Job Search Tips: Secrets to Good Time Management During Your Job Search

Coping With Executive Job Search Time Lost on Emails During Your Six Figure Executive Job Search

Handling Email—How to Save Time

 

Control your own time. Don't let it be done for you.

If you are working off the in-box that is fed to you,

you are probably working on the priority of others.

—Donald Rumsfeld

  In the process of moving my website www.ConsumerCareerSearch.com to a new server, 23,000 of my emails got misplaced. As you can imagine then, this subject is very near and dear to my heart. I usually like to get my emails down to about 3,000 at one time, but I currently have 12,000 in one of my accounts. That's actually not as bad as it sounds. It's very easy to find yourself reacting to emails that rob your time.

We all really need to get into the habit of realizing that most emails can wait. During the time frame you have committed to working on your executive job search, remember to focus on your goals for that entire duration. If emails come through that are not related to your executive job search goals for that day, then do not address/reply to them until after dinnertime.

That's not to say that you should just let messages pile up in your inbox. Email is another form of incoming communication that needs to be processed and organized. You can approach this task the same way you did your physical paperwork—in terms of creating folders that will act as "processing stations." When I focus on cleaning up my emails, I start by sorting them. I begin this process by clicking the "From" button. Organizing them this way makes it very easy to delete whole categories of message you know you don't need but have not made it to the "junk" and spam folder.

One new feature with Windows 7 and Norton is that Norton has begun pre-marking emails as spam to make it easier to filter and delete them. Be aware that this project can take some time until you're up to speed, so remember to do it after your normal workday hours or on the weekend.

To start, create folders over in your navigation bar where you want to file emails worth saving. When creating each new folder, make sure you are always at the top of the navigation bar. That way, folders will be alphabetized and will not inadvertently become a sub-folder of something non-related. Like all correspondence, when contending with email, deal with it only once. If you can take care of it in two minutes, do so.

The experts say that you should be able to tackle one-third of your email this way. Now create four more folders in your navigation bar: *ACTION*, *WAITING FOR*, *READ/REVIEW*, and *PRINT*. Specific to your executive job search, you can also label four more files: *JSACTIVE *, *JSWORKING ON*, *JSWAITING ON*, and *JS ANSWERS*. Note that when you use the asterisk before these folders' names, they will be alphabetized at the top of the folder list. I suggest you BCC (blind carbon copy) yourself on all emails related to your executive job search. Either that or remember to forward them to yourself from your Send folder. When they reach your inbox, file them in the appropriate folder.

You can also create a special folder for companies with which you have conducted a lot of activity. Check all of these aforementioned folders I have suggested periodically to see if any of the items can be deleted.

To make this whole process easier, make sure you're a good typist. If you are a slow typist, go to a community college and take a course. You want to be able to type at least 50 words a minute. This ability will save you a lot of time.

JobSearch Tips: How to Create a Great Strong Resume

Tips on How to Get Your Executive Job Search Resume Noticed...

Basic Statistics in Today's Market You Need To Understand

   On average, your executive resume will be looked at for only 10 seconds!!

 The average person in today's labor market is in a job for only 2.5 to 3 years.

 After graduating from college, most people can expect to have 12 to 16 jobs in their lifetime.

7 Styles of Resumes You Need to Be Aware Of

There are basically seven types of executive resume forms from which you can choose. You will most likely select the one that best suits your style, with the understanding that in certain unique situations, you may want turn to some of the other alternatives.

1. Reverse chronological (preferred one)

2. Combination type, both chronological and functional

3. Functional

4. Biographical letter (the "no resume" resume)

5. "Handbill" resume and mini resume

6. "Tell-all" resume

7. Targeted resume

Overall Recap

Initially, spend most of your time building your accomplishment list. Then focus on creating a quality "Summary" that will successfully position you for the type of job you want to interview for. At the same time, differentiate yourself from the other executive job candidates who are vying for the same position. Set a timer for 10 seconds and conduct a mock pre-interview with a friend. When the timer goes off, have your friend tell you what they know about you and your professional executive background based on reading/scanning your resume for 10 to 15 seconds. If you are not happy with their answer, look at your resume and try to figure out where you message is breaking down.

Bear in mind that 90% of people finding executive jobs are currently succeeding through networking. Keep working on your list of 200 target companies. In your research, you will uncover what traits and qualities they are looking for in an executive employee. That is precisely the information you need to customize in your executive resume, executive cover letters, and executive follow-up letters to them.

Remember in your initial contact with a company to send a two-page customized executive resume that is detailed but brief. You want to entice the executive hiring authority into asking for additional information. That will necessitate him or her having to reach out to you to set up an interview. Save your long, full executive resume for your second face-to-face interview.

After you have completed your first interview, you will have a better idea of how to customize your executive resume to address the company's specific needs. This is Marketing 101.

Remember that you are the product. Keep doing this method over and over for every target company, and before you know it, you'll have sold yourself. You will find this information in my recently released new book CLICK BOOK COVER for more information Before I leave you today, I would like to leave you with a thought for today . . .  

Capitalize on Your Strengths

Thomas Alva Edison was almost deaf. But he didn't waste

valuable time trying to teach himself to hear. Instead, he

concentrated on the things he did best: thinking, organizing,

and creating. And he became great because of it.
