When putting together your six figure job search strategy, there's one thing you need to keep in mind. Until an employer knows you - until anyone knows you - you are nothing but a commodity. Like a can of soup in an aisle of 600 cans of soup.
The key to getting and keeping an employer's attention is creating your unique selling proposition in your resume and any other communication, like your online profile. Your USP is your combination of skills, experience, achievements and education - no one else in the world has this particular combination.
But to really get paid what you're worth, you need to articulate your expertise. What are you better at than anyone else? What is the most dramatic way you have affected the bottom line of the companies you have worked for? And most importantly, what problems do you solve for an employer - what gaps do you fill that they desperately need?
When you can effectively explain this to an employer, you stop being just another candidate for an open position, and you become a true investment for them.
Remember, if you're a generic can of soup, they'll pay generic can of soup prices if they hire you.
