If you’re wondering how you are going to land that next job and take off on your big career, remember that you already have what it takes. Thankfully, today’s economy is in favor of the employee, and companies are hiring for all sorts of positions. For the first time in 20 years, there are more job openings than applicants, which means that the demand for labor is strong.
There has been a shortage of skilled laborers for a long time. With the exit of the Baby Boomer generation from the labor force, we are in dire need of electricians, plumbers, carpenters, mechanics, and professionals in similar blue-collar fields. In fact, over one-third of Americans now have a four-year college degree. Therefore, the real employment shortage is in industries that require more skill training than formal education. Many companies that are hiring are in health care, hospitality, and culinary arts.
What makes you unique?
Who you are, your strengths, talents, and values all contribute to your personal brand. You might think of a giant enterprise when the idea of a brand comes to mind, but everything that makes you your best asset is part of your brand. In today’s job market, an organization doesn’t just want a person that can punch a clock and fulfill a task. They are looking for individuals with character. Humans are capable of creative thinking and possess the ability to solve problems effectively. Robots cannot replace anyone that has the ability to inspire and lead others. People are a company’s largest asset, and the attributes that make you uniquely yourself are yours.
Maybe you need help writing your cover letters and résumés, but beyond that, you need to walk the walk. Would you hire you? All of the ways in which you conduct yourself in the world are the assets that you bring to an organization. Be the best version of yourself. Clean up your social media. Yes, recruiters will Google you. The companies that are hiring today are largely in the fields of tech, and they will do their research before they offer any candidate a job. So, be sure that you are displaying a brand image that is desirable in the line of work you hope to obtain.
We know that there are job openings and that companies everywhere are hiring, but how will they find you? Your best chance at getting a job in any field and at any level is to get to know people in those positions. Be strategic. Join a club or take a few classes. Set up an informational interview with someone who has the insight into the career you are seeking. Find an internship or an apprenticeship program. The jobs are waiting. All you have to do is get yourself recognized by someone that is in an influential role for decision making and demonstrate how you will become their next asset.
