When Your Job Is To Find A Job
Job Hunting Tips
Are you a fresh graduate and planning to look for a job? Did
you just recently quit your job and are looking for greener
pastures? Are you unemployed and have little experience
regarding ways to secure a job? Whatever your situation may be,
it would be to your advantage to study the following tips:
Check your resume for mistakes
Before submitting your resume to a prospective employer, check
your resume for corrections at least three times before handing
it over. After researching about the job position, it is
critical that you format your resume to match the needs of the
company. For example, if you are applying for an accounting job,
you should put in detail your accounting experience on your
resume. Typographical and grammatical errors are serious
no-no's. It is also ideal to keep the length of the resume' to
at least a page and a half long.
Taking the interview challenge
A survey conducted by a staffing and consulting firm based in
California which corresponded with 1,400 chief financial
officers concluded that candidates for employment made most of
their mistakes on their interviews. Some of the mistakes they
made include: arriving late, having little knowledge about the
company and the position applied for, and having a superiority
complex and behaving arrogantly. The body language of the
applicant must also denote that he is confident yet not
overpowering. He must maintain eye contact, have a strong
handshake, and avoid looking defensive by the act of crossing
the arms. Wearing the right clothes is crucial for projecting a
confident stance. As they say, it is better to go to an
interview over-dressed than being under-dressed.
Answer questions smartly
A common mistake of interviewees is that they tend to get tense
and forget the questions that are given to them, which has the
effect that they are not prepared for the interview. It is
important to research about the company and the position applied
for to prevent being side-tracked during the interview. If you
do not know the answer to the questions being asked, it is
better to admit you don't know the answer to the question and
add that you can research about it. Look for the skills or
expertise that the company is looking for so that when interview
day comes and the interviewer asks about your strengths and core
competencies, you will be able to match it to what they need.
Getting the necessary referrals
Having a referral from one of the company employees can go a
long way toward landing an interview. A typical company may
receive
job applications in the hundreds and usually 35% to 60%
of all job vacancies are filled by referrals. The odds of
getting hired when you have a referral are very high if you have
another 200 to 500 applicants vying for the same position. If
you do not know anyone from the company that may give you a
referral, it is a good idea to the alumni network of your
college, trade groups, social networks, and professional
associations. Remember, having a referral greatly increases your
chances of getting the position.
On online application
With the current trend of technology and its merging with
business processes, more and more companies are now requiring
prospective applicants to submit their application online. Thus,
first impressions are relayed not by your first appearance but
by the quality and content of your e-mail. E-mails regarding job
application should be polished and well-articulated. When
applying on-line, use the following tips:
Complete your sentences and do not abbreviate.
Employers do not like when you send them application letters
that seem to be too casual. It is important to make a letter
that is both formal and well written. This gives a good
impression regarding your capabilities and skills.
Get directly to the point
When writing an application letter, you must be concise and
straightforward. Do not put a story on the letter just to get
the attention of the employer, chances are he or she will just
get irritated with you and this only reduces your chances of
getting hired.
Consider potential issues that may hinder you from getting the
job
Although there are instances wherein there is a lot of need for
a job but the requirements for the position may entail training
programs that may bar you from getting the position due to its
highly competitive nature. Some require a lot of experian even
at least 3 years of work experience. Some may have no barriers
to entry but the job itself may entail a very routine work flow.
Getting the job you want may be a challenge but never lose hope.
It is better to wait a while and get the job that you will enjoy
rather than get a job as soon as possible but ending up
dissatisfied and unhappy. Make the right decision then act on
it.
