Due to Alan Sherwood’s travel schedule with clients, he turns over Host duties to Ben Jones for the Successfully Unemployed show. Ben Jones, PHR is a proven Human Resource and business professional with over 25 years experience in the areas of new business development, hiring qualified people, training and developing talent. He is experienced as a certified sales trainer and adjunct teacher at university level, with career titles including: Owner, Director, and Manager, demonstrating skills as an expert at bringing people, products and profits together to provide solutions and impact lives.
Topic for the show is a discussion on developing your ”Value Proposition Statement”.
It is important to identify your abilities, experience and knowledge, and demonstrate how you can meet the needs of the company and the job. It is the company’s needs that you must fill, not your own. However, by meeting the companies needs, your own needs will also be met.
Most company needs fall into the following areas: increased productivity, greater efficiency, reducing waste, solutions to problems, reliability of people, industry contacts, specialized skills, and creativity. Understanding the value you bring to the employer is so much more than just telling them what you do; it is telling them why you are good at what you do.
