"Job-hunting requires the basic selling skills. You are the most valuable product on planet earth. If you cannot sell yourself, you can sell nothing in life. So you need to strategize to market yourself to get the best price. Job-hunting is a full time job and it cannot be delegated. You need to discover your Unique Selling Propositions (USPs), package them attractively and design your marketing communication tools like CVs/Cover Letters and open channels of distribution. You need to market your personal brand like an organization manages its product portfolio." Ashraf Chaudhry
