A New Way To Get Recruited

Today one of the major ways to get into organizations is through recruitment. Some companies do this as agents and thus extort money from people and help people get into big companies and organizations but still proceed to get some large percentage of the employee’s salaries. Examples in Nigeria are found in the banking sector where they have recruiting agents that help recruit new employee. This agent will charge the employees for various fees and still get a large percentage when the salary of the employee enters at the end of the month.

So to avoid these conditions, you as an individual must learn the escape route. Below are ways to avoid these dilemmas

Implement A New Recruitment Strategy

So many people call themselves professionals but only market themselves solely through resumes, but believe me you will do better by networking.

Resume or CV alone is not alone to market your competence, potential and abilities. Resume or CV alone I will say is a limiting tactic.

You can start a new strategy by which you connect with a lot of people, and believe me you will create multiple connections and paths for yourself. You will do better by creating multiple paths. The central goal is getting interviews. The more interviews you get the more your chances of getting your dream job.

Here are few strategies you can use to get yourself quick appointment for an interview in that your favorite company.

1. Get Leads

Getting leads is a quick way to get yourself that next job. One way to do this is to list on a sheet of paper every method you can think of that could generate leads, and then follow up every lead until you get either the interview or another lead.

Try the following ideas although some might, you will be surprised how it help you leads to the right people, because they have been put into use and worked effectively as a good way of getting leads:

1. Call people and companies you’ve always wanted to work for
2. Tell everyone you know that you’re looking for a job
3. Ask for informational interviews
4. Ask for other names
5. Field prospects from the news
6. Join a job-seeking networking group

8. Research profiles of people at companies and their progression and try to connect with them as soon as possible.

Those above are some steps to help yourself get noticed by companies and organizations. There are various other things required also to have breakthrough in a recruitment process.

Here are other recruitment strategies and requirements breakdown in simple steps:

Step 1: Qualify Yourself

To get a job you will have to qualify yourself. This is by identifying your capability and area of focus in the specific job to be outstanding and stand above others in competition with you for the job. To do this you must outline the following:

a) What you want and need from a job?

b) What you have to offer an employer.

Clarifying in your own mind what you have to offer or “Why Hire Me?” List 3 “why hire me’s” to accompany each feature you “want” and “need” from a job.

Step 2: Analyze Why You Should Be Hired

Many job seekers fail to inform potential employers of key facts about themselves, because they have not fully acknowledged their own strengths and skills. Ask friends and associates what they see as your strengths. List at least 25 reasons why an employer should hire you. This will help you more honestly and fully express yourself and improve your chances of being hired. There are no laws preventing you from asking questions and offering information about yourself that makes it safer for them to hire you. Reassure their fears by making it very safe to hire you.

Step 3: Prepare a Resume that will Secure Interviews

The real purpose of your resume is to get you interviews. If necessary, enlist professional help to develop an effective resume that summarizes the key strengths you identified in Step 2.

Step 4: Secure and sell yourself During Interviews

Before the interview, ask yourself these questions:

•                     Why am I going to this company?

•                     What kind of commitment am I willing to make to this company?

•                     Why should they hire me?

•                     Do I have the skills and experience for the position?

•                     Am I interested in this position?

•                     Do I display interest in this position through my appearance and attitude?

•                     Am I willing to take this position if it is offered?

•                     Am I willing to learn? Am I willing to change my attitude if necessary?

•                     Have I researched this company to make sure I’ll ask intelligent questions?

You must understand the importance of the above questions and give the right answers when asked to break through the interview stage. This is not the end but the goal of the interview is to be able to also answer YES to the following questions:

1.     Does the interviewer know if I am interested in the position and the company?

2.     Am I capable of handling this position? Explain in terms of your experience, skills, education, talents, attitudes, and core values.

3.     Will I stay for a reasonable length of time, and will my values and commitment align with the company’s expectations?

Remember interviewers mostly remember what they said in an interview and don’t go without asking questions. I repeat “Don’t leave the interview until you ask the interviewer question”,. You must leave the interviewer with the right mind frame by:

1.     Making it clear to the interviewer that you are interested, capable, and committed.

2.     Asking the interviewer if he/she has any further questions about your background.

3.     Expressing an interest in the position! This is very important.

The last impression you make is the one the interviewer remembers best. If you want the position, say so! This could be the one fact that sets you apart from other candidates with qualifications equal to yours.

4.     Thank the interviewer for his/her time.

After the interview send a note of thanks, emailed, handwritten or typed. Do not send a printed card, and don't’ telephone your thanks.
