Most people at one time or another are faced with the need of finding a job. Today with the commercial and industrial scene changing rapidly,people are changing jobs often,and there are many opportunities available. But,however ample his ability,the average job-seeker usually has little knowledge of how to sell that ability on labor market.
Here are techniques that would guide you when seeking a job:
First,zeroing in one of these jobs should be an organized,full time job in itself. To treat job seeking as a kind of unwelcome semi-holiday is not only efficient but also demoralizing.Set a goal of a certain number of applications a week,always making the applications in person,not just by letter or telephone.
Second,analyze your experience and ability.Do it ruthlessly and objectively.Find out what you can do well,the jobs you have ever held,things that you like doing and what you don't like doing,equipments you can operate and your academic qualification. Surprisingly most people will find they have underestimated their potentials.
Third,once you know your potential,decide whether you are now qualified to get full benefit out of it. If not,it may be wise to take night school or correspondence courses after getting a job.
Fourth,write a resume. This is the most important single tool in any job search. It is simply a one or two page type written list of your jobs and skills,prepared in such a way as to advertise anything salable. Many job seekers emerge from interviews with the miserable realization that their strongest points were never discussed.
Lastly,study the labor market and its economics. Too many think what they are doing is "asking for a job";actually they are trying to sell their services,a given quantity of usable energy of a certain quality on which the employer can make a profit. You buy a package at the store not as a favour to the clerk but because you want what's in it. An employer hires you for the same reason.
With these techniques i believe you are good to start your job hunting. Good luck!
