Posts Tagged ‘Job Campaign’

I was recently reading a fantastic article from Louise Fletcher called You’re Not Applying for a Job. You’re Running a Campaign. The article points out that you have to treat your job search like you are campaigning for political office.

The thing I like most about this piece is that it helps to shift your frame of mind away from the standard job application. You can move away from the perception of “applying” and on to “convincing”. Instead of sending out quiet applications, broadcast yourself, along with your skills and abilities for employers to hear. This will help you break through the “noise” found during the standard job hunt and get through to employers more easily.

There are a million different things that I like about this, but it’s probably just best that you read it yourself and draw your own conclusions about how to put it into action.
