 To succeed in today's demanding and ever-changing work environment, you must take charge of managing your own career.
Look upon yourself as a company with a product or service to sell. Understand your market and devise a marketing campaign, remembering that companies hire employees who offer them the best results and the best value for money.
Begin by identifying your skills, qualifications, and accomplishments. Adopt a customer-focussed approach. What benefits and results can you offer employers? Are your skills marketable and up-to-date?
Employers are in the market for team-players and problem-solvers. They want to see evidence in your CV or resume of specific, quantifiable accomplishments.
Determine what additional skills you need to develop to make yourself more marketable. Take advantage of all opportunities for continuous learning and professional development.
Successful businesses win customers by developing a unique selling proposition. To give yourself a competitive advantage, analyse what other employees in your field are offering. It is not enough to emulate them; you must strive to differentiate yourself by offering something extra, something unique.
Try to assess yourself as objectively as possible in order to identify your marketable features. Analyse your performance appraisals and, if possible, enlist the help of a trusted friend or colleague to help you evaluate yourself.
Define and prioritise your short-term and long-term career goals.
Study recruitment websites and the appointments pages of newspapers to familiarise yourself with the current requirements of employers.
Your CV/resume should be fine-tuned regularly and kept up-to-date to enable you to make a swift and targeted response to any suitable job opportunity that arises.
Learn all you can about job search strategies, job-specific resumes, and professional interview techniques.
By adopting a planned and proactive approach, you will maximise your chances of landing the job that best fits your skills and personality, and increase the likelihood of achieving your long-term career goals.
