The tech industry is one of the most competitive spaces for people looking to jump-start their careers. For many, landing a job in tech is no small feat. In fact, they hold the view that tech is one of the most hyper-competitive spaces for one to seek employment.
To get a job in tech, and any other competitive industry for that matter, one needs to change their present point of view.
“Instead, embrace a different perspective and you will discover the fact that the sector you wish to land employment in, is, most likely, worth multiple billions of dollars,” said Issa Asad Florida entrepreneur and businessman since 1996. Mr. Asad is the CEO of Q Link Wireless and Quadrant Holdings, located in South Florida. He is also the author of 4 e-commerce and marketing e-books that can be purchased on Amazon.
Could it truly be impossible, or excessively competitive to land a job in your industry of choice when it currently employs staff in thousands and it spends billions annually? In truth, all top jobs are competitive regardless of the field. Whether you’re a journalist, doctor or lawyer, it’s how you approach the job market that will determine your success. Here, Issa Asad Shares 4 Tips to Land a Job in a Competitive Market:
1. Successful Career Pursuits
So, what does it take to get you the job you crave? Well, here are three traits you must have for your pursuit to be successful. Firstly, your desire to get the job needs to be persistent; something that’s common in tech.
Tremendous persistence and desire is the key to any successful career rise; tech or otherwise. You would be surprised to learn how much some individuals have given up to work in tech and other competitive fields. Most people earning top dollar in tech today had to survive on scraps, work long hours and perform menial tasks just to prove themselves. If you are not prepared to do the same, your chances of a successful career are slim to none.
2. Needed Skills for Success
Most people already have a burning desire to thrive despite the competitive industry. They are just as inspired as you are and have the same intense love and passion. So, what makes you different from all of them?
Whatever field you are looking to enter, Medicine, law, Media or Business, you will need impeccable skill to enable you to carry out assigned tasks perfectly. Consistent practice of these skills should, also, be the norm as it will keep you sharp and knowledgeable about your chosen field. Constant practice will help you broaden your view and add more intent to your pursuit. So, be prepared for whatever employment role you are applying for, whether in tech or not, with the requisite skills and you will get the job done.
3. Have a Need for Knowledge
Finally, you need to constantly pursue knowledge. You will do this by “being interested” rather than “interesting.” Simply put, make use of all possible sources of information and figures available to you. Additionally, and this is the most important bit, be humble and ask for help where and when you need it. Knowledge and radical humility are closely related. Have the ability to ask for help and you will be a step closer to the job of your dreams.
4. Ask for Help
Worth noting is that every single person employed in your desired field started off where you are at today. They probably felt just like you too and didn’t know where to begin to compete with the odds of landing a job close to zero.
They did land that job, however, and they rose up the ladder. Unknown to you is that most of them would be willing to help you kick-start your career whatever field you choose. All you need to do is acknowledge you need the help and then ask.
