Looking for a Job is a Job

Finding a job requires serious efforts. It’s a Job finding a job. Most often, Job seekers treat this with levity and expect luck or in some cases, give up while trying. They blame it on wrong Job information, false Job adverts, and etc. The list is simply endless. Studies however, have proven otherwise. My experience as a Job seeker and now a human resource professional has offered me more insight on the subject matter. Finding a job takes dedication and determination. A job seeker must understand that getting a Job requires perseverance but most importantly unwavering commitment to his/her pursuit. Here are something’s you need to know;

Ø  As a jobseeker, never depend on luck. Effort must be invested in your pursuit for a rewarding employment.

Ø  As a jobseeker, seeking for a Job is done every day and not once in a week or anytime convenient. You must dedicate time and resources to your pursuit. Most great Jobs have a short deadline. In some cases, a week or even days.

Ø  As a jobseeker, get rid of email filters that will prevent organization from reaching you. Deal with spam emails as it comes. I have seen countless individuals subscribing for spam filters. Please note this, when an organization send outs bulk invites either for aptitude test or interview, they do that through a channel. No one has time to start going through your spam filter message to be granted access. I have seen people subscribe for all kinds of message filter online and this has greatly limited their chances of being reached. Deal with your emails one at a time or better still avoid exposing them on forums, thereby inviting spam mails.

Ø  As a Jobseeker, be more flexible in your approach to job search.

Ø  Finally, have a SIMPLY but expressive Résumé. One that will speak for you even when you are not there. Be sure to make detailed but direct.

Looking for a Job is a Job. How are you looking?
