How To Market Yourself For The Job Search or Dating Scenes

What you need to reel them in. This is a guest post by Ofra Kleinberger Riedrich. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. Business relationships are no different from private relationships – the difference occurs because of the context in which the relationship exists. And so, it has occurred to me that business tactics can surely help people be more successful also in their private life - when looking for a partner, or in the bridge in between - such as when looking for work. In the words of Rabbi Shmuly Boteach – dating is like going on a series of interviews for the most important position in your life, the position of a spouse. In the search for a loving partner, the modern dating scene allows for business marketing tactics as tools that can assist people to self-market themselves as desirable dates to the opposite sex. When looking for employment, you need to present yourself at your best to your prospective new boss. In this short blog, I want to review the AIDA marketing model and how it can be used on the way to true love or new employment on the way to furthering your career.

Good Grief! Listen to the Employer and Learn What They Value!

If you don't pay attention to employers' needs, they won't pay attention to yours. This is a guest post by Mark Anthony Dyson. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. When Charlie Brown said that Joe Shilabotnik was his all-time baseball hero in the Major Leagues, with a horrible batting average way below .200, we can understand why. As grown-ups, we do. There is a valuable lesson here that anyone could be your hero, and it doesn't matter why it gets us excited. We know throughout the decades, Charlie Brown would have given up every single baseball card he owned for Joe Shilabotnik's card. Value works for us when we've hacked into the interests of the other person, or in this case the employer. If Charlie Brown is the job seeker and Lucy the employer, then the benefit of creating value must be communicated. Job seekers go wrong in never demonstrating value when the moment comes. Employers want to win in value more often than in volume. Employers tell you what they need some time by what they don't need. Listen closely and you can discern accurately. I will dissect Charlie Brown's approach from end to beginning in order to show how job seekers miss opportunities to connect with employers in demonstrating the value.

In Your 20s? Focus More on Time Than Moneymaking

Choose the right career while you're young enough to change your mind. This is a guest post by Alina Jingan. If you’d also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines. In the last couple of years I’ve met lots of young people who believed that they first need to have money as the main resource to invest in their development or ideas. At first glance someone will agree that that’s correct, and maybe it is to a certain extent. But the thing that concerns me is that people spend little time to think about the cost of spending all your time on making money. Young people earn money, as everyone else, with their time. There is a constant exchange between time and money, even when you are young, because it impacts on everything. The way we choose and do our job impacts on the way we spend our time, and the way we spend our time is the way we live our lives. Youth is the time to learn through testing and making decisions, mainly without previous experience, but the key element is that all these experiments take time: your time. So, here are some of my thoughts of why you should choose having more time instead of having more money in your 20s.
