Do you position yourself as a substitute?
If you do, you will be treated like a commodity when you are in your jobsearch and by default you become easier to substitute. Hiring professionals have choices - plenty of choices even when it comes to C-level candidates. That's the nature of a commodity - if one is not suitable, there's always another one around the corner.
Why are you being considered a substitute instead of the chosen one? The problem lies with your resume or Linkedin profile or even both. It it's boring or looks just like anyone of your peers', why do you think it's going to help you get the next promotion or coveted management role? You can't submit an average resume and expect to be put in a premium position.

EFFECTIVE JOBSEARCH - ARE YOU A JOB BEGGAR?
Thorough and strategic planning required. No short cuts! Many jobseekers, out of desperation, rush to apply for job roles without any prior researching or forethought to determine if these suit them or their skillsets. Not only will this pretty much guarantee rejection, it will dampen your spirit and confidence.
In today's economy and job market, you will hear and receive 'NO' more often than you hear 'YES'. You must at all cost avoid becoming a "JOB BEGGAR" - one who is desperate to take anything that comes along one's way.
Maintain confidence. Cultivate resilience. Don't squander your chance by applying for jobs far outside your skills range where you are likely to be rejected anyway.
Seek advice from career management strategy professionals. Consult resume experts. It's worth every cent. Ensure your resume is unique and current. And above all, your resume has to be marketing-centric.

WHY SHOULDN'T YOU WRITE YOUR OWN RESUME/CV?
Why shouldn't you write your own resume/cv?
Well, it's like looking in the mirror and giving yourself a haircut! Quite frankly, you won't do such a thing just to save some dollars. What's more with your resume! It's not easy to objectively write a dynamic resume. Some who opt the DIY or go-it-alone method often end up with a disastrous result.
It's your CAREER we're talking about. How much can you really save if your job applications get tossed out? How much money are you saving by being out of work for longer or stuck in a lower paying job without much prospect? If you just sit down and do a simple calculation, you will realise you are losing thousands of dollars - just because you didn't want to pay a few hundred dollars for a professionally-crafted resume. Not a good investment, isn't it?
A Resume Writing Professional and Career Management Strategist can help you increase your employer appeal by developing your IMAGE and building your PERSONAL BRANDING. It's worth investing a small sum in engaging a professional to do up your resume, linkedin profile or executive profile.
