CRITICAL STEPS TO CAPTURE AN
EMPLOYER'S ATTENTION
3

• Millions of people are currently unemployed in
  the United States.

4

• The Bureau of Labor Statistics has the number of
  unemployed people at 8 million at this time.

5

• Therefore, applicants have to make extraordinary
  efforts to convince potential employers of their
  need to hire them.

6

• The entire process provides opportunities for a
  potential employee to convince a the employer to
  make a favorable hiring decision.

7

• The following are some critical steps to capture
  a potential employers attention

8
1

• Create Unique Resume Elements

9

• Employers have to go through hundreds and
  sometimes thousands of resume applications.

10

• They are looking for some uniqueness in the batch.

11

• The days of the boring resume file name and
  format are gone.

12

• A competitive prospective worker now has to come
  up with file names

13

• and formatting elements that grab the person
  who is sifting through the pile. Exciting resumes
  will avoid the trash bin.

14

• One example is to create a file name such as
  your new hire.doc, that sends a hire me
  subliminal message to the employer.

15

• The job seeker should use a layout that isnt
  commonplace, as well.

16

• Special qualifications, experience and schooling
  should speak to the potential employer in bold or
  italic letters.

17

• Make sure your resume includes keywords the
  employer may be looking for.

18
2

• Conduct Company Research

19

• Conducting company research is mandatory for a
  person who is looking for a career rather than a
  job.

20

• Employers want to know that their future
  employees know and understand the company
  culture, goals and protocol.

21

• The idea is for the applicant to avoid applying
  to work for a company that may not have the same
  values that he or she has.

22

• Knowing where the company stands in the financial
  market is good to know, as well.

23

• A prospective employee can mention something that
  he or she has read during the research sessions
  upon entering the interview.

24

• The interviewer will likely be impressed by the
  person's willingness to learn about the employer.

25
3

• Bring Extras to the Interview

26

• Extras are additions to a job interview that
  stand out from the crowd.

27

• Interviewees usually bring their resumes and
  themselves to the interview.

28

• An extra-step interviewee could bring something
  like a PowerPoint presentation or an infographic
  that states his or her vision for the future.

29

• The extra material may stick in the interviewers
  mind as a reason to hire the applicant.

30

• Either of those items will express to the
  interviewer that the applicant is computer savvy
  and accustomed to some of the new programs.

31
4

• Dazzle With Enthusiasm

32

• Enthusiasm is an element that has power in the
  employment world.

33

• Interviewers are more likely to hire a person who
  expresses enthusiasm than a person who expresses
  flat over-qualification.

34

• Enthusiasm lets the prospective employer know
  that the applicant is highly excited and
  extremely grateful for the opportunity to work
  for such a firm.

35

• The best way to come to an interview is to bring
  a huge bucket of enthusiasm.

36

• Going above and beyond what everyone else does is
  critical for a person who sincerely wants a job.

37

• Nowadays, too many applicants are competing for
  the same position for mediocre attempts to be
  acceptable.
