“Expecting to land a great opportunity with just a resume with prior job experiences is like taking a rowboat to the moon. Put the oars down. Meg’s personal branding strategy is the rocket ship that will actually get you where you want to go.”
— Chief Strategy Officer client
Does this describe you and your executive job search?
You’ve been forced into a career move . . . or you’re considering a transition . . . or you’re actually mired in a job search that’s going nowhere or moving way too slow, and …
→ You think a recruiter will easily slide you into your next gig, just the way it happened in the past.
→ You either didn’t need an executive resume and career biography to land your last job or two, or it’s been years since you updated them and your other career marketing documents.
→ You don’t realize that most recruiters and hiring decision makers now search online for people like you when vetting candidates and that without a strong, brand-solid online presence, you are probably invisible to them.
→ You’re lost when it comes to grasping the importance of personal branding and online brand identity-building — critical pieces in running a successful search campaign.
→ You’re a pretty decent face-to-face networker, but you don’t have a clue about social networking.
What you don’t know can sabotage your executive job search.
You may have found that executive job search today can be a daunting, difficult journey. It just doesn’t work the way it did even a few years ago.
With more qualified candidates often competing for fewer jobs − and the impact of the digital age − finding a good-fit job requires focus, hard work and new strategies.
Many of the executives I encounter need help understanding best practices for today’s executive job search, how to overcome their own specific job search and career challenges, and what specific steps they need to take to meet their career goals.
I’ve found that most executives dive into a search without first understanding how today’s executive job search works.
They do what intuitively seems to be the best thing:
- They hit the job boards hard, because that’s where all the jobs are, right?
- They quickly put together a generic resume that will cover all the bases, and then quickly send it out to every job board posting that even remotely looks like a good fit.
- They reach out to a few recruiters, and then sit back and wait for them to get them into a job.
- They cobble together a bare-bones LinkedIn profile with minimal content and no clear focus.
For many, that’s the extent of their job search efforts. They spend the vast majority of their time on the job boards − a job search method that yields perhaps a 20% success rate!
It’s been widely reported that about 80% of jobs are landed through networking!
But that’s not the only reason networking beats any other job search method.
An article in the Fiscal Times cites research published by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis:
“Workers who landed jobs through networking earned on average 6 percent more than those who found jobs through direct contact with employers.”
Yet most executive job seekers neglect, or under-utilize, purposeful networking, because they’re not prepared to do it well. They lack focus and can’t communicate their unique ROI.
Stop spinning your wheels. Learn about today’s executive job search best practices.
