TIP FOR THE WEEK
Remember to set minimum activity and results standards for your job search daily, weekly and monthly. It's easy to get frustrated and take a day off but too often the day turns into several days. You need to view your job search as your current full time job! When you consistently achieve activity and results standards, you will enjoy a higher level of success in your job search.

America’s Got Talent

On the popular TV show, America's Got Talent, the contestants experience something similar to that of what job seekers experience during their job search. Thousands of people think they should WIN the competition but only a few even make it through the initial auditions.  Even those who end up in the final 48 can be "out" following one bad performance.  At the end of each act they are critiqued by three judges who are blunt and often critical of their performance.  Only the GREAT acts actually make the finals and there is only one WINNER.
Your job search is also a competition.  You can be screened out at any point in the interviewing process.  Often, your resume causes you to be screened out even before you have a chance to interview.  Each step in the process brings you closer to a job offer or eliminates you from contention. 

• Do you prepare better than your competition? 
• Have you signed up for a FREE resume review so our experts can guide you?
• Have you taken the new color assessment tools we just added to our Career Portal that provide tremendous insight into what jobs fit you best?
• Do you differentiate yourself from your competition?

If you answered "no" to any of these questions, login and begin to stand out from your competition :  URL: www.thrpartnerscareercenter.com

You can't keep conducting your job search the SAME WAY and expect DIFFERENT RESULTS. As your job search progresses, you have to improve and show why YOU are the best person for the opportunity.

Review your current level of success and make changes necessary so you're the "talent" that is hired!

FRUSTRATED BY NO FEEDBACK FROM RECRUITERS OR HIRING AUTHORITIES?

It can be very frustrating when you receive no feedback after you submit your resume or are interviewed.  Delays can be due to the following:

• No decision has been reached
• They had too many responses to have time to give feedback to everyone
• They do not enjoy giving bad news
• They do not want to hear job seekers get defensive when they are screened out
• Sometimes they don’t KNOW why you were screened out

It is for this reason that you need to OFFER some additional information when you make your follow up calls.  Give hiring authorities a REASON that will benefit THEM to call you back.
If you do not hear from them, don’t burn this bridge.  In 90 days you want to re-contact every person who has interviewed you (</X{(}>Not through a Recruiter).  Often the following occurs:

• The person they hired accepted a counter-offer
• The person they hired is NOT working out
• They have other positions open that match your credentials

People hire the individuals who they feel will provide them with the fastest return on their investment and who they like.  You just need to get in front of hiring authorities as often as possible until that job offer is extended to YOU!

MUST READ
One of the most effective ways to find a job is to market yourself directly to hiring authorities.  This provides you with the lowest level of competition and the greatest chance for success.  To learn how to do this, read the information under SEARCH & CONNECT, then click on Step One: MARKET and read the information under the DIRECT MARKETING tab. This is a very effective way to schedule interviews that could lead to job offers!

TIP FOR THE WEEK
How do you effectively overcome the following objection: "You’re overqualified."
This objection normally translates to one of the following:

• You are making too much money
• The employer feels you will accept their job until you find what you really want
• It appears the position being offered is a definite STEP BACK
• The hiring authority may fear that you are not flexible or open to change

If you are interested in the position AND willing to accept the salary level you need to overcome this objection.  You could ask "What would you like me to forget" in a humorous manner or stress WHY you want to take a step back at this point in your career.  Focus on what you could bring to the table and that you are looking for a long term commitment with their company.  It is also important to stress your high level of interest and your confidence in getting the job done!
