Visualize the needs of the person for whom you want to work. Then fill them.
This is the most important step of all in the job-getting formula.
When you keep the employer’s needs uppermost in your mind, it effects and improves every word you write in your resume, in your cover letter, and every word you say in job and networking interviews.
The effect will be to create a resume and cover letter that is perfectly tailored to each and every company.
You will see the world differently — and for the better.
Knowing the needs of your customer is the basics of all successful marketing.
Its also the hardest habit to get. Most marketers are like most job hunters. Just like the job hunter who thinks that writing a resume is the first step, we marketers want to write the sales letter first.
Its wrong. If you focus on understanding the customers needs, you will become accustomed to every door opening for you.
When you focus on employer’s needs, you see problems that need solving in almost any business, in any city.
Every problem represents a job for you. Your action item is to demonstrate that you can solve these problems, and the jobs will be given to you, or if they do not exist they will be created for you.
Meanwhile, ordinary job hunters, people who don’t understand what it means to be a Guerrilla Job Hunter, think first of themselves and their needs.
They look for advertised openings that appeal to them – they “Click and Apply” with thousands of other people.
Do you think this approach will solve the customer’s problem?
Absolutely no.
In fact, this approach requires the employer to figure out if the person providing the resume through “Click and Apply” can solve the problem.
But if you are a Guerrilla Job Hunter, your resume and cover letter will arrive in a manner that sets it apart. It will be crafted to demonstrate that you can solve the business problem.
Who do you think will get the job? The “Click and Apply” applicant or the Guerrilla Job Hunter?
