6 Things To Know About Your Job Search Campaign

6 Things To Know About Your Job Search Campaign You can search, hunt, or campaign for your next job. Which sounds like it requires more effort on your part? Campaigning may have been your choice. While I dont know first hand all the steps that go into running for office, I do know what Ive seen and it looks like a lot of work to me! A campaign involves travel, Town Hall Meetings, kissing babies, and lets not forget the newest trend- robo-dialing (NO!). Everything but the robo-dialing! What It Takes To Run A Campaign All the travel, meetings and appearances require planning. The candidate pays people money to arrange and coordinate these people. And they have a collection of volunteers helping them as well. I dont think you have been raising money for this, so youll have to do it yourself. I suppose you could try to rally volunteers to help you. A volunteer may be a close friend who is willing to introduce you to someone. A PR pro and speech writer are probably also on the candidates payroll. Again, these are roles youll have to take on yourself if you dont have access to a pile of cash. Hiring a coach or resume writer may be in your budget however. And lets not forget good old stamina, charisma and self-confidence. Winning candidates ooze this stuff! They almost boast about their qualifications. You probably wouldnt vote for someone who you didnt think could handle the job. But NEVER bad-mouth the other candidate, OK?! My post on US News World Report today is about the six things your job search campaign should include! Go have a read, please!
