HOW TO SELL YOURSELF WHILE JOB HUNTING

Are you hearing crickets when job hunting?

The biggest mistake when looking for opportunities is not selling yourself well to recruiters and hiring managers.

Here are 3 tactics that will help you boost your confidence:

1 Great and optimized Linkedin profile. Every recruiter uses LinkedIn for sourcing. Recruiters use LinkedIn for sourcing on quiet mode as well. It’s the hidden job market. It means that many job opportunities are never published, and recruiters use LinkedIn to find matching candidates. So your LinkedIn profile should look like a sales page. not as a Wikipedia page. Think about yourself as a product.

2 Smart CV/Resume writing. Updating your CV is not rocket science. Focus on past results. Certifications are important, but results and experience are unbeatable. Remember: you are the product, your LinkedIn profile is your sales page and your CV/Resume is your sales letter.

3 Presentation Skills. Be ready to talk about yourself, who you are, and what you do best. Ask for feedback, and learn what people close to you think about you and how you see yourself. Then it becomes easier to talk about yourself with strangers.
