HOW TO GET A JOB
Looking for a job is work. The more
experience you have, the
better your chance for success. The
more people you know and the more you follow up on contacts, the
greater are your options. While any job that increases your
income is probably worth considering, the real challenge is to
find a job you really enjoy that also returns a decent amount of
money.
Get organized
– Keep a log of dates, places you go and names of people you
meet. Also, take note of impressions and feedbacks from
previous experiences so you can check areas for improvement.
Utilize personal contacts
– Generally speaking, Employers hire people they know, first and
people sent to them from people they know, second.
Be able to talk about the employer's business
– Do research so that you are able to talk about the business
before asking for a job. Ask yourself, "Why do I want to work
for this organization?" By focusing on the employer we are
displaying interest in the needs of the company.
Make the best possible impression
– We are being assessed consciously and unconsciously along
every step in the job search process. We must look our best,
feel our best and be aware of our actions.
Practice & Follow-up –
Prepare for contacts and interviews by
practicing your presentation. Before asking for a job, become a
person the employer knows or at least, establish a level of
comfort and be able to speak intelligently about the
organization. After asking for a Job, Do Follow-up.
