Improves your chances of a better job
A good CV is not a complete job-search strategy.
It is the foundation.
Many professionals update their CV and LinkedIn profile, submit applications and then wait to be discovered.
When the results do not come, they assume the documents are not working.
But the missing piece may sit higher up the ALCP Job Search Strategy Pyramid.
A focused search requires clarity about the roles and companies you are targeting.
It requires research into the market, the business, its challenges and the people who may influence hiring decisions.
It requires relationships with hiring managers, insiders, former colleagues and connectors.
It also requires clear positioning, so people understand the value you bring and remember you when an opportunity appears.
Most job seekers concentrate on the bottom of the pyramid.
They keep changing the CV.
They apply for more jobs.
They wait.
The professionals gaining traction are often doing something different.
They are researching, connecting and positioning with purpose.
Tomorrow, ALCP launches its Career Positioning Readiness Score to help professionals assess whether they are genuinely ready to compete in the market.
Where are you currently spending most of your effort: your documents, your research, your relationships or your positioning?
