Services for Individuals - Job Search
You need to know what you are selling to an employer. Your strengths, your skills, your demonstrated experience and how these connect with the position you are applying for, need to be clearly articulated by you, in a way that makes you an obvious choice for an interview, makes you a convincing choice as the successful candidate and achieves a job offer with appropriate conditions

Careers by Design can make sure that your purpose in applying is sharp and clear, and that why you want this job is convincingly presented by you, a candidate to be taken seriously.

Make Them Notice You
The way you reflect your capabilities and career progression in a resume and application letter needs to be clearly connected with the needs of the position you are applying to. Knowing the business of the employer, connecting yourself to those business needs and then performing at interview with powerful behavioural examples and the right skills, attitude and qualities for the position are important tools to line you up for the short list and, of course, for the job offer! Preparation and rehearsal are everything in personal marketing. Careers by Design uses live ads to coach you to prepare your application and provides interview coaching to give you confidence and presentation that will make all the difference.

Know Where to Look
A small percentage of vacancies ever reach the media, printed or electronic. Recruitment consultants also fill only a minority of vacancies. Developing your skills to systematically identify organisations that can use your talents and tapping into the hidden job market are important to find the job you want in a shorter timeframe. This requires you to exercise skills and behaviours that will connect you with employment decision-makers. Research, information interviewing and an understanding of business are skills that Careers by Design can show you to uncover more job hunting opportunities than you ever imagined possible.

Stay Focused and Motivated
Staying focused and motivated are the biggest challenges of job search for all of us. Managing yourself through the process, understanding the means to the end, not taking rejection personally and becoming skilled as an applicant, are life long skills that you will need again and again. Careers by Design can provide you with tools and support to keep you on track with tenacity and courage, to land a great result and to progress your career.
