Overview: Policies and Outcomes
Introduction
To be successful at acquiring a dream job (and do not accept anything less!), you must leverage the skills and knowledge you have obtained in this course and your professional career. The professionals who receive an opportunity to interview are often picked from a large number of applicants. Normally, an institution will initially interview 2–4 candidates. Your ability to network, review job descriptions, prepare materials for an interview, and actually interview is of great importance. The interview is the magic carpet to your future! As you approach a possible job negotiation, you must use leadership, communication, and negotiation skills to let your future employer know that you are the best candidate for the job.
Securing the Dream Job
There are many ways to go about successfully acquiring a job. The opportunity to have a face-to-face interview is easier than ever because of the opportunities to connect through many technical platforms such as Skype or similar apps. The assignment this week—securing the dream job—provides an opportunity to showcase your ability to persuade a potential interviewer that you are the best candidate for the job.
