Finding the right organization and role within it
Searching for a new role needs the same focus and attention that you provide to any other job: planning and execution are key. You are a company of one, and it is up to you to promote your talent – you are your own 'brand'.
How do you identify your target roles and the organizations that will be a good fit for you? How do you ensure the company's values align with your own? Dr. Dan's job search strategies will help you make informed decisions when it comes to navigating this challenge.
Networking, internet and social media, and finding the hidden job market become powerful job search tools when utilized correctly. Dr. Dan will help leverage best-in-practice techniques for planning and carrying out your job search.
Today's job economy is rapidly changing. Creating an effective, polished, and tailored resume and cover letter takes time. The job of the resume is to catch the recruiter's interest and secure you an interview; it is a marketing tool and you are the product. Packaging is important!
While you may be highly qualified, being able to properly highlight those qualifications can be a completely different challenge. Today's organizations can be heavily reliant on Applicant Tracking Systems, which pre-screen resumes based on keywords. An effective resume is an investment in you and your future.
Most of us are not comfortable speaking about ourselves and boasting about our accomplishments. Interviewing isn't something that most people do every day, and often candidates can be thrown off by unexpected questions.
Dr. Dan's interview preparation will help you avoid making common interview mistakes that can derail your chances of landing an offer. When it comes to interviewing, preparation is key. Dr. Dan's personalized interview preparation process will give you the opportunity to have your 'interview self' critiqued, so you can focus on improving areas such as content, body language, tone, eye contact, and speech patterns.
Additionally, focus will be on determining probable lines of questioning so that you are better prepared to answer with quality responses, including scenario, behavioural, and theoretical interview-style approaches.
Getting promoted in your current organization
Many professionals often don't purposefully think about their career – how they got where they are, or where they want to go. Bringing clarity to your career trajectory helps by defining what type of work you thrive in and enjoy most. Dr. Dan can help you assess your professional situation and develop concrete steps to achieve your career goals.
Standing out from the crowd is critical in today's competitive market. Can you elaborate on your value proposition? Your personal value proposition is the key to career progression because it sets you apart from internal competition and highlights what makes you unique and promotable ahead of others.
Networking is an essential piece of any career toolkit and being able to network effectively can mean the difference between career progression and career stagnation. Networking isn't about mindless socializing; it is about purposeful targeting of individuals and associations that could be helpful to you in your career.
