This Formula Guarantees that You're the Standout Candidate
Published: Thu, 12/07/23
Hello !
You have the power to influence decision makers during the hiring process through a mathematical formula called Return On Investment.
Measure why and how you are the most logical candidate and present the dollars and cents of hiring you to overcome their
challenges.
Knowing how you provide a return on investment (ROI)
CAN MAKE YOU THE CANDIDATE OF CHOICE
for the companies and positions you pursue.
As you establish your value and impact, you're making a case for being a big part of the solution for the hiring manager and numbers speak loudly.
By connecting the dots and relaying your impact to specific financial results, you'll get more attention.
If you state your responsibility, but NOT the impact, you'll sound like the competing candidates. Below is how most will state what they've done:
"As a PRODUCT EXECUTIVE, I manage the product from inception to the launch cycle."
INSTEAD,
provide information on the financial impact you make to affect revenue and growth, as in the following example:
"When I led the PRODUCT TEAM, my scheduling, resources and negotiations allowed us to introduce the product 6 months earlier to increase our revenue generation by 25% in the first
year!"
When you relate your financial impact, then:
You're seen as a VALUABLE INVESTMENT. They need to hire you because you can affect financial growth. Your impact pays for their investment in you faster.
Prove your Value to the company and influence them why you are the right candidate.
Go to the next step and relate why you are a good investment. Let them know your ROI and the real dollars and cents. Bringing you on board will be the right decision...
Know your ROI to increase confidence and demonstrate leadership
The impact you make is why you are the best choice for the
role.
Competing candidates won't be showing their ROI. That makes you the stand-out.
