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?
