What does your marketing material say about you?
What would a potential employer think of your resume and its contents?
Every day we communicate in a variety of colourful ways both personally and professionally, however we generally give little consideration to how others receive and view our commercial value, which leads to lack of knowledge and practice on the subject of the product that is you.
If you have ever given consideration to the following practical career benchmarks, you are on the right track:
- Does my resume incorporate my next potential employers language?
- Is my personal image and general interview preparation in line with the interviewers expectations?
- Do I have a clear understanding of what interview questions mean and why they are being asked, not just how to answer them?
- Can I answer the interview questions and deliver them in a way interviewers will appreciate?
- Are my telephone techniques good enough to pass telephone screening?
- Do I have a clear understanding of how the current job market operates?
- Do I have my finger on the pulse of every possible advancement avenue?
- Will my techniques help me aquire the pay rise I want in the future?
All these questions and many more need to be answered before you can brush off the competition.
