Great Job Search for Great Career
Are you looking for the right job that will put you on track for a great career to come? Finding once and for all the right job in the right company to be eligible for a worthy future advancement is just a matter of using the right resources.
It can be really stressful and depressing looking for a job that meets your criteria. I had to go through several jobs myself before finding the right one, and it took be more than just a few days between the last job I quit and the job I considered to be the one. Today’s job field is very competitive so it’s normal it takes you time and energy.
Before you do anything, make your objectives clear. Take a paper and pen and write down all the criteria and the requirements for you job search as well as your personality and character traits. Try to see if there aren’t any contradictions. For example, some people are looking for a challenging job where they can always outperform themselves and reach new limits, but at the same time these people do not react all that well under stress; what this person really wants is a job environment where he can put his hard working skills, but a hard working job is not the same thing as a challenging job where you need creativity and fast thinking.
Do not ignore the simple search methods. Yes, we live in the era of the internet. Everything now, even dating, is done on the internet. Remember that older methods still work, and sometimes work even better. Talk to your friends and relatives. You would be surprised how this works. You might think that you only have 5 or 10 friends or less that are in the same field as you are, but this is not how you should treat this method. Pass the word around. Say you ask 2 friends about a job your are looking for, but they tell you they know nothing about it. That’s fine, so you ask them if they can in turn ask their friends about this, and if not the friends of their friends. It is a chain reaction, and along the way, you can also meet and make new friends on top of finding a job. Just last year I have been able to help 2 friends get a job, one directly and the other one indirectly. IT WORKS!
If the method above doesn’t work, then this one will. A lot of people spend a lot of time and give a good amount of thought on how then can improve their CV. After making it near perfect, they start sending it everywhere they can. Usually, if you send it to around 15-20 places, there really is around maybe only 3-5 that really interests you. Here is a way to multiply your chances of finding a job by 10! Instead of sending your CVs, never send another CV again, ever, forget sending CVs and making online profiles on job sites, JUST CALL DIRECTLY! That’s right, almost everywhere you post a job, there is also a phone number where you can join them. Take the phone and call them, talk to them, introduce yourself and say how you like the company and are highly motivated and competent. Try as hard as you can to book an interview right on the spot; tell them you are free this very afternoon and if they aren’t very busy you can come this very day. Do not appear a bit shy and be the leader, be confident and show confidence, show you are not being impressed by them and that you deserve the job more than anyone else. Doing this will guarantee you will find the job you want, with only 10% of the work you used to do.
No matter what you do, always remember:
The job you want isn’t always looking for you, and the job that is looking for you isn’t always the one you want. Best of luck in your research.
