Job-hunting tips you should know about
By Career counseling

Are you currently searching for a job? Whether you’re trying to find a new job because of the current economic climate or you’re interested in making a change in your career, looking for jobs can be a long and exhausting process. We have good news, though. There are plenty of household jobs available and you can find one that fits your skill set, personality, and passions. Here are some job-hunting tips that can help you land a great job.

Know what direction you want to take your career.

It’s important to determine what kind of jobs suit your passions and experience. Look for jobs that align with those things. If you know exactly what you want, you’ll save time looking through endless postings that don’t align with the goals you’ve set for yourself. If you are looking to make a career change and don’t have much experience in your new field of interest, consider what steps you can take to change that. Find classes, online courses, certifications, or other trainings that can give you a competitive advantage.

Know what you’re applying for.

Make sure you read job descriptions carefully. Look through what qualifications they want candidates to have and ensure that you follow application instructions. If you don’t follow directions or ignore some of the key things that they’re looking for, you’ll likely be rejected. Not to mention, you’re wasting your time as well as the potential employer’s time.

Pay attention to details.

Review your resume. Check for spelling and grammar errors, or other information that needs updating. Your resume is the first glimpse that a potential employer has into who you are, so make sure you make a good impression. Another thing to do is think about your email signature line with a link to your professional website or LinkedIn page. Also, think about updating your phone’s voicemail message, making sure you sound positive, upbeat, and professional.
