How To Get 'Luckier' Getting Your Next Job

Tips & Hints for Better Covering Letters, CVs & Interviews

From what we've seen in the recruitment process and sitting on interview panels, we reckon about 85% of people get lucky when they get a job.

And by lucky, we mean the 'chance, accident, coincidence' type of luck, not the "luck is when preparedness meets opportunity" & 'the harder I work the luckier I get' types of luck.

They get lucky because by accident rather than design their experience just happens to match enough of what the employer is looking for. This generally isn't done by planning or conscious thought, it just fortunately happens that way because the job they're going for is similar to their current one.

That's OK if your current role happens to be [very] similar to your new one, but this isn't always the case. And it regularly isn't, especially if you're looking for a promotion, or moving to a different agency or organisation, or where you have to demonstrate transferrable skills that may not immediately be obvious. That's why people often fail to even get an interview. Relying on 'luck' isn't really a strategy!

Most people talk about examples of what they do in their current role, often writing/talking very good answers and with great results to prove how good they are at it. However, the example they have given is not so relevant to what they'll be doing in the new role, and consequently they're unlikely to even get an interview let alone get the job. I'll give you an example:

Let's take the Communicate Effectively at an Adept level in the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework. The first point is "tailor communication to the audience", which let's say you do a lot of in your job & is also asked for as a capability in the new role you're applying for.

From experience in your current role, you talk about how you tailor your communication to the people you deal on the phone & face to face, how you take great care not to use any agency specific acronyms & language, saying what you say in plain, easy to understand English, how you 'keep it real & down to earth', & you round out with a great result about how you regularly get people saying thank you & sending complimentary emails to your boss because they appreciate your down to earth style & the easy to understand way you say things, & how your boss regularly gives you the more difficult cases to deal with...

However, what they mean in the new role by "tailor communication to the audience" is how succinct your briefing notes need to be, how well you will use agency-specific language & terminology in your internal reports & how you'll be extremely polished & even a little guarded in talking to senior external stakeholders & briefing the new director.

So, if you don't find out exactly what they mean in the new role by Communicate Effectively at an Adept level, and "tailor communication to the audience", then you're at risk of missing the boat. You may have that experience, and what you do may be very similar, but if you don't talk about it in the context of the new role, then you're not going to get 'lucky'.

So, the key thing to remember is to make sure you put the capabilities you're being asked to demonstrate in the context of the new job - what that means in that world, not in yours.

Once you understand that, then you can look at what you've done & angle what you say & tell stories about those things from the perspective of the new role, not your current role. That way you'll have more of the "luck is when preparedness meets opportunity" luck than the 'chance, accident, coincidence' type of luck.

Job Search Tips: 6 Documents To Have Ready

Having all of the documents you need updated and ready to go for when you are applying for a job can seem like a job in and of itself. True, the creation of certain documents can take some time, but so can not having them ready to go when needed. Here is a list of a few documents that should be created and perfected (as much as possible) before beginning the application process.

Resume(s)
Having a resume, or resumes, ready to go is an obvious one, right? Going through the process of creating or updating, editing, and formatting usually is not an hour project (unless all you have to do is update a date on a position). Then, there is the creation/adjustment of multiple resumes. I recommend having a resume that speaks to each type of position you are applying for. I don't mean a separate resume for eachposition, but for the different types of jobs. For example, you may be qualified for a few different positions, such as mechanic, welder, and operator. Each of these job descriptions will be slightly different and having a resume that is specifically tailored to each of these will increase your chances of being seen by the recruiter.

Cover Letter
Some companies prefer a cover letter, some require one, and some don't want to see one (or they don't give the applicant the ability to send one). In any case, having one or two cover letters prepared in advance can help you save time when applying. Again, tailoring the cover letter to the specific position type is recommended. However, one general cover letter will do the trick - as long as you review the cover letter and edit it appropriately before sending. The first paragraph should outline your experience and education in relation to the position you are applying for, the rest of the body should explain who you are (i.e. dependable, responsible, works well independently and in a team, etc.), and the closing should give the recruiter your contact information (which should also be in the header when able). If the cover letter is well written enough you should only need to change the first paragraph to coincide with the job listing.

References / Education History
I lump these two together because I have them together in one document. The first page I list professional and personal references (some companies like to see personal references as well), and the second page includes my education history.

For my references, I have their names, how long I have known them, and their contact information.

For my education history, I have the degree, institution, graduation date, and GPA listed.

I have a PDF'd document saved on my computer so I can upload it during the application process, and I have copies printed for the interview process. I offer this during the interview, even if I'm not asked for them.

Letter of Recommendation
I didn't have a letter of recommendation (LOR) from anyone for many years, but I decided that this would be good to have for profiles that give a place to upload it. I actually have two - one from each of my last two supervisors. A couple things to keep in mind when requesting a recommendation from someone: 1: make sure it is not dated (some employers won't accept a LOR if it's over so many years old), 2: ensure it is signed (a LOR isn't any good if it's not signed by the person writing it), and 3: PDF it (this makes for easy upload to a company's site).

Unofficial Transcripts
Some employers, not many in my experience, will ask for your transcripts. Some colleges start charging after they issue so many official transcripts, so offering unofficial transcripts and promising official transcripts if offered the position will show a sign of good faith on your part and will keep your official transcript costs to a minimum.

Examples of Work
Some positions, especially in the marketing field, will ask for examples of your work. Having these ready in a format that is accessible by most anyone (i.e. PDF or jpeg) will allow you to easily access, upload, and offer these examples to a potential employer. For positions where it is common to show the type and quality of your work I recommend having a professional portfolio of your work put together to show during an interview.

---

Pulling all documents together prior to applying will save you time and frustration. Almost every employer will ask for a resume, but not all employers will ask for the rest of the listed documents, but it can't hurt to have them ready just in case. And keeping a few hard copies on-hand when you interview with a company can be helpful and will show that you are organized and prepared.

Technology in the Sector of Courier Jobs

There is no doubt some courier jobs have been created as a direct result of the recent increase in Internet shopping. This doesn't just apply around Christmas time anymore - it affects volumes throughout the year.

While, in the past, the downside to Internet shopping (from the customer's point of view) was the uncertainty of when a delivery would arrive, this is now becoming a thing of the past. Some companies are already using technology to optimise delivery times. Here we can see how this cutting-edge technology is making the world of difference.

Delivery slots and timings are more accurate

Some transport companies are now using more detailed information on their courier jobs to alert customers as to when a delivery is likely to arrive. A text could be sent the day before, and then a customer will receive an update the next morning complete with a web link, enabling them to track their parcel live online. The driver could be making delivery number 16, while the customer is number 34, for example, and as the driver gets closer the screen updates. Any company using this technology allows their customer to gauge, within about five minutes, when they'll get a knock on their door.

No more day-long delivery slots

In the past it was deemed convenient if you could narrow things down to AM or PM. With the technology mentioned above, the customer is able to narrow things down a lot more. This means they can pop out if need be and still keep an eye on how close the driver is to their home. They can ensure they're back in plenty of time and still get other things done during the day as well.

Courier jobs will see fewer non-delivered parcels

One of the most frustrating things about courier jobs is the number of parcels that go undelivered. This is particularly annoying for the driver who is paid per parcel delivered - the more undelivered parcels they get, the less financially successful their day will be. By providing the customer with accurate information that narrows things down to a much smaller time slot, the instance of undelivered parcels should naturally reduce. Even if the live technology updates mentioned above are not given, it is still possible to reduce things down to a timeslot of about one or two hours in many instances.

As you can see, technology certainly does allow people to shop online with more confidence. However it also allows the transport companies to provide an even better service. The smart operators have, therefore, positioned themselves ahead of the competition and look set to continue expanding their businesses as a result. Who knows where this might lead us in the future?

Norman Dulwich is a correspondent for Courier Exchange, the world's largest neutral trading hub for same day courier jobs in the express freight exchange industry. Over 3,000 transport exchange businesses are networked together through their website, trading courier jobs and capacity in a safe 'wholesale' environment.

How to Use Your Network When Job Hunting

When it comes to the job search, you have one of the best tools at your disposal: your network. Networks are important to nurture because they add a human touch to the application process. From my experience I would guestimate between 60-80% of hires are due to "who you know."

A network is, technically, everyone you know. Here are some helpful clinical trial staffing hints on how to use your network to its greatest advantage:

1. Build your Network. Whatever you do, don't forget an essential golden rule as quoted by Napoleon Hill in his essay called "The Law of Success": "Before you can secure co-operation from others; nay, before you have the right to ask for or expect co-operation from other people, you must first show a willingness to co-operate with them. For this reason... the habit of doing more than paid for is one which should have your serious and thoughtful attention." (p8)

The best way to build your network is to freely contribute to causes within your field. Market your strengths by positioning yourself in front of people who will be able to notice your skills and recommend you for career opportunities. By genuinely and selflessly giving of your time and talent you will truly impress people and will build incredible alliances with those who will help your job search endeavor. Areas to consider include social media and online discussion groups, active memberships with civic organizations or special interest clubs, and volunteering. Not only will you effectively continue to build your network but you will be able to add additional skills, experiences and accomplishments to your resume.

2. Nurture your network. This step can start at any time, but the hope is that you are building and nurturing your network before you need it. Talk to friends and colleagues with the intention of rekindling rapport. As you build new associations stay in contact with them so you create a long-lasting bond. A network is all about relationships, and this takes time; however, the more people in your network feel connected to you, the more they will want to help you.

3. Tell them about your situation. Don't just contact people you think may be helpful in your job search, contact everyone! You don't know who your contacts know and anyone can help generate a job lead. You can either take the direct approach by asking for their assistance, or a more indirect approach by just asking for friendly advice regarding your job search. Renew connections by picking up the phone and calling your contacts; then be sure to follow-up with an email so you stay in their mind.

Most importantly, please realize business and social networking is not a quick solution to your job search challenge. This approach can take time, but by sticking to building those relationships and contacts your efforts will pay off.

Have any questions? Ask the clinical trial staffing team here and we will be happy to help.

Are You Interested in Dentistry Jobs?

Do you wish to work in the dentistry industry? This means you should take into account multiple things related to the requirements or the abilities that one might need for this field. You have the opportunity to become a dentist, a dental assistant or a receptionist. These options can contribute to the survival and success of a dentist office. You can select these options depending on your desires and interests.

Dentist jobs are easy to find all over the world. If you think about working as a dentist, you should know that you need a BA and MA in dentistry. This gives you the opportunity to begin your practice or choose a partner. But keep calm, because if your desire is to work as a front desk man/woman or as an assistant you don't need any type of special education. Everyone can go into the office of a dentist and be considered a worthy candidate for a position of any type.

Dental assistants
Dental assistants might need to work with the mouths of people. This means getting in contact with disease, bacteria and illnesses. In addition to this, they will get in contact with blood, especially if working with bleeding gums. But this doesn't mean that they will not have to work with teeth cleaning and extractions, take x-rays and many other interest tasks.

Terminology
Those who are interested in dental jobs have to comprehend the terminology used by dentists and know how to use it. Everything can be learned in the case of this job, but it doesn't hurt to learn some of the basic terms. The job of a receptionist in a dentist's office requires a sort of schedule that must be respected. This means that you'll need to have a few basic notions of the computer system. Lots of scheduling programs are incorporated into advanced systems. It wouldn't hurt to know how to use them. But if you don't, it is not the end of the world - you can always learn it.

Working as a receptionist means you need to have various abilities, like getting along with the staff. You have to work with patients, get their appointments and reassure them that everything is alright. You'll have to work in an organized manner and make everyone happy. A receptionist will have to collaborate with insurance companies and obtain payments. This means collecting payments from clients and collecting past accounts.

The dental jobs that also involve reception also involve lots of papers. The insurance companies might need a bit more work than other domains, but the work can keep you busy and can save you from a lot of things on the long-term.
