#JobSearch #Friday – DO YOU POST RESUMES ONLINE – AND PRAY THE RIGHT PERSON SEES THEM?

By RecruiterGuy | May 21, 2021

This practice is common among Job Seekers. They find a job on Indeed or a company website. Then they submit their resume – Easy-Peasy, sort of.

Unfortunately, this practice rarely works. According to the Career Transition industry (tracks the metrics how professionals find a new career), only 8% of all jobs are filled by submitting a resume to an online job posting. If you are looking at investments, would you choose the investment where there is only an 8% chance of return on your investment?

Wow! Where do I get more Bang for My Career Search Buck? Would you like to invest in an opportunity to find your next career where the metrics demonstrate a 74% to 76% success rate year over year?

The EVEN Better News!

This method does not cost you any money! It only costs you time. This method simply requires that you talk with people, initially only people that you know. It is known as networking. As a Professional Recruiter, I network with candidates every day. Why? I may zero in on the perfect candidate for my client. Indeed (as a play on words), the last person that I recruited for my client was discovered as the result of networking with a contact.

You Network Almost Daily!

Many professionals complain that they do not know how to network. My response is, “You have networked your entire life. Remember as a child, when someone had something you wanted and you said, “Where d’ya get Dat?” That is networking. When you were in college, and asked friends, “Who was the best professor for a class?” – That was networking. When you moved to a new job and asked, “Where is the best place to go for lunch?” – That was networking.

Now you are investing time for your most important asset – your skills, experience, and attributes. Isn’t your career worth the effort of making only 4 networking calls per day to find a new position in 90 days worth your effort?

Consider, this one action will ensure you will succeed in creating income for you and your family. Meanwhile, you will renew acquaintances with your former co-workers, friends, and relatives – all of whom would love to assist you in your search.

You Determine Your Fate With YOUR Attitudes And Actions

Do you feel the POWER you have within you in your search for a new Career? You have total control of your actions and your attitude. Do not give that Power to a naysayer.

Networking is the best practice to find a new career! I wrote my books to duplicate my efforts to assist you in your search.

According to a newspaper review, “It is refreshing to find an author who speaks With you and not At you!” It also has the stories of people who did well – and some who did not. You may learn from both sides.

If you feel the need for professional Career Coaching, my business has 3 different packages. I work closely with Professionals in all three packages. The primary difference is the time and personal requirements.

The first package is the 2 meetings Introductory Package. The 2 meetings cover the basics of a Career Search.
The second package is the 6 month Gold Package. This package provides you with Career Search guidance and Career Coaching for your first months in your new position.
The third package is the Titanium package. Call me for details on this package because it is tailored specifically for the individual.

My Talent Attraction business model is to work with one company at a time and charge a flat monthly fee. This enables me to become part of a company’s team for short or long periods. Therefore, I know what is going on behind the curtain that candidates and authors outside of my field cannot see.
