Praetorian Outsource Marketing has spent a
lot of time reporting on the difficulties facing graduates and young people
when it comes to finding a job. There is no doubt that at the moment the job
search is incredibly hard, but that doesn’t mean you should give up hope. So
the direct sales and outsource marketing company from Birmingham wants you to
be prepared when opportunity comes knocking at your door.
As a job seeker you should be prepared to
pitch yourself at any given moment, you just don’t know when there might be
someone with a job to fill. Even more importantly you should be able to do it
professionally, succinctly and impressively. How on earth can I do that in 15
seconds or less, you might ask? Praetorian Outsource Marketing has a few tips.
Firstly practice makes perfect. Never allow yourself to be caught off guard. You should have a self-pitch ready
to share at any moment, it must be clear, simple and impressive and you
should be able to deliver it with confidence. Praetorian Outsource Marketing
would recommend that you write it out to make sure you include all the
important points then practice it until it doesn't sound rehearsed.
We’re taught not to boast but that doesn’t
mean that you shouldn’t sell yourself. It is a fine art to blow your own
trumpet but in a classy way. Practice it on a close friend, they will tell you
honestly whether it sounds on the right side of impressive or boastful.
Finally it’s important not to simply reel
off your CV. A spokesperson for Praetorian Outsource Marketing advises, “Instead
of telling someone how long you were in your last job focus instead on the
impact you made there and what your future career goals are.”
Keeping yourself on the lookout for
opportunities at all times, and being ready for them when the chance presents
itself, will ensure that you give yourself the best possible chance of success.
Praetorian Outsource Marketing believes that by keeping your pitch to 15 seconds or less, you’ll keep their
attention and hit all they key points. Praetorian Outsource Marketing wishes
you the best of luck in your search.
