are not always selecting the best candidates in term of academic results or
the most experience in the field to fill up their job vacancies. What
actually make those success candidates in an interview session stand out of
crowd and be successfully secured the job? You must be surprised to the
answer from most employers: Self-motivation on how a person is committed to
the job that made them being offered to the job position.

crowd. The question is how are you going to demonstrate to the employers
that you are motivated and be able to commit to the job if you are offered
with the job?

with the job offer, but the employer may not be able to see through your action
if you don't demonstrate it. How to demonstrate you are self-motivated? You may
ask. Fortunately, it isn't all that difficult as you may think to prove that you
are a good self-motivation person. In fact, it can be surprisingly easy to do
through some simple actions that may, on the surface, seem like nothing special.
If you demonstrate these actions, you are showing that you are self-motivated
that will automatically make you stand out from crowd and being noticed by
employers.
1. Conducting Informal Interviews with Employers
Let the employers see your self-motivation by contacting the prospective
employers to learn more about the career opportunities in their company. The
companies may not have any vacant position for new hiring at the moment, but
you can show your initiative by contacting the employers and have an
informal discussion or a short interview with the employers to see any
possibility to start your career there in the future. You could also hand in
your resume to the employers to review and remind the employers to call you
for a formal interview when there are vacant positions that meet your career
interest.
2. Tailor Your Resumes and Cover Letters To Each Company's Need
Do you know that some differences on your resumes or cover letters may make
you stand out from crowd? Most of job applicants are using the standard
format of resumes and cover letters. Imagine that when the employer screen
through the stack of application letters and reviews the resume of each
applicant, if they see one that is tailored to the company's need, they
definitely will pay an attention on it and resulting in positive impression.
You are showing the employer that you are spending time and effort to write
your resume and application letter to their specific needs. With that, you
have offered tangible evidence of your self-motivation.
3. Doing Something Out of the Ordinary
During your internship or summer job or any volunteering work that you have
done for a company for free or specific projects during your college time,
try to do something that is out of the ordinary. For example you may offer
yourself to develop a website for a local nonprofit organization or
volunteer yourself for doing the evaluation tests to help in finding
solution for a problem, or you can even develop a project to meet the
company specific needs. In these cases, you are showing a self-motivation
behavior and these companies may approach you for a job after your
graduation.
Summary
Self-motivation is very important to make you stand out from crowd and being
noticed by employers. Don't just tell employers that you are a
self-motivated person, instead, show to them with your actions. |
