Pre-Note: If you already have your resume made with us, perfect. You should also have the free checklist we gave you, too. Those two items are the prequel to the advice we’re providing in this article. If you haven’t had your resume with us yet, this article will still help you tremendously during any interviews you may already have. Check out the case study we held here to see why Resumes Beyond will increase your interviews by at least 300%.
Let me also start off by letting you know what this article isn’t for. This article is not to teach you how to dominate your next interview. The goal is to provide you with the right mentality the next time you’re face-to-face with a potential employer.
You’re a salesman and don’t know it
If anyone reading this has ever done sales, you should’ve learned early on one of the biggest lessons in sales. It’s called “The Law of Averages.” Most likely what you learned might be called something different, but when you’re doing sales most strategies are universal. Basically the “Law of Averages” says, if you put your product in front of enough people, eventually someone is going to buy it.
Of course that law works both ways… If you talk to zero people, you can’t sell anything. When you’re looking for a job (believe it or not), the product you’re selling is yourself! So if you think you’ve never done sales before, think again, because you’re being forced to sell yourself. This article will teach you how to do that a little (hopefully a lot) better.
You’ve probably heard in passing that you have to be able to sell yourself, or make yourself marketable, right? Well your resume should do that, and it does it before you ever have a chance to talk to a potential recruiter/interviewer. But you can read more on that here, because this article is about taking control of the actual interview, so…
