Applying for jobs can be a challenging journey, but with the right approach, you can navigate it successfully. Since 2020, I have been propagating ‘Magic 6’ – a powerful strategy to help you stand out and secure your dream job. Here’s how you can master each element of the Magic 6:

1. Acing Interview Skills

Interviews are your chance to shine and show potential employers why you’re the perfect fit for the role. Preparation is key. Research the company thoroughly and understand their mission, values, and recent achievements. Practice common interview questions and develop your STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) stories. Show enthusiasm and confidence, and be sure to ask insightful questions to demonstrate your interest in the position. You can review a mock interview on my Youtube channel.

2. Resume Writing

Your resume is your first impression. Make it count. Highlight your achievements, skills, and experiences that are most relevant to the job you’re applying for. Use bullet points for clarity and ensure there are no typos. Tailor your resume for each application, focusing on keywords from the job description to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). A recruiter spend a max of 1 minute on a relevant resume. Make sure yours is appealing.

3. Technical and Soft Skills

Having a balance of technical and soft skills is crucial. Employers look for candidates who are not only proficient in their technical abilities but also excel in communication, teamwork, and problem-solving. Continuously improve your skills through online courses, workshops, and real-world practice. Demonstrate your competencies with specific examples in your resume and during interviews.

4. LinkedIn Presence

In today’s digital age, your LinkedIn profile is an extension of your resume. Ensure it’s up-to-date, professional, and reflective of your resume. Use a professional photo and write a compelling summary. Share industry-relevant content and engage with posts to increase your visibility. Employers often check your online footprint, so make sure it’s impressive. Engage with industry leaders and focus on becoming a thought leader. With the right engagement and following, you will start being approached by headhunters and companies based on your rapport.

5. Networking

Networking is essential for the community to endorse you. Personal branding sets you apart from the competition. Define your unique value proposition and communicate it consistently across all platforms. This includes your resume, LinkedIn profile, and during interviews. Highlight what makes you unique and how your background and skills make you the ideal candidate for the roles you’re applying for. Make sure you attend any event where you can get a chance to introduce yourself

6. Being a Cultural Fit

Companies want to hire individuals who align with their culture and values. Research the company’s culture and demonstrate how you fit into it during the interview process. Share examples of how your values and work style align with the company’s mission and culture. Being a cultural fit not only helps you get the job but also ensures long-term job satisfaction. Its not necessary that you can fit in any company as your values and way of working might differ, but it is important to know if you will be a great fit or not
