Just yesterday, a C-suite executive told me that he submitted 1,000 resumes.
RESULT?
He landed only 2 interviews.
That's .2% of the effort for a lot of
work and hope.
ARE YOU AN AVERAGE OR OUTSTANDING LEADER?
If you are 100% dependent on your resume, how can you demonstrate that you are the stand-out candidate?
Do you believe that you can "beat" the applicant tracking system so that
recruiters see your value? You cannot.
If your resume is even seen by a recruiter, are you of the opinion that they make hiring decisions? They do not.
SHOW THAT YOU ARE AN OUTSTANDING LEADER
Although It appears
easier to send in applications, you will be more effective in finding your next position by communicating your value and impact to your network.
The only way to demonstrate why a company should invest in you is by meeting with other decision makers that understand the value you bring to the table. You meet them
through networking.
AN ACT OF BRAVERY:
DOING WHAT IS NEEDED
TO
GET TO THE TABLE
There are brave moves you can take to change the landscape of depending on recruiting systems. Ask yourself if your own resistance is getting in the
way of being a resource for others and connecting to those that need your expertise.
If you are of the mindset that networking and conversations with peers is uncomfortable, then are you willing to learn how make it rewarding? Otherwise,
you are preventing yourself from having a choice in how your career develops.
You can break out of the status quo by taking a new approach. It may not be easy but it will definitely be worth it.
