Overcome Objections in your Job Search

You must learn to overcome objections throughout your job search. Objections are a reality in any type of sales process and must be viewed as buying signs or a request for more information. When you hear an objection, you have two choices:

 

 

  1. Hang up and contact the next person on your list. Obviously this is not very effective.
  2. Overcome the objection which could provide you with results.

Your job search is a learning process. The first time you hear a new objection, you will probably not have an effective rebuttal. However, you should take time to practice what you should have said so you are not stopped by the same objection more than once. We have training audios in our Career Portal Library that address the most common objections and how to counter them effectively under the Interviewing Icon.

If you don’t know how to overcome a specific objection, participate in our live weekly training webinars and we will role play responses you can use. There is only one objection you can’t overcome and that is silence. If an individual had NO interest, they would not be talking to you. It is empowering, when you realize you can overcome objections and keep the conversation going.

MUST READ
It is important to form lifetime connections with every individual you meet throughout your job search process. This also includes the individuals who were involved in the interviewing process of companies who did not hire you. Hiring authorities are usually well connected and you never know what doors they could open for you in the future.

Duke Witte absolutely was amazing! 

I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Duke Witte for his assistance in finding me a new job in the hospitality industry. I was disgruntled with my previous job, and I was feeling very discouraged about my prospects. I had been working in the restaurant industry for many years, and I had a lot of experience and skills, but I was having a hard time finding a better opportunity.

I was contacted via LinkedIn by Duke, and thank goodness I was.  Mr. Witte was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand my skills and experience, and worked tirelessly to find me a job that was a good fit.

Duke was also very honest and upfront with me about the job market. He didn't sugarcoat things, but also didn't give up on me. He kept me motivated and encouraged, and never gave up on finding me a job that I would love.

I am so grateful to Duke Witte and his team for their help. I am now happily employed, and I am so happy that I was able to find a job that I love. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a job in the restaurant industry. He is a true professional, and is dedicated to helping his clients find the perfect job!

Thank you again for everything!

Working with Chris Bovio made job searching so much easier! 

Not only was he available and involved in my search, but also knowledgeable regarding the position. Chris used his industry experience and recruiting network to find the best position for me and my skill set. My only regret is that my new job is so perfect for me that I won’t need to use Chris or Patrice & Associates later.

Thanks,

Bryan Curtis was fantastic to work with!

Bryan was very on top of things throughout my recruiting process to the engineering firm I accepted my position with.  I responded to his LinkedIn posting and heard back from him within 24 hours. He continually spoke with me throughout the process checking in regularly and answering all my questions. Bryan was instrumental in helping me find a great job.

Thanks!
