AMYNS 2024 GUIDE TO GETTING A JOB

AMYN'S 2024 GUIDE TO GETTING A JOB!

Situation Overview - The most important commodity today is time!  Your window of opportunity is barely 3 seconds.

Why? – The average recruiter that sits on the front line of any company or organization in the Human Resources department is extremely overwhelmed by the volume of applicants that flood their individual inbox. That’s it!

No need for reasons! This a fact!

The Solution – Every blog endlessly rambles on about the problem. Let’s be to the point & positive and focus on the solution.

I have laid out some pointers that I feel could add value to any person looking for any kind of employment today, & that too at any stage of their life!  Perhaps a few fresh graduates might find some of this information valuable.

Be different!  Most people that apply for jobs use a hard sell push approach by trying too hard to embellish their past achievements. Nobody needs that!

I suggest using a ‘to the point’ approach!

Have two documents ready, the first is a ONE PAGE ONLY brief RESUME. That’s it! – Rather than elaborate on how a format should be I have provided my own format (here below) that seems to be very effective in getting the attention of Recruiters, Head Hunters & even Corporate Profilers looking for consultant for their clients.

The SECOND document should be a detailed to the CURRICULUM VITAE – I will not display my own CV here for the following reasons

• I am not selling ME
• You know yourself best so only you can write specifics about yourself
• You need to do this in your own style because if called for an interview and you cannot walk the talk you had written about you in your CV – well that will be very ugly!

In this SECOND document CURRICULUM VITAE ensure you focus on how you can add value to the employer in that job advertised and then YES by all means quote examples of past achievements that they may verify (and they will because if they have come so far and invested so much time - they will want to not waste any more)

Please ensure that you are brief in your details and that, your CURRICULUM VITAE does not extend beyond two and a half A4 sized pages.

Also, do not oversell yourself and make sure you keep some information within you  and don’t write it all down because when you get an interview call you can add more from the information you did not share and increase your own instant value & stand out from other applicants.

 Everyone knows how to make an initial impact in their own style, & everyone sells themselves, be different be honest, be into the employer and engage in a dialog, I assure you that your interview time will be far more than what is allocated to the average candidate.

Ok! Let’s stop one minute! – (Go back to before step one!) 

Dear Jobseekers understand this (common sense) Today is the day of technology, I told you that the most precious commodity today is Time but now I will tell you that most precious commodity that you buy & traded is NOT crypto – it is information (data mining)

So basically, when you copy one million HR company email addresses and start emailing all of them with Dear HR Manager, I am so desperate for a job but really very lazy to see if is a job that I can actually do or am qualified – you go on a list & now I presume common sense kicks in here! (Back-end algorithms)

When applying to any company – read the entire job post – make sure you apply to the specific job and make your application specific – make your subject line different and something that job needs – if you take the time to invest in selling only yourself to a potential recruiter or employer you will get the same form of professional respect in return & I assure you of that.

That’s it!  I can only guide you how to get your foot in the door and help you get in the room, how long you stay in that room is your own doing!

Understand these brutal realities I have presented here, BEFORE you venture out on a job-hunting crusade.

1.    There is no vertical fiscal growth, only a horizontal shifting of INCREASING circular global debt

2.       The words economies are NOT in growth mode they are all in survival mode

3.       There are massive shifts in all the for-ex markets & trade platforms across the globe

4.       Irrespective of what white veil of denial we shroud it with – Global inflation is at a RAPIDLY RISING ridiculously high rate

5.       Today there are more fresh college graduates that are doctors resorting to street crimes due to unemployment only to survive and fed their families

I am NOT trying to scare you!  This is a brutal situation update reality check!

So, if you have a job, then my suggestion is please be honest to yourself and only your job NOT your employer boss or manager.

If it comes to cutting workforce – if you demonstrate you can add value – you are safe – so forget anything toxic – only focus on the job description and terms of employment in your employment contract & that’s it!  That is all any employer wants!  Efficiency! It helps control the cost of goods sold today!

Stay Blessed & Good Luck!
