From Runner-Up to Must-Have Candidate

Crystal came to me with a problem many job seekers face: consistently being the runner-up in job interviews. Despite making it to the final rounds, she always fell just short of receiving the offer. After hearing her story, it was clear to me that Crystal was struggling to effectively communicate her Unique Value Add (UVA) to potential employers. She wasn't just a "nice-to-have" candidate; she was a "must-have" candidate—but she didn't know how to show it. Here's how we changed that narrative and how, just two weeks later, Crystal beat out six other applicants, including an internal candidate, for a job she loved.

Identifying Crystal's UVA 🔍

The first step was to work with Crystal to identify her UVA. This meant diving deep into what made her different and better than any other candidate from the employer's perspective. We focused on her unique blend of skills, experiences, and personal qualities that could bring unparalleled value to the role she was applying for. It wasn't about meeting the job qualifications; it was about exceeding them and showing how she could solve the employer's problems in ways no one else could.  And of course, we used the Career Decoder Quiz to help guide us.

Branding as a Strategy

Once we had a clear understanding of Crystal's UVA, the next step was to teach her how to brand herself around this unique offering. Branding isn't just for products or companies; it's for individuals who want to stand out in a crowded job market. I coached Crystal on how to weave her UVA into every aspect of her job search—her resume, her LinkedIn profile, and most importantly, her interview responses.

Proving She's a Must-Have Candidate 👍

The crux of our strategy was transforming Crystal's interview technique. Instead of merely answering questions, she learned to frame her responses in a way that consistently reinforced her UVA. We practiced storytelling techniques that allowed her to highlight her unique strengths and how they aligned with the company's needs and goals. This approach shifted the narrative from Crystal being a candidate who could do the job to one who could excel in the role and drive the company forward.

The Job Search Accountability Program (JSAP)

To reinforce these strategies, Crystal engaged with the Job Search Accountability Program (JSAP) offered by Work It DAILY. This comprehensive program provided her with the resources, support, and accountability needed to refine her job search tactics further. Through JSAP, she was able to practice her interview skills, receive feedback, and build confidence in her UVA-based branding approach.

Crystal's Victory! 🏆

The hard work paid off. Two weeks after our coaching session, Crystal was offered a job she had dreamed of, outperforming six other candidates, including one who was applying internally. Her success wasn't just due to her qualifications but to how she presented herself as the undeniable best choice for the company. Crystal's story is a powerful example of how understanding and communicating your UVA can change the trajectory of your job search.
