“MARKETING YOURSELF TO YOUR NEXT JOB”

Category:

SpeakerMarty Gilbert, NSENG Founder/CEO & Job Search Coach

Description

Many job seekers think that finding their next job is all about answering as many online ads as you can. Unfortunately, that’s not a very effective strategy when you consider the 100 or 200 to 1 odds you face for most job opportunities that are advertised on websites like Indeed and LinkedIn.

Actually, a “new product launch” and a “job search” share in a great deal in common… they both require great MARKETING in order to stand out vs the competition. If people aren’t made aware of a product’s value, they won’t buy it. And the same is true of hiring companies that are looking for great candidates. That’s why 90% of the job search is all about marketing… positioning, packaging, messaging, targeting, promoting and persuading companies to realize that you are the best candidate for the job. During this presentation I’ll show you how to approach each of these critical marketing initiatives to help accelerate activity during your job search. With effective marketing, many of my coaching clients have been able to get interviews even when rejected by an Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Here are just a few of the topics that I’ll be covering:

– How to develop a personal branding statement and value proposition summary

– Accessing the “Hidden Job Market”

– The power of effective cover letters

– How to make resumes and LinkedIn profiles stand out

– Building a target marketing campaign
