Instagram LogoCreating a Value Proposition⁠ ✨⁠ ⁠ Having a strong value proposition is crucial to your job search. ⁠ ⁠ Not only does it help you communicate your value verbally and through written word, it helps you answer the question “Tell me about yourself.”⁠ ⁠ What could be better than having an answer to that question that’s perfectly curated to sell yourself as the solution to the position? To make it better you end up starting your interview off strong and with confidence.⁠ ⁠ Below are the four questions you need to answer in order to build the foundation of your proposition:⁠ ⁠ 1️⃣What is your profession and background?⁠ 2️⃣What is your specialty and what makes you stand-out?⁠ 3️⃣What accomplishments do you have that would demonstrate that you are good at what you do?⁠ 4️⃣What are you looking for next on your career path?⁠ ⁠ Answer each question with one sentence and as clear as you possibly can. Form a paragraph with the answers and you now have a value proposition that you can tailor to any situation. You want to tie the answers of the questions to the position the best you can to make it easy for the hiring manager to see your strengths.⁠ ⁠ Remember this is the moment you get to sell yourself and make the employer know why you are of value to them. This proposition will set the tone for your entire interview, so speak with confidence and get ready to ace your interview.⁠ ??⁠ ⁠ Click the link in my bio if you need more help.⁠?⁠ ⁠ #passionjob #knowyourvalue #moneymaker⁠ #jobless #gobig #newjourney #seeingthepretty⁠ #reachyourgoals #keepupthegoodwork #jobhunt⁠ #hamont #haltonregion #burlont #careegrowth⁠ #quityourjob #onlinejobs #jobsearchadvice⁠ #focusonyourgoals #powerplay #womenempoweringwomen #careertransition⁠ #youcandoit #businessmoves #biztips⁠ #confidence #beyourtrueself #chooseyou⁠ #goaldigger #entrepreneuerlifestyle #bossbabe⁠
Instagram LogoWhy Are You Looking? ⁠?⁠ ⁠ One of the most dreaded questions to answer when going through interviews besides “what are your salary expectations” is “Why are you looking for a new job?”⁠?⁠ ⁠ It doesn’t matter if you have a job already, you were let go, or you recently quit your job. The question can be intimidating and often we feel as though we are being judged by our reason.⁠ ⁠ Here is a framework of sentences to help you work through answering this question.⁠ ⁠ ?What is your situation or result of the separation?⁠ ?Stay objective and put things in perspective.⁠ ?Put a positive twist.⁠ ⁠ Examples: ⁠ ⁠ ?I am exploring other opportunities for growth. I’ve been in my current position for over 5 years now. I am feeling stagnant being at the same company and this position caught my attention.⁠ ⁠ ?My company went through a reorganization. Over 1,200 staff were cut during the reorg. I can now explore opportunities with companies like yours.⁠ ⁠ ?I left to take time to reflect and look for opportunities like the one you’re offering. I’m looking for a career change. I believe my transferable skills will serve your company well.⁠ ⁠ Regardless of your situation work through the framework to create a strong answer that you can say with confidence.⁠?⁠ ⁠ Comment below the question you hate the most in an interview. ⁠??⁠ ⁠ #knowyourwhy #findyourwhy #alifeofintention⁠ #biztips #whatliftsyou #doitanyway #writeitdown⁠ #jobseekers #brandingtips #youcandoit #careerhelp⁠ #lifelifefully #careercoaching #getyourshittogether⁠ #laptoplifestyle #financialfreedom #resumebuilder⁠ #resumetips #writingtips #lawofattraction⁠ #career #onlinemarketing #positivethoughts⁠ #worklifebalancegoals #mindsetiseverything⁠ #rockyourconfidence #barrieont #torontolife⁠ #careersearch #financiallyindependent⁠
Instagram LogoApplying Online⁠ ?⁠ ⁠ Applying to jobs online doesn’t have to feel like a lottery. ⁠ ⁠ But I know that it often does feel this way. ⁠ ⁠ ✅Online Applications: 30+⁠ ✅Call Backs: < 3⁠ ✅Mental State: burnt out.⁠ ⁠ The above is the typical situation that I see with my clients. Yet, it appears that the only way to apply for jobs these days is online.

Instagram LogoThe First Step In Changing Careers ?⁠ ⁠ When changing careers, as with anything in life, it is important to set goals and visualize where you want to be so that you can define what you want to do next.⁠ ⁠ The first step in this new journey is to take inventory of:⁠ ?Interests⁠ ?Strengths⁠ ?Values⁠ ⁠ You need to evaluate your past positions and figure out which of those you enjoyed and those that you didn’t. ⁠ ⁠ Create a list detailing everything that interested you about each of those roles and everything you did not enjoy about them. This will help you in determining your next area of interest.⁠ ⁠ Out of the list of things you most enjoyed in your past roles, write out your major strengths or accomplishments.⁠ ⁠ These strengths show you what you excel at most and what you can offer a new employer. You should include both hard skills and soft skills.⁠ ⁠ For your values you want to be clear on what you want in the culture of your next job. It’s important for your values to line up with the company you are working for to avoid any conflicts. The more you have in common the more likely you are to succeed.⁠ ⁠ Completing this exercise will help you in determining where you are headed with a new career and push you towards the next steps.?⁠ ⁠ Comment below your top strength - I’d love to hear it. ??⁠ ?⁠ ⁠ #transition #positivemindset #moneymaker⁠ #neversettle #workworkwork #financialgoals⁠ #solopreneurs #confidencecoach #motivationeveryday⁠ #jobhunt #hustleandheart #chooseyou #findyourwhy⁠ #newcareer #brainstorm #jobless #gobig⁠ #newjourney #successcoach #beyourbest⁠ #trysomethingnew #getorganised #careergrowth⁠ #productivitytips #rockyourconfidence⁠ #ottawaontario #transitioncoach #workfromhomejob⁠ #biztips #ottawa
