Job Hunting Success
Job Hunting Success by Tony Jacowski
If you are out looking for a job, do not expect your employer to know
what your employment value is just by looking at your resume or by
interviewing you. It is your responsibility to prove this to him or her.
Also, if you allow the employers to determine your value, then the
chances of them coming to the wrong conclusion will be strong. In order
to prevent this, you need to know exactly who you are, what you are
capable of, and what it is that you have to sell.
For instance, if you are having a discussion with your prospective
employer, then you should probably address issues like how you can help
him or her become more successful. This is the only topic that will grab
any attention as any other topic would be a waste of time.
You should always know your value as an employee before you actually
begin searching for a job so that you can take control of the entire
job-search process. Make sure to define certain goals for yourself. Once
you have decided what you are looking for before you actually start
looking for something, you will have the right clues as to where and
when to start looking.
Any job search in order to find a job can be a daunting task. Be
prepared to devote all your time and energy in this process. If you are
presently unemployed, prepare yourself to spend at least 30 hours every
week in searching for a job. If you happen to be employed, then prepare
yourself for an "extra" job over the next few months until you find
yourself a new job.
Tips for Effective Job-Hunting
Job hunting can be quite intimidating and stressful and can sometimes
produce both depression and anxiety in an individual. It probably will
take a lot of time for you to find employment, so it is advisable to
start as soon as you can and patience is a must!
In addition, make sure that you have a specific goal, but still be
prepared and flexible in your approach and your use of alternate options
is sometimes necessary. While knowing what kind of a job you want is
essential to your job search, you must also keep in mind that there is
no guarantee that you will find what you are looking for.
There are loads of opportunities out there and plenty of help is
available, so don't ever be afraid to ask for help. Ask friends,
associates, relatives and even career advisors for help. There's no
point in maintaining that "I can do this myself" attitude; the task is
generally bigger than you can imagine!
Churning out hundreds of resumes is just a waste of time and energy.
Employers receive millions of resume each day and this can get pretty
annoying! Getting professional help when making your resume sounds like
a good idea as this will help you stand out from the crowd.
Networking is absolutely necessary when you're out searching for jobs.
From job search support groups to former co-workers, bosses, and old
classmates, there are many sources out there. Check internet job search
engines as there are thousands of sites available.
Follow these few tips and you can rest assured that your job hunt will
end up in success!
