All the hard work you’ve put into your job search will lead you to an excellent job, but once you find it, do you know how to ensure you’ll land it? The steps you take right after you find the perfect job can make all the difference between “Welcome aboard!” and “Better luck next time.”
In between the time you submit your application and the moment you send in your accepted job offer, there’s plenty of opportunity to seal the deal with a future employer, so I invited Jeff Gampel, National Director of Corporate Recruitment here at Onward Search, to join me on our latest episode of the Career Cast Podcast to talk about how to win your next job.[/accent]
The first thing you should know about Jeff is that his advice stems from over 25 years of experience in the staffing and recruitment fields. He has seen more job applications, cover letters, follow-up phone calls and successful professional matches than you can count, which makes him an expert on the do’s and don’ts of impressing a hiring manager.
Jeff and I talk about the ways you can guarantee you’ll capture a manager’s attention and interest from the moment you apply and maintain that interest beyond your interview. His advice centers around paying very close attention to everything you see, hear, and read, to ensure you leverage every opportunity to stand out from the competition. Jeff also offers some inside tips about how much timing matters when you are applying, following up and accepting a job offer.
Be sure to listen to all of Jeff’s great advice on what it takes to successfully win and accept a job offer. Whether you are just starting your job search or you are expecting a job offer any minute, you’re bound to pick up something that will help you on your way to your dream job!
