As the economy slowly picks up, job seekers are using more creative means of finding a new position. Thinking outside the box can put you in front of the right people, the ones who have the authority to bring you on board.
Traditional methods no longer work
One must design a specific plan of attack and work it like no other. In one of my previous blog posts, I shared the strategy of one job seeker who created a video demonstrating the company's product on himself.In that same blog post, a Baby Boomer created a mock interview video including a unique means of presenting his resume to his potential employer.
Create your own fantastic opportunity
Finding a job in a tough economy requires standing your previous strategy on its head. Posting resumes no longer work, simply using sites like LinkedIn are single threaded means to get hired.As this video shows, using Social Media strategically can get you an interview with the CEO. Done correctly, the turn around time for your "in person" interview could be just a few keystrokes away.
