs. THIS is what you are going to do to find a new job in The Hidden Job Market. The only way to think of this direct approach is as being a Direct Marketing Exercise to a specifically qualified target audience – it is NOT a mail-shot and certainly NOT a ‘speculative’ letter that some would have you waste your time writing. Let’s look at that more closely: Compared to a direct approach,the speculative letter or mail-shot is a waste of time, effort and possible opportunity.

So the answer to today's difficult job market predicament is this: you can no longer rely on what you thought of as being the right way to find a new job; you need to develop a new approach altogether. If you are finding things difficult at present, then YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY! As the saying goes: "if you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got. You can change your approach to job search and make it successful if you apply the new and different techniques that I have laid out for you in my book How To Find Hidden or Unadvertised Jobs. The knowledge, experience and coaching tips which I’ve given you in these pages, combined with your energy and efforts will ensure that you will be well-equipped in all the areas that matter. The differences that we have created together, however small, in lots of important areas will mean a major and distinct advantage to your success rate. So how CAN be sure of doing all that? Make sure you have the right Attitude which along with the direct approach is the key to Job Search Only use this technique when you are clear about what you want, but don't get hung up on job titles. Think carefully about what skills you possess (see the last issue of this newsletter) and where they work best. Just because you are say, a lawyer it doesn't mean you have to work in a legal environment. Your skills will include the assimilation of large amounts of information as well as client handling skills. Where else might these skills be used? Customer service? Credit Control? Tour Guide? Work out your own inherent skills, then ask your self the same question.
