One “out-of-the-box” job search strategy is to create an idea for a job and pitch it to a past employer or a target company.
Steps to Creating Your Own Job
Start by identifying Target Companies you would like to work for- Analyze the company to look for a need you can fill
- Create a presentation on the job you are pitching. Include:
- A description of the job duties
- The benefits the company would receive
- Estimated Return on Investment
- Cost reductions
- Cost savings
- Practice your pitch
- Request a meeting to propose a position you could fill in their company that would meet the need
- Follow up after the presentation
