Common sense you tell you that when you contact the management looking for a job you need to be knowledgeable about what they do there. What are their needs and wants in an employee? Are you the one that can fulfill those requirements?

If you do not currently possess those skills, get them. Practically everything you could possible need to learn you can get from night schools or the Internet. You can even convince many employers to do it as on-the-job training.

My friend is a career coach and I was amazed as her skills in sifting through people's career to pull out different job skills. She then re-packages a person's resume to show the skills the prospective employer wants. Often an outside person needs to be the one to help us figure these skills out for us. The reason is we are so close to the action we may not have realized how many people we interact with each day. That means we have people skills, but in our minds that was not part of our job, even though it really was.

When you take a moment and think about all the different skills that are required to do any job, we quickly become multi-talented. I remember being hired once for a single line a past employer put in a reference letter. It said I had experience in a fairly narrow expertise and this new employer really needed that skill. They hired me on the spot and it turned into the greatest experience of my working career.

Now you may not be a world expert at all your past job requirements but there is normally is a grace period when you start a new job. Typically during this time the staff is extra helpful with your questions. Take this time to figure out what you need to be doing there. If you past experience doesn't give you enough skills for this job, count on you having about 3 months to get them.

However once you are on the inside of the company you are in a better position to know what they want and need from you and to figure out ways to get those skills I recommend that you just do it fast.

Spend some time thinking about your past jobs and the skills you gained from having them, you may already have the skills you need to get that dream job.
