Another day, another set of potential issues/interviews. The most intriguing of the day is a position for an RFP/Grant Writer for a financial concern here in the Twin Cities. Working on RFPs all day requires similar skills to those one must exhibit in the job search. You must provide cogent, thorough answers as economically as possible, buttressed with factual statements. You have to differentiate yourself. You also have to accept defeat, often rather a lot. Competition is tough and clients have become increasingly savvy to the strengths and weaknesses of service providers. There are very few places to hide in today’s marketplace. Companies that do not perform are littering the roadway. And they are often dressed in failed RFPs.
It sounds like a challenge worth trying.
