True, very true. Many are lucky to get their dream jobs at the start of their career. For others, it’s a constant search for that one employment profile yet not found. Entry level or experienced professionals, finding jobs has never been easier. Whether you are searching for your first job or re-entering the job market after a sabbatical, or just switching careers, getting that dream job still requires preparing a ground in the job market. As a jobseeker, you should understand the current demands of the job market.
To apply for positions in the chosen career field, here are several ways that will get your career started.
Step 1: Build Your Resume
Job-hunting is time taking and requires patient effort. Even after several applications, you are not receiving the interview call. Why not check your resume. Chances may be that your resume lacks updated information or missing important details. Your CV is a noteworthy distillation of who you are. How can you value add to the company is important point to mention.
Follow these simple yet effective tips to mention in your resume.
Always write the truth in your resume. Never lie as companies today conduct background check. If you are caught with lies, this can ruin your entire career.
How your present the resume is important as well. Writing style can make an impact to prospective employer. Try to use active verbs. Describing the last job, write your sentences as crisp as possible.
Never forget to proofread your resume. Bad English with grammatical or spelling errors can create a negative impression about you. Your ability to the job will be overlooked, as attention will shift to the language errors, even if a typo. Read several times after completing the resume. Better still, why not make some else read your resume before sending for any job application.
Presentation of resume is equally important as how it reads. Many jobseekers use fancy fonts in resume. Use simple classic font in your resume. Standard fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial and in black ink and wide margins are preferred. Ensure that your name and contact is displayed prominently.
Step 2: Do Your Homework
This is the second step to get your dream job. Before the interview, why not do a mock interview by yourself. Stand in front of the mirror and prepare a behavioral interview. Customary questions asked in an interview such as describe problems encountered in previous work place, how you handle those makes many candidates uncomfortable. The best way to handle such questions is to prepare yourself beforehand. Other hypothetical questions usually asked are how you will handle obstacles faced in workplace.
Employers ask such questions to check and see if the candidate can handle work pressure well. You should be honest in answers, even if the questions are hypothetical. Try to answer such hypothetical questions in front of the mirror. Watch your facial expressions and body language. Not only the answers, the interviewer also checks these aspects.
Some hypothetical questions in an interview are given below:
- “Describe a situation when you had a conflict with your senior and how you convinced them”
- “Tell me about how you handle two important deadlines together”
- “Give us one initiative you took in your team that impacted in a positive way”
Another important preparation you as interviewee require to do is research the company well. You should know what a company does, what business it has and what are the company’s plans. Remember, you are competing with many other candidates. You should know about the job designation and the duties calls for it.
If you got an interview call from your dream company, do not miss the excellent opportunity. Make extra efforts to know about the company. Search the official site and know the company’s mission and vision, various departments and company heads. Try to contact people working in the company through social media sites, follow discussions in web pages and know follow the company in business circles. This will give edge to you over other candidates.
For example, your dream company happens to be a major retail sector brand, visit a couple of stores in your city, and watch the consumers. Even better, strike up a quick conversation with them and know the ground reality. You can also talk to the employees in the store and ask them about workplace environment, their jobs and similar questions.
Step 3: The Day of Interview
Dress for success! After planning for days or months, finally you received the call. Dress to make the right impression, with polished shoes and well-combed hair.
Do not forget to carry your resume and cover letter. Even though you have applied and the company has your resume, always carry one.
Be on time. Coming late for interview is the least expected of you. Reach an hour before the scheduled time. There are times when unexpected situations happen and you are late. Inform the concerned person and tell about the expected time to reach the venue.
Be prepared for unexpected questions. Do not lose your cool. Be calm and composed. Take a deep breath; think for few minutes and then answer.
Most importantly, know the purpose of interview. To get your dream job.
Know your goals, and you will get the desired job.
