Happy Independence Day to everyone

In the last three posts, I talked about some common ways many job seekers are used to searching for jobs and why they don’t work.

If you miss part one, two or three of this post, then you can read them at https://www.nairaland.com/1903613/how-got-job-just-two, https://www.nairaland.com/1905569/how-got-job-just-two and https://www.nairaland.com/1907179/how-got-job-just-two

But now, I’m done with that and I will dive straight into how I play my job hunting game and win in grand style getting my dream job in just two weeks and causing employers to keep chasing me all around with calls just to make me come down and work for them.

Now without wasting much time, we go....

Ever ask yourself this question – How do I get the job of my dream?


If you have ever ask yourself or anyone this question before, then I’ve got an answer for you and this isn’t just any answer but a smart one to help you land that job of your dream.

And have you ever think of not getting just a job but the job that suits you and the job you have always dream of?
Forget what anyone has told you before that you need to settle for just a job you can get all because it’s competitive out there in the job market.

But damn that believe! You can get the job of your dream and not just any job; here are just 3 smart steps to help you land that job of your dream.

Over the past few years, I have successfully get the job I want even in a field that isn’t the one I’m used to or have any prior experience and qualification for.

But if you ask me, all I’ve done and I will do if if I need any job today is all enshrined in a 3 step strategy and I will be dealing with each of the 3 steps one by one and I will also be adding lessons you need to learn from each steps.

Step 1: Ask Yourself What You Can Do:

Forget about what you CV says or what you learn in school, nowadays, many are doing great at a field that is entirely different from what they study in college. Look inside you, what is that thing you can do and that one thing you can do best without any supervision or external motivation?

Can you write, draw or do you like balancing the books? That’s just the point. All I’m saying here is what you know you can do well.

And if you are good at what you study in school, then that’s just all you need.

The idea behind knowing what you can do is that you need to differentiate yourself from the rest of job seeker out there who just like shooting their CV all around for just any job they can get around.

You’ve got to be a smart job seeker and by doing so, you aren’t like everyone who think they need to shoot all the star of job openings around before they can get that super star of their dream job which in essence gives a false feeling of doing something when in reality, they are doing nothing or better still, doing less.

Not every job will be yours and you can’t be qualified for all jobs, but by knowing what exactly you can do well, you can save yourself some time to really focus on the job that fits into what you can do and other jobs that aren’t a fit for you are just simply ignored.
And if you like to know – not all employers wants your service. So why don’t you go for those employer that needs what you can do?

Lesson To Learn 4:

One of the most common and wasteful thing every job seekers are used to is applying for every jobs they can get either from the many online job search sites or even classified job ads in newspaper and magazines etc.

Ask me about this and I will tell you that this is a great and one big mistake that any job seeker can make. Maybe the popular thinking that by applying for every job around, the number game comes to play and the chances of getting a job at the end is increased but if anyone sit down and analysis this well, then you will realized that doing this has been the major reason why many aren’t yet without a job because all you can succeed in doing with this is just wasting time and energy on applying for jobs that you are either not qualified for or having more job seekers applying for the same job than even the HR manager can manage to check before deciding on who is the best fit for the job.

I’ve once devoted episodes of Your Career And You Show to this subject and I can go on and on till tomorrow to explain why applying for every job and scattering and submitting CVs all around is just a waste of time but a quick visit to the links below will help you understand better why you should stop playing the number game by applying for every job and shooting your CV all around the places.

And maybe if you are asking what you should do instead of sending your CV and application all around in response to all job openings you can get around, then don’t worry too much as I will be dealing with that soon .

So let’s move forward

Step 2: Ask Yourself Where What You Can Do Is Needed:

Fine, you already know what you can do and that is one thing you have done differently from many other job seeker out there.
What next for you is to ask yourself where what you can do is needed? It’s all simple like that.

You can write? Fine, don’t you think a newspaper or media house will be interested in what you can do? Or maybe balancing the books is all you can do well and you know inside yourself that you can become another Akintola Williams, who do you think will require your services and all you can do? Those accounting firms around you are all the answer to your question and what else is stopping you from landing that job of your dream in that accounting firm?

Look around you and you will see many firms, companies and organization that need that one thing you can do well and these places are just where you dream job is hiding. Won’t you just go there and remove that sucking veil from the face of your dream job from these places? But before you do that, read what I’m about to tell you next.
Lesson To Learn 5:
Getting the job you want anytime you want it shouldn’t be so hard if only you can know what you can offer employers and also locating those employers that need what you can offer. It’s just as simple as this.
But let me explain...
Forget about what your CV reads the grade you graduated with in school or all the degrees and awards you’ve had over the years and even all the work experience you have gathered over the years. Forget it, employers aren’t concerned about all these and even you as well!

Yes, you read that well, they aren’t concerned about you! All what they are concerned about is “What Is In For Them” or simply what they can get from you and if you can play their favourite station – WIIFm that is “What Is In For Me”, then you are the guy that will always have the job you want at anytime.

One thing employers and HR Manager want to know is what you can do for them and that is why I mentioned knowing what you can do as your Step Number One to get the job of your dream.

Over the years, I’ve perfected the art and act of fishing out what the employer I would like to work for want and needs and how I met those needs and offer value to them in exchange for them taking care of my bills every month and that has been a secret that many job seekers will never know but here now, I’m revealing that to you and now, it’s no more a secret unless you are still waiting for an angel to come down and tell you this before you know that it’s all you need to hear and know to help you get the job of your dream soon.

And after pinning down what value you can offer to your prospective employers, all you need is to fish out who your prospective employers are and I must say this is just the solution to the problem of you shooting your CV all around for any job you can get.

The rule of job search has changed and instead of the old way of sending you job application and CV in respond to all jobs you can get with the hope that you will one day be lucky to get a job out of those many jobs you are applying for never works again but instead you should be laser focused on what you want – I mean that specific value you can add to employer’s life, the exact job that fit into what you can do as well as those specific employers who need what you have to offer.

Now with that, let’s dive into the third step which is really where the job is but before that, I will leave you with links to some useful posts and past episodes of Your Career And You Show that dealt with this issue.
