TEN TIPS FOR FINDING EMPLOYMENT
- Call Recruiters. It just makes sense to have others looking to find employment for you. Two (or more) heads are better than one.
- Job search websites are your friend. Use Monster, Careerbuilder, Yahoohotjobs, indeed, simplyhired, Dice (for IT jobs) and any others you can find.
- Update your online profiles weekly to keep your resume fresh and to show up on more employer searches.
- If you are currently unemployed, spend as much time looking for a job as you would working at one (40 hrs.). It is your job to look for a job.
- Make sure your resume looks sharp, and has no spelling errors. Spelling errors will sink you quickly!
- Network! Get in contact with all your friends, family and co-workers to see if their companies are hiring, or if they know of any open positions in their industries.
- Look professional and speak professionally. First impressions are everything.
- Never be late to interviews, work, meetings, or anything.
- Follow up after interviews and when you submit your resume. Don’t be overbearing, but let them know you are interested.
- Don’t be discouraged. Always remain positive especially in professional settings.
