Unfortunately, we don't recognize the problem because we're rarely required to meet face-to-face with the person who's in competition for the job we're dying to have. Your prospective employer is not going to hand you a list of candidates you have to beat out for the job.
As a result we get complacent. Out of sight, out of mind, we think. So we're not prepared sharply enough to do battle with our job search competitors. But, believe me, they're there. And you better have a strategy or two to deal with job search competitors at the risk of losing out to them without even knowing it.
Most of us think of competition in terms of a traditional job search. That's the kind most of us have been brought up to think is the way to find a job. You know . . . prepare a resume, mass distribute it to advertised job openings, a bunch of companies, a few job sites, some agencies and recruiters. And then wait for an invitation for an interview.
If we're operating in that kind of traditional mindset, then our job search competitors are paper tigers. In other words, we think whoever has the best resume beats the competition.
That couldn't be further from the truth. Those of us who work everyday with the dynamics of the 21st Century job marketplace know that traditional, old-fashioned job search methods don't eliminate job search competitors, it produces them!
When you post your resume on a job site like Monster or Hot Jobs . . . when you answer a job opening ad or distribute your resume to a bunch of organizations or agencies . . . you're creating your competition. You're putting yourself right in the middle of everyone else who's going after that job. It could be hundreds, even thousands. You've just dramatically reduced your odds of even getting a hearing, much less a job.
The World's Fastest Alternative Job Search System points out that only way to eliminate your job search competitors is to establish a unique one-on -one relationship with a prospective employer. And do it without coming on, hand in hand, looking for a job.
Fortunately, this remarkable plan shows you exactly how to do establish that kind of non-competitive relationship. And it shows you how to do it in a matter of days. In fact, if you follow the plan carefully, you can be entertaining a job offer in as little as two weeks.
Sure takes the sting out of job search competitors!
That's because a successful job campaign requires that you translate concepts and strategies into action. It's a process of injecting what you understand into practical behaviors . . . day after day.
That's why having a job search blueprint complete with practical success strategies is so important. When you know what to expect and why in advance, the process suddenly becomes a lot smoother.
Without a carefully-thought-out job search blueprint, you wind up poking your job campaign with a stick from time to time to see if it still moves. And nothing gets done.
Or worse, you wind up taking a job because it's the only thing on your plate. And set yourself up for failure.
The solution is to have a track to run on where you anticipate and resolve issues in advance. This guarantees your success.
Your job search blueprint should also be audacious enough to assure you that you can get a new job quickly . . . not waiting weeks and moths for something to materialize.
Acquiring a high paying job fast isn't easy. You have to be willing to give up the old-fashioned ways of doing it. And discover some new strategies and techniques that will propel you to success in a short time.
So, what does a successful blueprint look like.
Well, there are 8 key components:
1. Build a personal asset bank and career profile.
2. Identify all your job and employer options without relying exclusively on your work history.
3. Prepare a bio-action resume.
4. Build a contact bank of enthusiastic career partners
5. Practice innovation interview strategies
6. Set up multiple face-to-face meetings with qualified decision-makers
7. Negotiate a comprehensive deal
8. Follow through by posting on job sites, selected emails, targeted letters, job ads, agency and recruiters, job fairs, etc.
The secret, of course, is in the details and how you complete each of these steps. But when you do, you will have accomplished your goal: a great job that both satisfies you and pays you what you deserve.
One of the reasons this job search blueprint is so successful is that it keeps you out of the competition. When you're not beating you brains out trying to figure how to get ahead of the next person, you can devote you energies and attention to powerful job search strategies that allow you to bypass all your competitors.
