KNOW YOUR KPI’S

“Key Performance Indicators, also known as KPI or Key Success Indicators (KSI), help an organization (you) define and measure progress toward organizational goals. Once an organization (you) has analyzed its mission, identified all its stakeholders, and defined its goals, it needs a way to measure progress toward those goals. Key Performance Indicators are those measurements.”


KNOW YOUR KPI’S


Your Job Search Key Performance Indicators are quantifiable measurements, that are agreed upon beforehand, that reflect the critical success factors of your job search. The KPI’s will differ for each individual job seeker depending on what you want to accomplish.

KNOW YOUR KPI’S


What Key Performance Indicators might you use in your job search? Remember these are measurable goals. Take a few moments and write them down. We will share them with the group.

Question - Who Reads Your Submitted Application?

Answer – Human Resources uses a computer to streamline their process and weed out everyone that is not a 100% match (that’s everyone).

We need to use counter-intuitive thinking behavior to win!



Why do Many Companies Post Jobs? To:

• Build their ‘Futures’ databases • See what type of candidate is NOW available • Test the waters for certain skill sets • Check salary levels on potential candidates for

what the market will bear if and when they add • Identify what Keywords & Phrases are ‘hot’ and

attractive to candidates NOW



Many of the BIG JOB BOARDS have transitioned into advertising agencies!

Social media is used in a number of ways. It helps recruiters have a more clear idea of who you are and what you have done before they even talk with you. They also pick up clues about your personality and how you might fit into their corporate culture.

In your use of social media, employers/recruiters can see or have an indication of:

• How well you communicate (your spelling, punctuation, and grammar as well as your ability to clearly communicate ideas)

• Your work history and education • Your industry knowledge • Your use of alcohol • Your use of illegal substances • Your use of profanity • How you spend your non-work time

Q&A


CONTENT OVERVIEW

In the job search, too many times to we offer up that we are on time for work, neat and organized, and will do a great job. In the eyes of the hiring manager or recruiter, they think to themselves…“yeah, you and everyone else I interview”. This training session is designed to get the students to begin to think outside the box and use the skillsets that they have acquired over the years to set them apart from everyone competing for the same position. We will also talk about the “black hole syndrome” and how to avoid falling into that trap of continual resume submitting with zero returns.
