Fast Route To Finding A Job

 How to find a job faster!!!


Quit your job? Laid off due to rona? Fresh out of school? Want to change career? You need a job?


Here’s a few tips that could speed up the search!


*Set A Career Goal*


Before you start hunting down jobs, take a few minutes to set a career goal

Ask yourself: What are my career aspirations What am I looking for in a job? A company? Write down a few key words or sentences and keep these in mind as you search for jobs.



*Perfect Your Resume*


Before you apply to a job, you need to spruce up your resume. This document is your key to getting a company to notice you, so it needs to shine.

Most organizational employs computer software for Cv review and not people. While this is favorable to the hiring manager is it very disadvantageous to the job seeker as if your result lacks the necessary resume key words whether qualified or not, it will land to the resume black hole.


Not only do you need a strong resume, but you also need to write for the bots.


*Build A Professional Network*


One of the best ways to find a job fast is to tap into your network, and that means getting active on LinkedIn. Share articles, comment on others' posts, even join a LinkedIn group to interact with other professionals. You can also connect with recruiters and let them know you're interested in jobs by scrolling down to your LinkedIn profile dashboard and updating your “Career Interests” section.

You can also network the “old fashioned” way by reaching out to former professors, classmates, co-workers, and mentors and seeing if they know of any opportunities for you to take advantage of.


*Set Up Job-Search Alerts*


Sign up to different job boards and create newsletters 


*Tailor Your Cover Letter*


Cover letter is not generic! There is no one for all cover letter. Use the job description to create each cover letter. Yes, it takes time to customize a cover letter, but this doesn't necessarily require you to start from scratch each time you apply to a different job. Simply create a fill-in-the-blank cover letter, and customize the introductory paragraph, your relevant skills and abilities, and the reason you want the job to fit each position you apply for.


*Practice Interviewing*


While you apply for jobs, remain optimistic and prepare for interviews. Then, when the time comes for a phone screen or an in-person interview, you'll feel prepared.


Don’t settle for less and don’t give up!!

CAREER CAPSULE (UTILIZING SKILLS AND TALENTS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CAREER JOURNEY)

 CAREER CAPSULE  "Instead of trying to be the best in the world at one thing, combine two skills where you’re in the top 25%." If you want an average successful life, it doesn’t take much planning. Just stay out of trouble, go to school, and apply for jobs you might like. But if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths: 1. Become the best at one specific thing. 2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things. The first strategy is difficult to the point of near impossibility.  The second strategy is fairly easy. Everyone has at least a few areas in which they could be in the top 25% with some effort. In my case, I can draw better than most people, but I’m hardly an artist. And I’m not any funnier than the average standup comedian who never makes it big, but I’m funnier than most people. The magic is that few people can draw well and write jokes.
