Steps to Find a GOOD JOB

Many people keep doing the same things over and over again hoping that they will catch a break even though it does not seem to work. When applying for work, they keep sending their papers in the same manner hoping that they will find the best job out there. One common trend is people going on a cruise through the internet then sending their resumes to each and every company that they can find online. While this can get you that call from the HR department, chances of getting a job through this haphazard mode of application are very slim. Below are a few ways on how you can raise your chances of getting a job.



Build a Network
Working via virtual reality will not help at all. There is need to build a physical network with constructive and like-minded friends and colleagues. Get to meet and talk about things that matter. Share what you have heard concerning the job market, postings available, latest hiring trends and the like. Get to learn something from those who have succeeded. Also share about what seems to work then eliminate what doesn't. Within a short time of serious focus and sharing, your group of jobless friends will turn to meet over coffee after work to discuss how the days at the workplace were.

Get Physical
While the internet is a great resource for getting job information, it has greatly eroded the human contact aspect which allows people to meet physically. Many people hide behind the computer and forward their resumes in confidence only to find that they physically break down in the face of an interview. Though many people think it is frustrating to look for a job in person, many employees actually find it easier to email back a negative response than actually say it to your face. So get out of your seat and do the physical searching. Though the computer actually pointed you in the right direction, it is actually a human who will interview and hire you. Through the conversation, other factors such as your confidence, mall things like common love for music or paintings help you find the best job ever.

Follow up
Many job-seekers just send out a flood of resumes then sit back and wait for the human resource managers to contact them. If no call comes through, then they assume that they have missed the chance then send out another batch of resumes elsewhere. It is recommended that you call up the company a day after to confirm if they received your application then again in a few days to check on the status. Remember to avoid sounding desperate on phone. Be confident and choose your words carefully when inquiring about the status of your application. Calling up can help you as most recruiters see this as a sign of confidence and seriousness. A short call can help you climb a step over the other applicants and right on your journey to find the best job.
