If you are one of those currently hunting Job, you know the tail end of a recession is a challenging and often frustrating time to be looking for work. You may feel you have tried everything to turn your luck for the better without any success. There are tips you can apply to significantly improve your chances of securing a job. Here are six top tips for finding a job you can use.
Create a Killer CV
Create a killer professional CV to get a competitive edge when job hunting. Tailor your CV to fit the needs of the employer and avoid CV jargon. This means you should not describe yourself as a “highly motivated worker with excellent attention to detail” without backing up your claims with real life examples that demonstrate those qualities. Keep your CV concise and accurate; no more than two pages long and with good font size and plenty of white space. This improves your CV’s chances of being read.
Social Networking
Social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are increasingly becoming an important job recruitment tool for employers, as well as a handy tool for candidates to investigate the suitability of potential employers. Research the culture of companies you are interested in on social media and use your insights to craft highly focused CVs and cover letters that demonstrate you understand the company you are applying for employment. Remember to keep all your social media profiles “digitally clean” because potential employers might also investigate your suitability on social media.
Job Centre
When you make your first or repeat visit to a job centre plus office, remain calm and collected. Be prepared to answer many personal and professional questions. Carry relevant documents and proofs to support your answers. The more accurate information you provide upfront, the quicker and smoother the process of helping you find a full-time job will be for you.
Practice your Interview Skills
Practice answering basic interview questions well in advance, including questions like:
• Tell us a little about yourself
• What do you know about our company?
• Why do you want to work for us?
• Why should we hire you?
• Why are you leaving your present job?
• Describe what you think is the perfect working environment, and
• How long would it take you to settle in and make a meaningful contribution to our company?
Recruitment Agencies
Finally, conduct background checks to identify the best agencies to deal with in the long term when searching for a job. When you find the right agency, give them a good first impression. Be well groomed without body piercings and tattoos when you visit the agency offices. Recruitment agencies will only recommend for job placement candidates who will not risk the agency’s own reputation in the eyes of client companies.
