Getting You're First Job Using the Four P's

Product

Place

Promotion

Price

Those are the four P's of marketing. You can apply these four principles to help yourself get a job that you want. But how?

Product- You are the product. You have to show you're potential through what you have to offer. You have to show what qualities you have, what "features" or skills you have to get the job done. If a potential employer knows what kind of skills you actually posses it will help you stand out of the crowd.

Place- You need to show where you will be most useful. One of the worst things that you can is get employed in an area of the company where you will not be as helpful and not shine. Let you're employer know where you're skills will be the most useful to the company. 

Promotion- You need to promote yourself of course. Advertise yourself to the employer. Make yourself shine because the reality is you're not going to be the only one looking to get the job. Try to make yourself look good. Maybe talk about some hobbies and how you have helped you're community or maybe some personal achievements. 

Price- You need to be realistic, you're probably not worth $100,000 a year. When you are first getting out of college you probably don't have a family and the last thing on you're mind is saving for retirement. Be realistic with how much you're worth at you're position you are trying to get. Maybe sneak in there that you can do the job for less. You never know, it could help. The most important thing is to just get you're foot in the door, you can work you're way up the ladder from there.
