Just like any other kind of project, your job search needs structure. Here are some tips on how to manage your \u00ab opportunity table \u00bb the right way.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u00c0 partir du moment o\u00f9 l\u2019on contacte plus d\u2019un employeur, l\u2019id\u00e9e de colliger les informations reli\u00e9es \u00e0 chaque soumission \u00e0 l\u2019int\u00e9rieur d\u2019un document (votre \u00ab tableau d’opportunit\u00e9s \u00bb) tombe sous le sens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Compiling all the information linked to your different applications in a document (an \u00ab opportunity table \u00bb) makes sense as soon as you contact more than one company, as Alexandra Bourassa, Employment Counselor explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab Job hunters should do more follow-ups on their applications. To facilitate this process, I encourage hunters to create a table in which they put the name of the company they apply at, the target position, and the communication channel they used \u00bb, she explained during our interview.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of this process\u2019 interests is to keep important information on hand, knowing in order to know when to re-engage with the company. The counsellor recommends to wait for a working week before following-up on your application. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab In time of a pandemic, hiring processes are slowed down for all companies, that is why it is important for you to remind them of your application. By email or by telephone, remind them of your name, your target position and your interest, adding that you sent your resume and cover letter at that date, hence the table\u2019s value. \u00bb<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a book on job hunting, Harry Freedman<\/a> proposes an \u00ab opportunity list \u00bb that job hunters can fill with their professional contacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

For inspiration, here is what the list looks like :<\/span><\/p>\n

Becoming your services\u2019 salesman<\/strong><\/h3>\n

More than an aide-memoire, an opportunity list can become the central tool of your job hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n

When thinking about it, looking for a job is a lot similar to a salesman\u2019s mission. Instead of selling companies products or punctual services, we contact them to sell our professional services as a permanent employee.<\/span><\/p>\n

In that mindset, companies become \u00ab\u00a0prospects \u00bb with which we need to develop relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n

From then, we can start using our opportunity list to arrange our \u00ab leads \u00bb (companies where we kind of want to apply at) and our \u00ab prospects \u00bb (high potential companies that we have already contacted).<\/span><\/p>\n

Salesmen highly value the way they \u00ab qualify \u00bb their leads – they look for the best person to contact in a company – but also making sure they understand their engagement preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n

What communication channel do they prefer? What pushes them to make decisions? What challenges are they facing in their industries? We can add all of these information in our opportunities table.<\/span><\/p>\n

We obtain a document containing all the important and pertinent informations on targeted companies, as well as a report on our interactions with them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adding one or two selling points to support our applications will give us the \u00ab perfect \u00bb opportunity table to help us job hunt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Good luck!<\/p>\n
