5 STEPS TO YOUR DREAM JOB
The selection criteria of many dream jobs may outline the experience, skills, personal attributes, qualifications, knowledge and expertise needed to do a job effectively. Not everyone is a right fit into the top corporates.
Here are some key steps to help you successfully leave a mark at your next big interview and stand out as the right fit for the role.
Step 1: Understand what the HRs is looking for-
It is quintessential to understand the meaning of the selection criteria before you begin making your cover letter or resume. Take time to read the requirements in detail so that you can respond appropriately. This homework instantly will set you apart from other applicants.
Step 2: Simplify the matrix-
Most of the selection criteria in any hiring matrix is made up of three parts: a professional approach, a proactive approach and the ability to handle pressure. In order to fully meet the criteria, it is vital that you address all three components with equal measure.
Step 3: Match yourself to the Requirements-
Professional experiences where you have demonstrated your skills or attributes will make up for your dream job. Write down as many appropriate examples as you can, and then edit this list to focus on your most impressive takeaways and rank the relevant examples. This will be your base for that dream interview.
Step 4: Authenticate your-self-
It is critical to outline the nature and extent of your experience to provide concrete examples to prove your competence and past achievements. The best responses follow what is known as the STAR method: Situation (set the context), Task (outline your role), Action (explain what you did), and Result (key positive outcomes). Quantifiable measures such as cost reductions, process improvements or productivity helps to verify your achievements.
Step 5: In-tro-spect-
HRs do not have time to read between the lines. Hence a direct, relevant and easy to read resumes get a head start over others. Create a timeline of your experience and a concrete insight of each activity done so far. Be as transparent as you can and focused.
