How to Outshine More Qualified Competition with Business Awareness Training
Don’t think you stand a chance of getting that dream job everyone else is going for?Think it’ll probably go to some hugely qualified ubergeek with every qualification under the sun and more experience?Guess again!Here’s a little known fact about why you can beat superior competition to the interview and even the job offer – want to know why?Employers want the most suitable candidate who can do the job they need done their way and contribute most effectively to their bottom line!Being able to do this, that and the other is great but being able to adapt your skills at doing this, that and the other to the specific needs of an organisation and make it that everything you do contributes to a company’s bottom line is infinitely better. Get inside the head of the person recruiting for the role for a moment. They want the right skills, they want some decent experience - - but what is it they’re looking for that will make them cherry pick YOUR resume out of a huge pile because YOU pushed the right buttons?Pushing those buttons is easy as long as you have the skills they want and your number #1 priority is the company’s bottom line. Make your opening paragraph scream that you exist to improve their bottom line and you’ll be playing job offers against each other and auctioning yourself to the highest bidder!So – how do you develop the skills to live and breathe bottom lines as well as being disgustingly good at what you do?*Drum roll please*- - Business Awareness Training. Quite possibly one of the smartest investments anyone on the job market or thinking of entering the market or even going for an internal promotion can make. Taking the time and investing a little bit of ‘fun money’ can make you the person for the job beyond a shadow of doubt. Yeah it may not be in your job description to understand how businesses run, and it won’t increase your technical knowledge of whatever field you have chosen..…but beating your competition – even the more qualified and more experienced – is all about going the extra mile. And training yourself to be able to adapt your knowledge and talents to fit your company’s requirements like a glove is going the extra marathon. Business awareness training is not mandatory or required when you are a skilled worker – but if you’re up against stiff competition and you want to market yourself in a way that really stands out and sparkles? Learn what your employers really want from you and how you can fit right in and hit the ground running from the word go. Invest in yourself – invest in business awareness training
