Executive Job Search Secrets That Rev Up Your Job Search and Help You Secure Ideal Employment

So, how can you dramatically improve your chances of securing a wonderful new executive career despite the fact that you have already been laid off or you must transition to a new field? 1. Find the best Executive Resume Writer you can and order a professionally written executive resume, cover letters and LinkedIn professional profile from an expert (it's an investment in you with a high ROI). But, insist on an expert who takes the time for in-depth personal interviews, is a CPRW and has a proven track record of success. If you don't do this you could waste 6-18 months without invites to interviews.
2. Reconnect with your professional network, make them aware of your current situation and ask for assistance. Yes, that's right now after helping others for decades, you deserve a bit of help.
3. Politely ask for LinkedIn recommendations or recommendation letters from your former Supervisors, Board Members, best clients and key business partners. With 15-20 LinkedIn recommendations you will be the most credible candidate with plenty of independent third-party evidence so executive hiring committees feel 100% comfortable hiring you.
4. Start having business lunches to reconnect with best connections/colleagues/ideally positioned to help you colleagues because friends help each other. Who they know and can recommend you to as insiders in great organizations is even more important than who you know.
5. Practice answering the most popular interview questions until you are 100% satisfied when you listen to your answers on playback from digital recorder.
6. If your education, training and technology skills are not impressive enough to make you a leading candidate, start doing something immediately to upgrade them. Master's degrees, IT Certifications, Executive Leadership Certifications and MBAs are very common now among executive candidates. Why should you appear less attractive to executive search committees?
Here is a virtually unheard way to advance your career or transition into a new field/position. When I first wanted to advance my career and become a Mortgage Originator in Dallas Texas, I had a connection who worked in a local mortgage company at my church and he kept saying that I would be a great Mortgage Loan Officer/Mortgage Originator. I would talk with him every Sunday, but was initially reluctant to make the big leap from financial security to the 100% commission-based pay plan that was offered to Mortgage Originators. A few months later, he did recruit me to work in his office and my new career began with plenty of training.
Here is how I bridged the knowledge and experience gap to thrive and prosper as a Mortgage Loan Officer:
I had a solid connection from church who was a Partner in a local Mortgage Company. The bonds within a Church congregation tend to be tighter than most normal professional/leisure affiliations, although perhaps not as tight as those who served in the military together. Friends are always happy to help each other out because it is the Christian thing to do. Additionally, this gentleman was financially motivated since I would help him prosper once I was working for him. Thus, I highly recommend you join the most appropriate professional groups and actively participate to build your own professional network/circle of friends.
Next, once I was hired I started training and working in the mortgage banking office as an apprentice every business day from 8-5 pm. During this time, I focused on learning as much as I could about the industry because a big part of my job was to educate people on how to buy their first home, improve their credit scores or improve their finances in general. I continued to work full-time in the evenings and weekends at my old job to pay the bills and maintain a positive cash flow during this time (my new job was 100% commission). I would have chosen a safer salaried job without this continuous income from my second job. It was my second job that allowed this career advancement to happen because for me it was both a major career change and a move to 100% commission.
You will want employment where working evenings, weekends and holidays is required. In fact, many smart college students work nights, weekends and holidays to pay for their college education and graduate without student debt. I would recommend you look for a cash flow job in a restaurant (food server, bartender, host, cook, sous chef, pizza delivery driver etc.), hotel (concierge, front desk clerk, room service server, dining room server, hostess, bartender, cook), limousine company (chauffeur/driver), delivery company (UPS driver, FedEx driver, package handler, shift supervisor etc.), hospital/medical center/medical office (administrative assistant, customer service representative, collections clerk, billing clerk, medical coder and biller, EMT, technical support specialist etc.), college/university/academy (teacher’s assistant, administrative clerk, resident assistant, tutor etc.), valet parking company, home improvement store or manufacturing plant (assembler, packaging assistant, quality control inspector, production worker, technical support specialist, shift supervisor etc.).
You do not need a prestigious position at this time, so do not be afraid to get your hands dirty in your cash flow job because your main mission and primary focus will be advancing your career, learning on the job and improving your earnings long-term Monday through Friday during business hours. Yes, this definitely takes chutzpah/moxie. If it was easy to advance your career or transition into more prosperous industries and the most admired employers everyone would be doing it. The good news is this strategy is infallible and adaptable to your particular needs. If you only have 20-25 hours per week to work on your cash flow job after family and work obligations, then make it so. If you prefer to start your new career part-time (20-25 hours per week) while you keep your full-time cash flow job to pay the bills, then make it so. However, you should know that working two jobs is not that big of a challenge since you gain so much time by eliminating TV, video games, happy hour and other nonproductive leisure activities. The advantages of this strategy are obvious. It teaches you that you can make it happen and the triumphant feeling of being a winner in the game of life is well worth it.
