I Have What You Need

As I continue chronicling my job search, I try to find ways that will make a prospective employer know that "I have what they need".  Today I was at a professional staffing agency to discuss any potential job opportunities they might have for me.  She asked me several questions and it occurred to me that I already had everything she was looking for in my Marketing Plan.  I developed a marketing plan to "market" myself.  This plan was a tool I thought I would use when networking with people.  The recruiter was quite impressed that I had a "Plan".  It contained information about my Professional Objective, Positioning Statement, Preferred Functions, a table with a list of my competencies by category, my target market, my preferred organizational culture and a table with business sectors that I am interested in.  Needless to say, she was impressed with my plan.
Kudos to me for that one....

I truly believe that my advanced computer software knowledge will definitely benefit any organization.  When I read a job description that requires a skill I am not familiar with.  I "Google" it and then I will download free trial versions so I can learn a new skill or I will take a course.  Right now I am taking Visio and MS Project on-line via SkillSoft.  To me this shows initiative.  Don 't you think?

I am also fortunate enough to be technologically savvy.  I can fix minor computer issues.

So if you haven't figured it out yet, "I have what you need"!

Until tomorrow.....
