If you’re making a list and checkin’ it twice… don’t forget about a gift for YOU too. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice… we have multiple top-level career positions available to treat yourself with as 2017 closes out.
Often times the myth is that job searching and hiring slows down during the Holiday season. But in many ways, it really heats up as so many candidates back off their intensive search; your opportunities for gaining an interview are heightened.
What’s it take to stand out among other applicants?
Showcase your skills.
A cover letter and resume can only describe what you can do and limits showcasing your skills to potential employers. To offer an expanded view of your skillset and experience develop an online portfolio. This will give employers immediate access to see all you have done and are capable of doing.
Your portfolio then becomes a tool that helps you land the interview, instead of something you showcase at the interview.
Demonstrate your value.
In addition to an online portfolio, be sure to include supporting documentation and information about yourself and how you will solve the problems the company is facing and will bring it to the next level. What does the company need? Why are they looking to hire a candidate with your skills – consider those questions and develop supporting documentation around them.
This approach will demonstrate not only your knowledge of what the company needs but also your ability to realistically meet those needs.
Request a few LinkedIn recommendations.
Before you apply, ask a few key people to write a LinkedIn recommendation for you, and don’t be afraid to be specific: Tell the person precisely what you’d love showcased and offer specific examples. By having a few recommendations, recruiters and employers alike can gain insightful information about your performance and abilities just from a quick glance.
