Network:
Most people find jobs through word-of-mouth. Talk to the
people you know, including relatives, friends, and
former work colleagues. Let them know that you are
looking for work; ask their advice; seek out
introductions to people in the field that interests you.
Customise:
Create a custom version of your CV for each job or
industry that interests you. Your CV is usually an
employer’s first contact with you. Make sure it
highlights your skills that relate to the job that
employer is seeking to fill (read about what to put in
your CV in
CV Tips).
Know yourself:
Identify your skills. Work on communicating them
effectively. You need to be able to sell your skills,
and explain how they relate to the job you're seeking.
Organise and prioritise:
Make a list to help keep track of your job search
efforts. Preparing a list also helps you to organise
your priorities and keeps you focused on your goal --
finding your perfect job. Produce a folder containing
specimens of some of the work you have done – be like an
artist and put together a portfolio. Take relevant
specimens for the job you are applying for a folder to
the interview. Take every opportunity to refer to them
and show the specimens during your interview – it should
make a good impression.
Do your homework:
Read the newspaper and trade journals to remain current
on developments in your field of interest. Knowing the
latest trends and mergers will help set you apart from
other candidates in an interview. Go to the library and
learn what you can about a company before attending any
interviews.
Practice, practice, practice:
Preparation is the key to a successful interview. Know
your skills and be ready to illustrate how they relate
to the job in question. Practice with a friend to get
comfortable with your responses and to formulate strong
answers to questions you might not anticipate and
prepare the specimens you will take with you to
demonstrate your skills (read about most commonly asked
questions in
Interview Tips)
Follow up:
Following an interview, always send a thank-you note the
same day.
Keep your head up:
Looking for a job can feel like a job in itself. Don't
let it get you down. With patience and hard work, you
will find the right job. You can do it.
GOOD LUCK – you can do it!
