Ability To Recognize A Good Job Opportunity

  It is typical observation that a lot of job seekers seem to find it rather difficult to distinguish between a good or bad job offer. Little wounder most of these job seekers end up settling for a job they total lack knowledge of thereby not fully committed to and often not rewarding in terms of income to them .This simply lies in the fact that while in the process of a job hunt,they simply lacked the required information that would be of great assistance in guiding them towards the right direction in getting the right job. It could also be due to limited information on the part of the job seeker. Such situation also leads to the general question that most job seekers would ask while they are faced with such situation,which is,how to recognize a good job offer or good job posting from a bad one.

  Here are the main factual answers to the questions bothering on the inability of job seekers in distinguishing between a good or bad job opportunity.This would enable your ability in recognizing your dream job opportunity.

 Write out offers Against your list of needs;  Writing out the job offers you have discovered and matching them against your needs is  highly recommended in the sense that it enables you to put aside job offers that would likely not meet your daily need and and would enable final concentration on a job offer that would likely meet your needs ranging from financial gains,benefits,promise for the future and satisfying life's obligations. It is important that you Write them down prior to your search and check the offers against them.

 Direct contact; Often times it is observed to be a pleasant observation to discover an actual name attached to a job listing that you can e-mail and reach out to rather than an hr.com e-mail address that likely serves as a dumping ground for resumes. In  this situation,direct contact matters a lot and with names attached,it gives you an excellent opportunity to embark on a research to discover the kind of job offer you want before hand,find out how long the company have been in existence,whether they have good prospects for the future, and so on.

 Apply for positions with clear job description; Any job offer without a clear conditions of the terms and conditions of agreement is unlikely to result in a good workplace environment. Companies often have specific job related questions they usually ask during the interview session,in person or not . A good job description will be less likely to result in a job where your duties go far beyond what you initially signed on for.

Be the solution

   
      A nature of relevance is one major factor that essentially guarantees your being valued and accepted by your employer. Ensure thst you are very useful in the area of proffering solutions and never hold back in expressing your feelings,ideas and advise that are geared towards the elevation of the companies status from its present stand to the height it aspires to attain.By so doing, you would have unconsciously advertised yourself to your employer as an individual of value.
    
       As a when you go to prepare for your job interview,ensure that you remain consistent,accurate and convincing in the interview.Become enthusiastic and eager to get the job.Most importantly,convey the right and not a misunderstood signal of your interest in getting the job and your feelings of a true likely friendship with your employer.There is no harm in letting him have a knowledge of how much you really need the job and how you are willing to become the best asset in the company.Often times employees that disclose there desire to be considered for a job offer are usually likely candidate for the job.Applying the above method in trying to convince your employer often cause the employer to instantly hire you and skip other procedures involved in the recruitment process. Just based on those vital signs.

                                     Increase your value
      
        In other to receive what you deserve from your paid employment,you must continually increase your value to others  and your employer. One major quality  of  a valued employee in an organizatio has
alot to do with your ability in providing solutions to company issues. In other to enable your alertness at being the best,it is as a matter of necessity that you do not forget the fact that just like life,problems and challenges are bound to come your way as an employee in the position you occupy and in the company you work .

Self Examination

   It should not come as a surprise to you how very successful individuals got to the top in life,and yet still gaining tremendous financial turnover from there profession or business. Julius Enyemeni, a very successful investment analyst made a rather astounding comment.He said,"for any intended attempt directed towards achieving a goal in life.You must first of all all have a vivid imagination of your idea and also think of how you would make a difference with your idea". Such an Idea and strategies that would surely reduce the number of client patronage to your competitors and bring your competitors clients to you. For this to be observed, firstly you need to specialize your skill on a very well harnessed and diagnosed idea of yours.

   Haven discovered your area of specialization in regards to an idea,you then have to bring it to light to make a difference in your business.Once again,with emphases. For you to have a break through with your idea,it must have been a properly harnessed area of specialization that is inline with what people would love to have, but not readily available or within reach.Your idea must have the ability to proffer solutions to peoples need and also pleasing to them.

 

     As a human being, the significant importance of self examination is that it helps you examine your life in general,and also help you put aside certain traits that has not had any positive effect in your life or helped you achieve your goals in life,and resolve to adopt a new positive approach towards your pursuit in life that would in-turn result to a positive outcome towards achieving your goal.

                                    

                                           The 100% positive mindset

    At a certain day, I decided to embark on yet another incisive research on individuals whom from my observation just decided to settle for less in life,and in my result, and based on the response i got from these individuals. I got to a logical conclusion that such individuals actually weighed the certainty of achieving there goals in life and felt uncertain of its accomplishment,and due to the unpleasant circumstances, they consciously or unconsciously settled to living an average life still holding on to the very little income from there jobs.Thereby consciously or unconsciously  giving up on life's goal and concentrating there mind on the little they get as income from there job, just remaining in there little comfort zone and no longer having the drive to excel beyond there limits.

    From the reply I got from these individuals. I recommended that they still retain a brighter perception of life even when it seems like the odds are against them attaining there desired goal. A unique attribute of a devoted positive thinker is that such an individual never lets go of the fact that he can still accomplish his desired goals despite the challenges he is confronted with. Make this a part of your life and you would definitely get to your desired destination in life.Never settle for less in life.  

100% Potential is Quite Essential

                                                      Display 100% potentials




  The major attributes you must be aware of as a job seeker  actively seeking for a  dream job is  an overtime build up of a personality that attracts people to you.  Theses attributes should also come useful to  you in the process of a job hunt. This entails trying to perfect some certain short comings about your personality that could be a treat towards  your getting that dream job. Besides your past job experiences and qualifications, your employer  would also like to have substantial knowledge of the kind of person you are if your likely to be considered for the job due to the fact that at that point in time, they do not know all about you there likely candidate.So they  often have to dig deep to have a true conviction of your true nature.

  Knowing you in this regards transcends from your display of a good personality. Your employers would often  like to know how friendly you seem, if you talk right, are you as intelligent as you look and so on. These and more go along way in fully convincing your employer that as a matter of fact that you are the right person for the job. Before all of these take place, you have to prepare your mind that based on your display of potentials you still have qualities that can make your employer and other employees in the organization glad having you as an employee.

 
      Another crucial and very important observation is a sudden inquisitive tendency by your employer about your kind of person.Once you observe a sudden inquisitive attempt by your employer it is at that point, you have to fully be prepared to roll out the content in you that stands you out as a potential employee based on your reply to the questions asked by your employer. There is nothing wrong with a calm smile back at your employer as you give reply to his questions. Doing this you would have unknowingly conveyed a message to your employer that you are also someone he needs as an employee in his organization.

   
   On several  occasions this strategy often gets job seekers employed . And also haven done that, you would have  given your employer the first impression that you are the kind of person he can comfortably work with especially on a very crucial customer related business business.

Importance Of true Profesionalism

      It could often be a daunting task in establishing boundaries in personal relationship, it is essential to also establish boundaries in a work environment . Every employee in an organization has a role to play in this regard.

   A true professional often separates business from his personal goals.These tendency often helps to retain relationship exclusively for business alone.For instance, As an insurance sales representative you only represent the insurance industry as you market insurance policy to likely prospects. It is right for each individual client not to find it offensive towards a particular objection by a professional. His role as a professional demands it and professional behavior makes it clear that the professional sales representative is observed to simply be doing his job to best of his abilities.


 Secondly, A professional is often observed to be committed in giving his client the satisfaction required in a transaction. At a stage, if a professional decides to live his present job, he often remains hopeful towards getting employed in another organization due to the fact that his services would definitely be required in such an organization.

  Furthermore, for a business entity to thrive,it requires new ideas and if this is lacking in a business entity it could stagnate the success of such a business. It is up to a true professional to be able to proffer very useful advise and suggestions to such business owners on the best way to keep thriving towards success in an organization or business. A true professional must be a good listener, and must have the ability to provide outstanding services,train employees of an organization and also help to eradicate inefficiency in an organization or business.

  In conclusion, professionals are passionate about there profession and never compromise on standards at any point in time.He remains resolute towards applying his professional  ethics in ideas towards solving critical issues of an organization, and always aiming for excellence in his profession. 

Act Like you want it

   

  Act!If you want that dream job,that change in your income,Act!Act!Act!This should be the way you act towards having a thing and to an extent it goes to show how willing you are towards having it. As an employee,applying a drastic approach towards accomplishing a task quite often gains you  recognition as a candidate of favor by the management board of any organization.Mind you,do not be too zealous as an over zealous mind could get out of control and become a destructive force to a business. Let your level of zeal be moderate,precise and properly calculated. It often leads you towards achieving an outstanding result in one task

 within a stipulated time.
                                                                                                                                                                                                 I remember the second employment I got in a bank. I actually applied to work as an account officer. Yes I eventually got employed into the bank as an account officer. But on my first day of assumption on the job. I was further enlightened on the banks terms and condition towards all employee irrespective of the position occupied in the bank  which stated that we must market at least a product or two of the bank geared towards bringing in prospective clients to save there money in the bank.On hearing this, I had my personal objections as I was an experienced account officer and the idea of marketing was just very strange to me based on my overtime experience as an account officer. I did ask questions in regards to this but my answer still boils down to the conclusion that it was the terms and conditions of the bank towards all employee. Well I had to go by the banks terms and conditions though I was not very comfortable with it.And the monthly targets were quite astonishing. I have to admit on my first few trials at marketing the banks product it seemed like I was not convincing enough to the prospective clients. So I decide to tag along with David. David was a long time employee of the bank even before I got employed into the bank and I heard he was very good at marketing the banks products and getting results. As I went along with David, I observed him closely each time he interacted with a prospect as I was also eager to learn at the shortest  possible time. I observed that David often gets his prospective clients to save there money in the bank. I also observed that each time David approaches each prospect, he often had the desire to win there heart through his disposition towards them and they would often take his offer to save there money in the bank.As a matter of fact, David wins the heart of his prospects and keeps it in his possession by constantly communicating with the clients. So, based on what I have learnt from David as a very young employee. I decided to give it a try and after some trials on my own, I observed it was as a matter of fact also working for me as I keep bringing in quite a number of clients on a monthly bases to the bank. As I was able to borrow some techniques from David and added to my technique this made me very formidable as an accountant and as the banks product and services marketer of the bank located in my country, Nigeria.

    My point is,while I observed David sell the banks products and services to prospective clients. I observed that boldness, confidence and desire to get prospective clients to save there money with the bank based on his actions even after he must have won the heart of his prospect.

  This to me was a true display of ones desire to achieve success in an endeavor, ones desire to 'act like he wants it'. Based on my true live story. Do attempt this technique either as a sales representative,products marketer and as a business person.It works.

Write Out your plans

  Do you have a future plan?Have you written them out yet?Due to your daily busy schedule as an employee, it is highly recommended that you write them out.This is because every day, you must wake up in preparation for your daily activities,with emphasis,daily.Daily in the sense that your daily activities is what you wake up to give full attention to everyday which could as a matter of fact make you loose focus on every other relevant plans for the future. Due to this fact,there is a likely tendency that you have to wake up early to achieve a task given to you by your boss before your day begins at your workplace,or you may have to meet up with the first flight to go on a business trip to represent the company you work in as an employee.The bottom line is, your daily activities are likely to attract daily target that you would have to constantly remain focused on its accomplishment within the shortest possible time.Hence time,devotion and actions are required to accomplish those daily task. Once your mind is constantly giving attention to numerous office task,it is certain that you might forget everything else about the plans you must retain in mind.

    The thing is, as humans, we can not give full attention to all our plans for the future, especially the very major plans. It is even more risky when some of your plans has a very crucial role to play in uplifting your life for the best. Once such a plan is neglected due to your busy work schedule, it could be rather difficult to remember them  as you go on in life.In fact, you might end up neglecting them for a while.
                                   Why you must write out your future plans

    Like resolutions,some future plans could also be forgotten.Furthermore, resolutions made do not often remain resolved in ones life.Likewise the major plans made for the future. Therefore it is rather precautionary that you write out those plans for the following reasons:

 1.Because it would lead you to a fulfilled life
 2.Because you are able to look at your written plans and keep them in mind
 3.Because it would prompt you to keep taking steps towards achieving them
 4.Because it would give you a clearer picture of what you truly want in life
 5.Because it keeps your mind positive on a positive likely outcome in transforming your life for
    good
 6.Because it would enable you remain focused.
 7.Because you would know which to put to use at the appropriate time
 8. Because it gives you a sense of direction towards your goals and aspirations.

Negotiate A salary

   As an experienced career professional.Believe this, you have the right to negotiate with your employers on the kind of income you would require before consideration of the job offered to you by the same employer. Bearing this in mind,before you proceed to sign up for a job offer.Most companies in search of employees might informally offer you the job before they give you any  document relating to your being accepted as an employee in such organization.That is a perfect time to talk about what you want as income from your new job offer.

   It is assumed that your new employer who has the intention to hire you,received buy in from other team members and has no desire to continue interviewing individuals seeking employment in such organization.More than any thing else,they are anxious for you to start work at the soonest time possible,that is the point in time to ask for a better pay check.To have an idea of how much you would ask for,also bear in mind that your employer has given you a salary that is considerably enough for you.

    But, do not undervalue yourself.Know that all employers expect you to do some negotiation based on what you have on your resume and how you would be an asset to the organization.At several occasions in this regard,most employers tend to observe likely valuable candidates seeking employment that negotiate for better income as high performers who are well groomed for the position they seek to occupy. It is now up to you as a candidate seeking to be employed to figure out the income you want,and then ask for abit more to allow room for compromise.You would observed a constant feeling of comfort working in such an organization as your dignity still remains intact as you display absolute professionalism in such and organization.

Tryout a winning attitude,it works!

 Some would often ask.What are the exact impression that portrays a winning attitude.Well,being yourself loving yourself and loving other and believing that you have the solution to there needs or want,having the confidence that you can proffer acceptable solutions to there problems go along way in igniting your winning attitude  in life and as a sales representative. As a sales representative who sold insurance on behalf of an American Insurance company in my country to a majority of individuals.I would often approach a prospective client as one who knows there needs and is ready to give them solution to there needs. This way,I try to gain the confidence of the prospective client by thoroughly explaining how of great help my product would be to him.There is always a feeling of confidence each time I interact with a prospect just because I believe I will win his heart in the end. Do not misconstrue this it just a winning attitude that often helps me win the hearts of my client and it is an experience that has been a part of me overtime as an insurance sales person in an American Insurance Company.

  Similarly,the truth is you can live the life you want to live. But like every other thing in life you must believe you can achieve what you set your mind towards achieving in life. As soon as you accept this fact then your winning attitude is brought to life.
 For you to have that believe in yourself, it is very necessary that you have a deep insight into your life and start to develop the self belief abilities deposited within you.Many people are unaware that they are actually born with this ability but has all the while neglected to bring it to life in there life.

   The most important first step towards achieving your life aspiration is to start developing the strength you possess within. Most people are unaware that they have this power and energy center from which your self belief and self confidence grows. All the good quality that would give you the winning attitude are all deposited within you.This is why you have to develop them and let it give you that confidence that you can win in whatever you wisely set your mind to achieve either as a sales person or in business.

The Relevance In a futuristic plan

    As a career person it is important that you have a close door assessment of the speed at which you intend to accomplish your aspirations as an employee to ascertain if you are slow or accelerated in your speed.Planning enables you remain on your job aspiration. Planning also provides the framework for informed decision making. Planning is essentially important as it allows you to prioritize your work and get more work done in a short time.
 
     It is very relevant to plan your work as it would enable you improve your productivity by ensuring that you remain on the right track with your aspirations. Most importantly for individual in a managerial job position in an organization,it is very certain that you would be held accountable for your decisions and actions.In this regard, you being saddled with being accountable to others can bring a sense of ownership by you and also accountable to others relying on your impressive performance on the company task. 

                                                Importance of strategic planning

     As we all are aware that every business is usually based on a good business plan and knowing the direction at which your business is heading. This ideology is also applicable in a corporate business entity. This has to do with a periodic review of the company's past performances and also predicting its on-going performance.This helps to give a road map for the organization to follow towards  attaining its goals.

  For instance, if your goal is to earn A million naira in revenue next year. The step towards achieving this might entail that you have to bring four new prospective clients on a monthly bases and also attending trade seminars. Furthermore, whatever goal you decide to achieve, it should strictly be concrete and measurable to enable you ascertain when you have accomplished your goal.

    Finally,the method of strategic planning has alot to do with your ideologies at the start up stage of your business, before that you had a mission statement that spelt out your business values statement and also giving detailed information of your company. If your mission statement is to be recognized as a leader in the Banking industry for instance, you have to help your targeted customers understand the importance and benefits of saving there money in the Bank, your strategic plan should be geared towards those goals just as similar to your mission statement. And your company profile should also go long way in conveying the business of your industry to your targeted clients.
