First, I MUST know how prepared I am for my next job based on an employers perspective!

.

Landthatjob.ie estimates that people’s Self-Awareness & Market Awareness must increase significantly in order to be successful.  Without understanding how dramatic the labour market has changed, what opportunities can exist and what you can offer a prospective employer, will restrict your ability to;

•    Improve your ability to compete in the jobs market

•    Increase your own marketability in highlighting you as the ideal candidate for the jobs you applying for.

•    Create demand for your skills

See below for some reasons that Landthatjob.ie feel people need to understand and act on.

Understand What you are about, personally and professionally

Understand Why a company is recruiting or not recruiting

Understand You have to have multiple approaches for getting employed

Understand The pressures that everyone is under right now, not just you.

Understand The end result is largely out of your control, but you have to

execute the things that are in your control superbly

Understand The best way to get employed is with a plan with goals and relevant objectives

Understand The old ways of getting a job are gone and unlikely to return

Understand That only you can determine how you can get employed in 2010

Understand What you are, need, want and start planning on getting it

Understand It is a lonely and frustrating process with many disappointments

Understand You are already behind some of your competitors who have

got jobs already in this recession because they had a plan.

Understand Although 13% of the population are unemployed, 87% are

working.  Think positively.

Understand Nobody is going to hand you a job, let alone your ideal

career. Get moving!
