The current times are witnessing very
rapidly emergent market drifts. Coupled with them, intense contests are also
there and these have led to swelled up numbers of job hunters. The job hunters
are also of two categories – one who are unemployed and two who are looking for
a job change. However, companies regard all job aspirants as simple job seekers
and deliberately or unintentionally tend to underrate them. All job hunters are
seen as people out to press their case for employment; this evidently leads to judgments
that typically reduce the adeptness and know-how of applicants.
The above makes it necessary to take
steps so that you do not project yourself as another person out to get a job
and alter the manner in which potential businesses and companies look at and
consider your profile. What should you be doing in this regard? You should
restructure your curriculum vitae as an open-minded individual and continual student
out to drive your career. The following
is recommended:
· Trail existing drifts & developments: A large majority of job seekers suffer
from a fallacy that mention of past experience in their resumes will invite
favourable attention of prospective employers. Conventionally, organisations
have been seeing courses attended and qualifications of candidates together
with their practical experience as an important consideration for recruiting
the best individuals. However, fast shrinking global markets has given birth to
an intense competition by multinational companies and which has resulted in a
severe modification in both their predilection and recruiting processes. Today, companies seek to recruit people who
possess knowledge and can apply the same to their work. The judgement to
recruit is regardless of the quantum of training courses that you may have
attended or the experience to your credit. The mandates and ultimatums of fast
altering and fast emerging markets are gradually rendering hitherto fore useful
training courses and experience as meaningless.
· Incorporate incessant learning in your curriculum
vitae: You should guard
against depicting your curriculum vitae in a thorough configuration. It is
essential that you discern prevalent knowledge inclinations and subscribe to
training courses that are relevant to your field of work. You could embark upon
them while you are out job hunting and incorporate your endeavours in your
resume. This will portray to your prospective employer that you are well-versed
with latest technology and that you are making serious efforts on your own accord
to upgrade your knowledge with progressive skills. Your image will thus be
transformed – from that of another person trying to get a job to a specialist –
and resultantly, other things being equal, you will draw favourable
consideration.
· Embrace effective career management: Till not very
long ago, if you served a company with hard work and devotion for long, you
were rewarded with better roles and greater responsibility; you thus enjoyed
inherent job security. Under such a system, career management was largely
organisational obligations. However, today, things are quite the opposite. With
increasing reliance on technological advancements and fluctuating requirements
of clients, organisations are unable to prognosticate the strength of their
human resources even six to eight months ahead. Decades of hard work and
devotion can only be imagined by you; a flood of temporary jobs have been a
fallout of altering market trends. Under such a situation, you should stay
updated with prevalent market trends and be in firm control of your career.
Hopping jobs from one organisation to another is what you should do without
reluctance but with due deliberation till such time you feel satisfied and an
optimistic result is perceived.
Your very career advancement can take a
beating if you are not in harmony with the speed of technological progress. You
must learn to become practised, skilful and proficient in your own field so
that you come to be regarded as a hard-earned and indispensable strength of the
company that you work in.
Remember that intelligence is your
ability to be flexible and change. But given the changing market trends,
ability being able to catch up with the demand for it is a difficult affair.
You should be proactive enough and be at the wheels of your career. And when
you find the ability to believe in yourself and also believe in your
capabilities, the sky will become an infinite expanse of both opportunities and
possibilities. You will be able to build a great career for yourself. And since
no one rises to small expectations, be a person of ability rather than an
ordinary job seeker.
