What Will Get You Hired Quicker

In today’s competitive job market, it's not just about what you've done in the past.

Consider this:

Most applicants are showcasing their previous achievements as their main selling point.

This makes it challenging for companies to distinguish between candidates based solely on past successes.

Imagine you're hiring for a project manager. Who would you choose?

Alex, who boasts about leading a project that was completed two weeks ahead of schedule at a previous company?

Or...

Ademola, who not only has a solid track record but also presents a comprehensive strategy for streamlining your current projects, ensuring they are completed X% faster without sacrificing quality?

Ademola stands out, right?

This doesn't mean your past achievements are irrelevant. They're important.

However, relying solely on them to demonstrate your worth is a strategy that will see you lost in the crowd.

To do job searches and job applications differently: consider this

For a Digital Marketer:

❌ Don’t just say (in your cover letters or during interviews): “I increased social media engagement by 40% at my last job.”

✅ Do this instead: I will research your target company’s current social media presence and propose a detailed 6-month content calendar, focusing on engagement strategies such as interactive polls, live Q&A sessions, and targeted ads to increase engagement rates by X% within the next six months.

❌ Don’t just say: “I boosted website traffic by 20% through SEO strategies.”

✅ Do this instead: I will conduct an SEO audit of the company’s website, identify key areas for improvement, and outline a plan to optimize the site structure and content for targeted keywords to boost traffic by X% in the next year.

❌ Don’t just say: “I successfully managed PPC campaigns, reducing cost-per-click by 15%.”

✅ Do this instead: I can analyze the company’s current PPC campaigns, and suggest a refined keyword strategy and ad copy improvements aimed at reducing the cost-per-click by X% while maintaining or increasing conversion rates.

For a Programmer:

❌ Don’t just say: “I optimized database queries, improving application performance.”

✅ Do this instead: I can offer to review the company’s current database architecture and suggest specific optimizations to queries and indexes that could improve application performance, backed by examples from your past work where similar actions led to significant performance enhancements.

❌ Don’t just say: “I developed high-quality code for several applications.”

✅ Do this instead: I can propose a short-term plan for implementing a code review process that emphasizes best practices (W3c validation) and continuous integration, ensuring high-quality code and faster deployment times for the company’s projects.

❌ Don’t just say: “I helped migrate systems to the cloud, reducing infrastructure costs.”

✅ Do this instead: I’ll present a tailored analysis of the company’s current on-premises infrastructure and provide a detailed migration plan to the cloud, highlighting potential cost savings, increased scalability, and improved disaster recovery capabilities.

Hope this helps!
