Target your
resume – when preparing for
resumes, make sure it’s targeted
for a particular job. Don’t just
use the same resume for 10
different jobs.
Be
prepared
– Have your resume with you at
all times, also it is a good
idea to have fresh copies of you
resume prepared in case you are
called up for an interview at
the last minute.
Have a
buddy system
– it is always a good idea to
catch up with friends that are
also looking for jobs. Arrange a
weekly, fortnightly meeting to
exchange advice and talk about
accomplishments, strategies, and
plans.
Follow
leads immediately
- If you find out about a
position late in the day, call
right then. Don't wait until the
next day.
Know
your industry
- you should remain up-to-date
on current issues or development
in your field. Having knowledge
of the latest coup in the
industry is one way to impress
an employer during an interview.
Stay
confident
– Job hunting is almost a full
time job in itself. So be
prepared to tough it out. Don’t
be disgruntled if you get
rejected, get back up and try
again. It is not uncommon for
job seekers to take up to 3-6
months to find the right job.
