They are suppliers and they are selling their services for ages. They are also a party in the business. Even though there is a slight miss match in the demand and supply still job hoppers are sellers. Times are tough and there are more such people in the market so to be successful, you need to stand out of the crowd. You need to create a strong brand for yourself. Here are some easy ways to do so-
Change your resume into an attractive flyer and distribute it along with the newspapers in the office areas (In case you choose to put your photograph on it, do not use a soft paper, some executives have the habit of taking the newspaper in the toilet and god knows when it would go out of toilet paper and I am sure you would not like your face to be rubbed against…. umm…you know).
Stick your resume flyer on the prominent locations in the restrooms of conference halls, auditoriums, expensive lounges and restaurants. Concentration of people is more in that area and they can actually go through your full flyer (resume) during that nature’s call without any rush.
Linked in is a great tool to enhance your brand value. Try to get endorsed. If won’t succeed, create some fake IDs and use them to praise you. Start a discussion about your work efficiency and problem solving ability using these fake IDs but don’t forget to invite real people into that discussion.
Collaborate to compete. Convince some people and collaborate with them. Praise them and ask them to praise you in return. A good word from someone else is far more credible than praise from one’s own mouth. Cook up some stories about them and make sure they are returning the favor.
Porn sites, Yeh that’s right. Most of the HR executives and managers kill their afternoon time there. You will get a superb exposure. Utilize these sites, place an ad there. Imagine the shock value and the retention when they will see your picture with key words like MBA (Marketing), just beneath a naked lady.
Twitter, last but not the least, use twitter. I don’t know how, somehow. Everyone is using it now days; you should also, even if it’s just for the sake of using.
So these were just some of the very effective ideas to create or enhance your brand. Use them and see the difference. There will be more of such ideas coming, just keep looking.
