HOW TO GET A JOB IN HALF THE TIME

By Dr. Donald E. Wetmore -

When I received my degree in accounting in 1970, our graduation speaker
told us we ought to plan on three or four jobs in our careers. When my
daughter graduated from college just a few years ago, her graduation
speaker predicted that they ought to plan on three or four different
careers in their work lives.

Today, the average person changes jobs every three years. Job change is
one of the less desirable tasks we must perform in life, right up there
with a root canal, for many. Why? We don't like rejection. We don't like
to be judged. And as if we only played golf once every three years or so
we wouldn't be too good at it, so if we go through the job seeking task
every three years or so, we probably are not going to be comfortable
with our skills.

Need a career change - AnalyzeMyCareer

There are lots of resources to help in networking, sending resumes, and
interview preparation. Let's discuss here how to do all that in half the
time.

First, if you were out of work tomorrow, voluntarily or by choice, how
long would you estimate it will take you to secure your next employment?
We never know for sure, but it is important to form an educated guess so
that we know what we are up against. To find out, talk with 5-10 people
who have recently gone through the same type of job search you are about
to do. Ask them how long it took to secure their new positions. You will
quickly get a sense of an average length of time it is likely to take.
Let's assume that for your objective, in your industry, at your skill
level, and desired geography, it takes about 90 days to successfully
complete the new employment campaign. Certainly you may beat those
averages or maybe take considerably longer, but it is useful to know a
range of probability.

Next, analyze the three building blocks for getting a new job. It starts
with resumes, targeted to specific recipients. This leads to interviews
done well. Get enough good interviews completed and you will receive
offers.

Discover your real potential

Let's assume you would like to have three offers to consider. How many
interviews does it take, in your area, to get one offer? Few really
know. How do you find out? Talk with 5-10 people who have recently
secured the type of job you want and ask how many interviews they
conducted and how many offers resulted. Talk with hiring authorities for
your type of position and ask how many interviews do they typically
conduct to generate one offer. Let's assume you have ascertained that it
takes, on average, five interviews to get one job offer. If your goal is
three job offers, you need to create fifteen interviews.

How many resumes does it take, on average, to generate one interview at
your job objective level? Don't know? Most don't. How do you find out?
Ask. Who? Talk with 5-10 people who have recently secured the type of
job you want and ask how many resumes they had to send out to secure one
interview. Talk with hiring authorities for your type of position and
ask how many resumes do they typically generate for your type of job and
how many interviews do they extend? Let's assume you have ascertained
that it requires ten resumes to generate one interview. If your goal in
fifteen interviews, you need to send out 150 resumes during your
campaign.

Why go through all this? Job-hunting is a sales operation. Like good
sales people you need to know your "numbers". If you don't know your
numbers, the temptation is to "work hard", in the blind, not really
knowing how far along you truly are on the path to that new position.
And when you just don't know, it builds in stress, fatigue and fosters
discouragement.

Now having determined that it takes, on average, three months to
complete the job search campaign, knowing that you need to circulate 150
well placed resumes, you now have a monthly goal of 50 resumes or
approximately two per business day. So what's your goal tomorrow? Get
out two targeted resumes. Does that get the new job for you? No. But
when you go to bed tomorrow night, you know you have taken the right
first step on this journey. A week later, you have sent out ten resumes,
received three rejection letters, and no interviews. Are you
discouraged? No, you're on target. You're developing the quantity to get
to the quality. You understand your numbers.

So, how do you get a job in half the time? Double the daily output of
targeted resumes sent from two per day to four per day. You will
"expose" yourself in the quantity necessary in half the time and
increase the probability of getting the required quantity of interviews
and resulting job offers in significantly less time.
