Narrative Expl
Candidate Narrative
Instructions:
The Candidate Narrative aspect of the CIP, Candidate Information Program has become the single most potent tool you can have in your arsenal of marketing products in 2007. There are another 10 examples in the PMSP© book .
When preparing this Candidate Narrative (CN) please write it in the third person, not the first. Describe the candidate as if you were a recruiter marketing you. After all you know "you" better than anyone else. Please give me a good thought out track to run on when I discuss you.
We do understand that this exercise is not easy, but many candidates have said it was very worthwhile, especially in the beginning stages or setting. DCG has used the Narrative, Descriptor, Profile, and the Sales Report as part of CIP for the last five years. Most recently in the WSJ, and the Atlanta Constitution, the narrative has been touted as the tool to use to get a new job. Please mimic what you see in the example below in Word Format.
Please email it to us in Word Format. There is an example below. See PMSP© for others.
Please see the Candidate Information Program and the ACP concept. Remember the HA considers five/seven components in hiring:
Accomplishments
Competencies
Potentials
Risk: Leaders take risks, managers do not
Chemistry
In 2007, even with the alleged turnaround in the economy, there are still seven hiring decisions left to the Hiring Authority. Only one is an offer. See the PMSP©.
The narrative and the rest of the CIP can and will break the ice. Show them why you should be there, lessen their risk of hire, get the offer. Feel and be aware of the HA's pain and fear. Let's get started.
Candidate Initiative Search Assignment -The CISA process allows us, as your advocate, to penetrate to the
invisible positions that are only created by the decision makers and
get you noticed, get you interviewed, and then
get THAT NEXT job.
