OFFERING A CHALLENGE

Presenting an opportunity will takerepparttar 139183 employer a long way inrepparttar 139184 direction of making a decision in your favor. However, a challenge is needed in order forrepparttar 139185 employer to feel like they need to make a decision imminently. The challenge doesn't have to come from you: it can come from an outside source. For example, if you've offered a compelling opportunity and their boss told them a decision has to be made today, they may feel challenged to make a decision for that reason.

If you've ever seenrepparttar 139186 movie "Glenn Gary, Glenn Ross" with Al Pacino, Alec Baldwin and Kevin Spacey, you may rememberrepparttar 139187 line "ABC: Always Be Closing." Offering a challenge is closely related withrepparttar 139188 idea of closing. However, no one wants to feel like they're being "closed." No one wants to feel like they're being manipulated. But ifrepparttar 139189 person feels like they have to make a decision, it can be beneficial to you (assumingrepparttar 139190 opportunity you presented is compelling). If you came across as very impressive inrepparttar 139191 interview and discussion of opportunities,repparttar 139192 employer may already feel challenged to make a decision because they don't want another company to take you first. You can subtly offer a challenge yourself by mentioning you have received another offer which you haven't decided on yet (if that's true). Remember, you don't wantrepparttar 139193 employer to perceiverepparttar 139194 challenge as artificial. If they do see it that way, they'll feel like you're trying to "sell" them.

SUMMING UP

In summary, effective selling in job search situations is about inspiringrepparttar 139195 employer to see you as being highly valuable and getting them to feel a sense of challenge when it comes to being able to hire you. Some ineffective selling techniques, such as calling after an interview to just "inquire" about your application status, can be counterproductive and can make you come across as less valuable. When it comes to interviewing, it's more important to get it rightrepparttar 139196 first time and make a good impression onrepparttar 139197 first try.
