There is a science to job searching. Simply sending out many resumes to various jobs is unlikely to get you an interview or an offer. The following explain best tips for a successful job search!
J - Just take a deep breath and get started.
O - ‘Office’ skills are needed to create a good resume and search the web for leads.
B - Be talking to people. If people know you are job searching, they can refer you to openings.
S - Search online on ‘web spiders’ which pull leads from all sites on the Internet. The favorite is www.indeed.com. Of course, careerbuilder and monster.com are useful too. And be sure to check openings on sites for companies you know you want to work for.
E - Every opening is not equal. You need to apply to jobs for work you’ve done before or have the right education for…or they won’t call you for an interview.
A - Applications need to be completed perfectly, fully and professionally.
R - Resume. Your resume needs to reflect the skills, education and experience they are looking for, be typo free and formatted nicely.
C - Communication is the interview. You need to practice your answers, arrive early, bring your resume and reference page, be dressed professionally and be polite to EVERYBODY as you walk through the door to the time you leave the building.
H - Have faith that you will succeed and with determination and professionalism, you will land a position.
