If you are a financial professional and are struggling with getting noticed either by financial advisor recruitment firms or at work, there are things you can do differently to increase your visibility.
Most people focus on their core area of expertise and not enough on implementing strategies that will get them noticed.
Below is information on how you can go about capturing the attention of key financial executives.
GETTING NOTICED BY FINANCIAL ADVISOR RECRUITING FIRMS
If you are between jobs or are not happy with your current job and want to get noticed by a financial advisor recruiting firm, the following tips may be helpful.
One great way to increase your visibility is to become more active within your industry.
With the popularity of social media, it’s highly probable that you will increase your visibility the more you are involved with industry related groups‌
‌attend industry related conferences, participate in industry based online forums and respond to newsworthy Tweets or to whatever is trending.
It is also important when adding updates concerning your most recent accomplishments to your professional social media page...
… such as Facebook, or LinkedIn, that you be sure to:
Use relevant industry-based keywords Show yourself as an expert Have an active updated social media profile
You will also increase the chances of attracting highly regarded financial advisor recruiting firms seeking experts in your field.
GETTING NOTICED AT WORK
If your goal is to get noticed at work, there are some basic things that you can do as well as some strategic things that you can do to capture more attention by the right people at work.
One of the first things to do is make sure you fit in well with the corporate climate. What that means is that you have a great understanding of the corporate culture‌
...and that you abide by the policies and procedures - from basic procedures such as: ďƒźPunctuality ďƒźGood communicating skills
Dressing appropriately
Being courteous Pleasant to be around
Respecting yourself and others
To the complex ones such as:
Operations Compliance
Regulatory issues
However, to get noticed for your work, you may have to be a lot more strategic.
Make sure you’re solid in your area of expertise and have multiple “wins” and “successes.”
If you prove yourself reliable when and where it counts, you could easily become the go-to person that your boss learns to turn to and trust.
It’s also very important to make sure that your presence is felt at every meeting and on every project that you are part of.
Also, it’s important to do your research in advance so that you provide solid, concrete, facts whenever you speak.
Lastly, if you show your boss that you can be trusted with confidential information, possess leadership abilities, are capable of pulling off major projects with ease‌
…go over and above the call of duty (without appearing desperate or as though you’re trying too hard,) you will provide the right balance…
‌which in turn will lend itself to creating the perfect image that gets you noticed in the workplace.
