Finding all the right published openings Pt . 2

Understand how many jobs exist at your income level

The point you need to understand here is, as a general rule, there are a lot fewer jobs out there than you might think. Uncovering them… and getting considered for them… can be a major challenge. There are contributing factors. The Internet attracts millions to the same popular websites… causing 200 or 300 people to apply for the same opening. And, the “bad” little secret of the Internet is that many of the public jobs… are repeated 10 and 12 times at different websites… and listed long after the jobs are filled. That creates an illusion of far more public openings being out there than the true reality.

Making sure you have superior resumes Pt. 15

Your resumes and the important “preselling” role

People face immense competition at every stage of their search. This competition will not only affect your ability to get your credentials viewed… but when you are invited for an interview, there are likely to be five to ten other qualified people under consideration.

So, your resumes need to be written with an eye toward reducing interview pressure… by preselling you. The ideal reaction when you meet someone should be “Paul, I was really looking forward to meeting you. I have the feeling you can really help.”
