Your Job Hunt Is A Sales Presentation

Don’t make any mistake about it, When you are meeting with people, you are trying to sell your self.

Sales people are always prepared, and if you are looking for a job, you are a sales person, the product is you and the customer is your potential employer.

Make a written sales presentation of what you have to offer.

Your resume and cover letters can get you interviews. A sales presentation, delivered in the interview, gets you job offers.

What should go into your presentation?

Her are Four most critical items:

1. A description of all your experience, education, and training relevant to the job you seek; this can be as simple as a color copy of your resume, extended to 2-3 compelling pages
2. Samples of your work: copies of reports you’ve written, presentations you’ve delivered, graphics you’ve designed, etc.  When I was a programmer, I used pictures of some of the systems I developed. It doesn’t matter what you do, there is some form of picture that you can use.
3. Case studies of achievements and specific results produced in each position
4. Proof of your performance: letters of recommendation from managers, clients, professors, et al; copies of awards, photos, etc.

And don’t forget some of the other things we have suggested, such as the white papers, brochures, etc.

When deciding what to include in your sales presentation, the hiring authority is to whom you are making this presentation is not interested in you but only in what you can do for him.

This presentation can be a printed and bound in a portfolio. Or you can use PowerPoint.

But make sure you create something tangible with a “thud” factor when you lay it on the table in an interview.
