themselves for their desired
positions.

“When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going”
To get a job or a highly-specialized career
opportunity, candidates need to develop a tough skin and do everything
right.
The job market is tougher than ever.
Here are some best practices to follow:
Be Focused
• Identify the best resources to help you get the position you want.
• Seek out and leverage the resources that serve your industry of interest.
• They can range from industry-specific career opportunity resources, like PharmStorm.com for the pharmaceutical industry, to industry associations.
Best Practices to Follow
Show Initiative
Decide what companies you would like as your employer and send your cover letter, resume and
professional reference letter specifically to those companies.
Best Practices to Follow
Make Connections
Attend industry and business trade shows,
conferences and networking events to
make as many contacts as possible. Follow-up with these potential
“connectors” to see if they can help you in your
career opportunity search.
Best Practices to Follow
Be Professional
• Always deliver the best first impression on your interview by being:– Courteous– Professional– Well-groomed– Professionally dressed– A good communicator– A good listener
Best Practices to Follow
“Get Noticed and Get Hired”
Get Personal
Tell your story in a way that presents you as a quality individual; someone with a strong work ethic and
core values, who is a team player, and an individual with the experience and passion for the position.
Project Confidence
When speaking with a prospective employer, believe in yourself and project confidence,
conviction and a “can do” attitude.
Be Courteous
Conduct yourself like a professional. Send a well-written and respectful letter to confirm meetings
and follow-up meetings with an expression of thankfulness.
Put The Employer First
Remember that the prospective employer has a need that you are being considered to meet. Direct your
communications in a way which demonstrates you are aware of the employer’s needs and ready and able to
provide your services.
“Develop Your Resume/Profile for the Position You Want”
• What position are you seeking?
• Is your resume and career profile designed to make you look like the best candidate for that position?
Highlight your qualifications, skills and experience that best position you for the position you want…not the positions you have held.
