The next time you go to a job interview, what will you say about your prior jobs? At Labor Solutions, we want to know how your previous experience has led to your current aptitudes, so if you’ve got something to be proud of, let’s hear about it!
How to Toot Your Own Horn
Some people are reluctant to talk about their past achievements because they don’t want to be seen as a braggart. However, there are ways to brag on yourself without seeming narcissistic. Here are some tips from Labor Solutions on how to do that.
- Connect the dots. Review the job description for the position that you’re applying for and look for ways that you can connect your past success to the skills the employer is seeking.
- Make good use of your cover letter. When you craft a cover letter to send to a specific employer with your resume, use that to mention how your previous experiences can benefit their company in concrete ways.
- Cultivate confidence. Start the day with positive affirmations and avoid saying negative things about your past jobs or your performance at them. Set up a practice interview with the professionals at Labor Solutions to help you get comfortable with answering questions about yourself and presenting your history in the best possible light.
- Use social media to your benefit. LinkedIn is the perfect place for you to list your professional accomplishments and describe in more detail how you were able to achieve what you did. Make use of this site and any others you use professionally to highlight the things you’re most proud of.
