Old-School Job Search Tips That Arent Helping You

Old-School Job Search Tips That Arent Helping YouOld-School Job Search Tips That Arent Helping YouJob search is revolutionized now. And, yes, the revolution is being televised on your computer, smartphone, and social media platforms galore. This reality can be daunting if you havent conducted a job search in several years. But lets get away from the job search strategies you used the last time you looked for a job. And lets look at what 3 former jobseekers said on LinkedIn about what they did to get employed.Tip 1 To Throw Away Job Hunting Is A Numbers GameThat used to basically mean the more opportunities you applied for, the higher your chances of landing something decent. Thats why jobseekers tend to sink into the apply and submit cycle on the computer for weeks and months seemingly on end. But that approach no longer holds water.The numbers that fuel job search are different today. Identify the opportunity that you want, then identify a number of people who either recruit for or work for the organization, who can impact your hiring process. Reach out to them personally with a unique, specific message, and your success rates will be exponentially greater than if you just clicked some buttons on the job boards.I reached out to a contact who connected me to the hiring manager, who interviewed me the very next day. They had an offer for me the next week. So it was roughly 9 days from start to finish. This sttte is 100% remote and I am working out of my home. Mark Parsons, Sr. Partner Account Manager Life Science at SalesforceTip 2 To Throw Away Job Searching Is A Full-Time JobI understand the thinking behind this. If youre not working full-time, theres value in continuing the same routine waking at a set time every morning, getting dressed, and being productive all day. So why not be productive at the job search all day?The problem with that is good, effective job search doesnt take all day. Define a goal for yourself. Perhaps it would be to apply for 5 oppo rtunities every day Monday through Thursday. (Give yourself a mental health break Friday through Sunday.)Heres what to spend your time on identify the organizations where you want to work. Determine whether theyre advertising for a role you want. Even if theyre not, keep them on your list. Research what theyre working on right now or what they have coming up. Craft your cover letter so that it directly speaks to what you uncovered in your research, and how your particular brand of expertise would be useful to them. Customize (do not overhaul) your resume so it reflects the keywords comprising the language of that company. Rinse and repeat.I wanted to work for an organization that embraced fun and collaboration. Jewel showed me how to go online and research organizations, and how to see what their culture was like. During the interview, a senior leader said she thought I would be a great fit. They made me an offer and thats the one I accepted. Pamela Henry, Director, Employee Succes s & Development at eMoney AdvisorTip 3 To Throw Away If Im The Most Qualified Candidate, Ill Get The JobNo. No. 1,000 times no. That may have been in the case in the past, but with age discrimination running rampant, you simply cannot rely solely on your qualifications to get you in today.Every candidate the employer invites for an interview likely meets the basic qualifications. Beyond that, its a matter of the employer whittling things down to a short list, then evaluating who brings that extra flavor only the employer knows what it is exactly, and the employer may not even be able to articulate it.Heres how to make sure you showcase your best self approach your interview like a date (in non-stalker-like fashion.) When you have a date youre trying to make a connection with the person. Apply that approach here. You did your company research great. But dont overlook the research about the individual person. You can look at all their social media, Google their name, and perhaps com e across an article they wrote or an award they won, and figure out how that resonates with you in a way you an talk about smoothly.After making the individual connection, show that you care about the organization. This is where that level of research comes in. Good research doesnt necessarily come from the corporate web site the web site is history the tab can literally be entitled, Our History. Shift your focus into the now. Social media listening is all about whats happening right now. Get on Twitter and Facebook to view the corporate profiles and profiles of the employees, in order to develop your own insights.I changed my approach to the interview process. I offered insights about their market and their ideal customers, and really brought several things to their attentionI landed a job thats the perfect fit.

Understanding Your Job Offer or Current Compensation

Understanding Your Job Offer or Current CompensationUnderstanding Your Job Offer or Current CompensationCompensation is defined as the total amount of the monetary and non-monetary pay provided to an employee by an employer in return for work performed as required. Essentially, its a combination of the value of your pay, vacation, bonuses, health insurance, and any other perk you may receive, such as free lunches, free events, and parking. These components are encompassed when you define compensation. Companies base compensation on numerous factors. Some companies pay more attention to the following factors than others do but almost all companies use some form of analysis to set compensation. Market Research About the Worth of Similar Jobs Numerous companies do formal salary surveys that can help companies determine the market tarif of a job. In these salary surveys, companies report their current pay and benefits for jobs based on the job description. The survey company then com piles the data and reports it back to the participants. These findings can be extremely accurate. They provide good insight into the competitive rates employers are paying in the marketplace for the employees performing the same or similar job duties. There are also online database websites for salary information, where data is collected nationally and internationally. These sites such as Payscale.com and Salary.com provide recommended salary ranges taking into consideration factors such as the job market, the location of the job, the size of the company offering the job, and the job duties and responsibilities. Payscale.com is recommended for its accuracy in the midwest. According to PayScale.com, PayScale links individuals and businesses to the largest salary profile database in the world. Other companies look at the data that is available on the internet, from websites like Glassdoor.com. The data is notlage as accurate as that of a salary survey because they are self-reported by the employees. They are not comprehensive on all of the components of an employee compensation package either. The job descriptions these salaries are based on are not as detailed as the ones in the salary surveys. Two people with wildly different responsibilities in two different companies may have identical titles, resulting in confusion as to what the appropriate compensation really should be for the employee. It is also critical to consider local economies and company size. For instance, you will need to pay an administrative assistant to the CEO of a Fortune 100 company in New York City considerably more than the administrative assistant to the CEO of a company with 30 people in a small town in Iowa. Their job titles are identical- Administrative Assistant to the CEO- but their pay is completely different. Employee Contributions and Accomplishments You want your star employee to make more than your slacker employee, even if they have the same title. Companies recognize the difference in how much an employee contributes to the company through pay differentiation with merit increases going to their best. (But, ask yourself with some honesty, if you determine an employee is unworthy of compensation increases, why are you employing this individual?) The Availability of Employees With Like Skills in the Marketplace When only one person in the town has a particular skill and two companies need that skill, the bidding wars can start. When only one company needs a particular skill and has two people to choose from who can both do it, they dont need to pay the employee as much money. The organization with alternatives does not need to compensate the chosen employee with more than the going market rate. The Desire to Attract and Retain a Particular Employee If a company really wants a particular employee, then theyll pay more. If a company has a reputation as a horrible place to work, they may need to pay more to attract employees, for example. The Profitability of the Company or the Funds Available in a Non-Profit or Public Sector Setting Often, non-profit or public sector businesses pay less. People are willing to work for them anyway because they believe in the mission and vision of the organization. The work of the organization may be consistent with their own personal values. Or, in the case of government employment and unionized workplaces, the employees may value their job security and expected increases in an increasingly volatile world more than they value increased compensation. Some public sector jobs have low paychecks, but high benefits, such as health insurance and pensions. With compensation, you need to look at the whole picture in both the public and the private sectors. Previous Salaries Basing a salary offer on an employees previous salaries is a horrible way to determine a salary for a new employee. (And nationally, in a number of locations, it is now illegal.) But many companies look at your salary fr om your last job and increase it by a small percentage. This can result in unfair compensation and discord within the company. For example, when Bob welches making $50,000 at company A and gets a 10 percent raise to come on board, hes probably happy with his $55,000. But, when he finds out that Jane, who has the same title and responsibilities, is making $66,000 a year because she was earning $60,000 at her previous company, hell be angry. He may claim that the reason for the discrepancy is gender discrimination, and the company will be forced to prove otherwise. Compensation also includes payments such as bonuses,profit sharing, overtime pay, recognition rewards and checks, and sales commission. Compensation can also include non-monetaryperkssuch as a company-paid car, stock options in certain instances, company-paid housing, and other non-monetary, but taxable, income items. Compensation is a fascinating topic, because, face it, people have various reasons for working, but the bot tom line is that most employees work for money. It is in the best interests of an employee to try to receive more compensation. It is in the best interests of an employee to work their way up the corporate ladder to the executive level so that they can earn increasingly more money. Its not in the best interests of an employer to have disgruntled, unhappy employees who feel they are underpaid. But, offering fair market compensation with generous benefits should help the employer make his wish come true- a thriving, contributing workforce in sync with the business aims and needs.
