Landing the right job: Bob Gerberg on job hunting preparation

Job seekers must first know what the market wants. For respected staffing executive and author Bob Gerberg, knowing the trends in the prevailing job market helps job hunters determine in which aspects they need stepping up so that employers will seriously consider them for the open position.

Matching job skills

According to Gerberg, this can be done by organizing one’s professional accomplishments. Job seekers must catalog all accomplishments to make them suitable for a prospective employer’s job offering. This is also meant to make the potential employer interested in the applicant; employers are often on the lookout for applicants who can provide more than one specialization, which can add great value to their target organization. There are positions higher than their desired positions that applicants can apply for if they market themselves correctly.

According to Bob Gerberg, many clients settle for less than their ideal positions simply because they were not able to effectively communicate their total skill sets to the company they applied for. Gerberg believes that if applicants can communicate at least 10 to 20 skills they possess to the target company, this would be a major game changer in their job search. Communicating one’s true assets can make a significant change for applicants looking for a new pursuit or landing their first job.
