to a career and life you'll truly enjoy. And today I'm going to walk you through

my seven steps on how to successfully land a new job especially if you haven't

had to look for a job in a while

as a career strategist I've had the honour of being able to help numerous

professionals land their dream job offers and so if this is something that

you're interested in working with me one on one I can give you details about that

at the end of this video so you haven't had to really ever look for a new job

where you haven't had to look for one in a long time and maybe the previous jobs

that you've held have all been positions that were either just handed to you out

of the blue or you were referred by someone and that easily helped you to

land that position and so now that you're actively looking for a new

position you're confused as to where to begin and how to successfully start your

job search well I can tell you that there are several things that you need

to prepare before you start sending your resume out to hundreds of job

applications here are my seven steps on how to successfully land a new job step

number one know your ideal role inside out please don't be the type of

candidate that says oh I don't know what kind of job I want I'll just apply to

anything that looks good you want to be ultra clear on the position that you

want to get into next and a good way to do that is to find three to five job

descriptions good job descriptions that describe

exactly the type of position that you're looking for that will help you to form

the basis of your applications your resume and even your interview answers

now that leads us into step number two which is to make sure that you know how

to sell yourself on paper and online and if you are having trouble in this area

then you can definitely check out my course top-notch resume which is in the

link down in the description box below or you can simply download my free ten

ultimate resume hacks cheat sheet which will help you with building your resume

step number three when applying tailor your applications when you're applying

for jobs online obviously look for the ones that are on the most prominent job

boards including LinkedIn indeed and if you're in Australia seek

calm and any other major job boards that you're familiar with but remember to

tailor your application for each position

meaning your CV your cover letter and whatnot those needs should be tailored

to the position that you're applying to step number four reach out to contacts

in and outside of your network and articulate your value now I'm not going

to go through this one in detail because I already have a video on that and it's

called how to network to get an interview and you can check out that

video in the link below step number five keep track of the positions that you

apply to in order to stay organized you never want to double apply to the same

position or forget what job you actually applied to when they call you in for

interviews keeping track simply helps you to mentally identify exactly what it

is that you've applied to what progress you've been making and what changes you

might need to make in your job search strategy if the last several

applications haven't been getting any responses step number six sell yourself

in interviews and connect with the employers you want to create an

attractive compelling top-notch resume cover letter and LinkedIn profile

the key to selling yourself in interviews successfully is knowing how

to articulate your value and experience for the position that you're applying

for in addition you want this to be a natural conversation between you and the

employer not only on a professional level but even on a personal level as

well that's what it means to have a connection with the employer without

that one-on-one connection it will be hard for the employer to feel convinced

that you're the right fit for their organization

now if you want more details on this feel free to check out all of my other

interview videos that are on my channel that help you to get a sense of how to

really connect with the employers and how to sell yourself successfully

finally step number seven is to let it flow finding a job no matter what job it

is takes time and so if you're putting yourself out there you have to realize

and recognize that it is going to take a little bit of luck the right timing and

all of the steps that I just outlined for you to be able to find a job offer

that is fulfilling and the right one for you so there you have it my seven steps
