Job-Hunting

Job-Hunting is a reality that many people have to face, especially for those straight out of college or have been unemployed for years now. However, there are key principles for successful job-hunting in the 21st century. A principle component when looking for a job is one must ask themselves three main questions: What? Where? and How? The what refers to the skills you must love to use. Where would you love to see yourself using those skills, for example in what field, setting and with what kind of people? Lastly, how do you go about searching for the name and title of such jobs.

Many people still believe that resumes are the best way to go about looking for a job, however, that is a common misconception. An employer is already overwhelmed with how many resumes are on their desk. Therefore, the best approach one should use is make yourself known and stand out for your future employer. The best way to go about this is by joining a job-club with a step-by-step program, or using the yellow pages of the phone book. Also, it has been proven that if a person knocks on the door of any employer, preferably those with 50 or less employees it has 7 times the success rate of resumes.

Now a days everything is switching to online and the best way to search for a job opening is by using various search engines specifically for job positions. A popular search engine is Quintessential Careers which has been around since 1996. If you are not familiar with technology, a computer to be more specific, that is my number one recommendation in order to help you find the job of your dreams. Becoming fluent in technology will help tremendously in the job market scene and will help you become more familiar and up to date with the careers that are out there.
