What do you have lined up for you this week?

A sales pitch for potential clients or customers?
Meeting with investors?
Senior Management meeting?
Performance Review Meeting?
Interview with potential employer?
Promotional Interview?
Board meeting?
Status update meeting?

Whatever meeting you have coming up soonest, it's not too late to start preparing ahead of time. Put your best foot forward. Do your homework. Practice, practice, practice.

Sales pitch or meeting with clients? Communicate the cost and benefit. Dwell more on the benefits. Share testimonials or product reviews. Don't over promise, be clear on terms and conditions, show genuine interest in helping the client get the best user experience, expatiate more on after-sale support, if any.

Would you require data/numbers to back up your claims? Then find it, generate it, spool it.
Do your research, review notes, analyze data, compare information, get your facts right.

Are you making a presentation?- Use appropriate tools- PowerPoint, Visio, slideshare, etc. Ensure it is well designed and error-free, use graphics, if possible. Keep it simple but make it captivating enough to grab attention.

Would it require one-on-one meeting (online or offline)? Dress up for the occasion. Speak fluently. Look well groomed and be ready to make a lasting impression that will clinch the deal.

Have a goal-smashing week!!!

Welcome to day 6 (last day) of Job hunting tips.

Tip #6: Position Yourself

Always be prepared to maximize every opportunity.

You can position yourself by associating with people and causes that match your job interest.
- Join professional associations relevant to your career interests.
- Start a blog/vlog, write articles, share relevant info. Use your social media pages to showcase your professional expertise in your field.
-Volunteer at activities in several groups; NGOs, religious, educational or social.
- Participate in relevant discussion in (both online and offline) community of like-minded professionals.
-Attend Seminars, Workshops, Trainings, Conferences and network with people.

-Prepare and practice your ‘Elevator Pitch’ ahead of time.

“An Elevator Pitch is also known as Elevator Speech- This is a clear, brief message or “commercial” about you. It communicates who you are, what you’re looking for and how you can benefit a company or organization. It’s typically about 30 seconds, the time it takes people to ride from the top to the bottom of a building in an elevator.
(The idea behind having an elevator speech is that you are prepared to share this information with anyone, at anytime, even in an elevator.)”

In conclusion, be ready to maximize every chance to make a first great impression.
Thanks for being part of this 6-day journey. I hope these tips have been helpful ☺️☺️

Tip #5: Study Vacancy Details

Before you apply for any job vacancy, it is crucial that you understand the job responsibilities and requirements.

You need to;

• Pay close attention to the preferred and required qualifications.

• Read through the job responsibilities.

• Check for keywords.

• Ask yourself if your skills fulfil the job requirements?

While you are analyzing the job advert, please answer the following questions:

• What tools, materials or methods will be required to perform the tasks in the job?

• What are the specific duties for the position holder?

• What are the key performance indicators?

• What skills and experience are necessary to be successful on this role?

• Do I meet these requirements or do I have the potential to succeed on this job?

➡️ After your critical evaluation of the role and you consider yourself a good fit, please consider the following points:

- If the role requires that you send your CV/ Résumé or Cover Letter via an email,

• Use the right or required format.

• Cross check the recruiter's mail address.

• Your mail should have a subject:
E.g; Application: National Sales Manager (Ref #5478)- John Doe (unless you are given another instruction)

• Proofread the mail before sending and ensure that the documents are attached.

• If the attachment is large, please put in a zip file.

• Use your name as the title of any attaching documents (unless otherwise stated).
E.g;

CV- John Doe (National Sales Manager role)
Cover Letter- John Doe (National Sales Manager role)
Transcript- John Doe (National Sales Manager role)

Do not forward the mail you have sent to another recruiter and if you must do so, please edit and avoid leaving a mail trail.

Always remember your email etiquette.

However, the general rule to a successful job application process is to follow the recruiter's instructions or guidelines.
