Job hunting? Believe it or not, you already have a job. Job
hunting is your job. At least it is if you want to find a job,
find it quickly, and have it be a job you want. So how do you
make your job hunt work for you?
Quality Resume
An effective job hunt begins with an effective resume. Your resume
isn't something you should gloss over or whip up quickly. The
quality of your resume will make or break you.
Spend a lot of time
on writing your resume, polish it, and make it as good as it can
possibly be. You may even want to consider hiring a professional
resume writer to put together your resume for you.
Make sure to check your resume for mistakes. In fact, have a few
other people you trust to proofread it for you as well. You just
can not have typos or spelling mistakes in your resume.
If you can't keep those out of one page of information that you need to
get a job interview, how are you going to perform on the job?
That's what your potential employer is going to wonder.
Avoid Interview Mistakes
In a survey done by a staffing firm with 1,400 chief financial officers,
it was concluded that most job candidates made their crucial mistakes
during the interviews. The top mistakes included:
* Arriving Late
* Not being familiar with the company
* Not knowing anything about the particular position you are interviewing
for
* Acting arrogantly
* Poor body language
Avoid these types of mistakes in the interview and your job hunt will
be way ahead of most of your competition.
Answer Questions Confidently and Smartly
Most interviewees are nervous in an interview. This is because they
are unprepared by not knowing the company or the job position. This
leads to nervousness that causes them to fumble even the questions
that they know. Thus, they blow an interview for a job that they are
perfectly qualified to do.
If you don't know an answer to a question, be honest and say so. And
then say you may not know the answer, you can get the answer.
If you know the company and the position, you'll be able to talk about
your strengths that match the companies.
If you can follow these three job hunting tips you'll be well on your way
to an effective and successfully completed job search.
