Job Hunting

Finding a job can be hard work and take lots of time and effort. You need to spend time searching for vacancies, putting your CV together, filling out application forms and preparing for interviews. Sometimes though, no matter how hard you try, you feel you're not getting anywhere.

No matter what kind of job you're looking for—a temporary summer position, a part-time job during the school year, an internship, or your first full-time position after graduation—there are several tips and tricks that can help you find your treasure—the perfect position.

Do not be afraid to ask for help - you're only human!

Do not give up - something will turn up eventually.

Write an informative CV. A resume shows potential employers what skills and experience you have, and why you'd be a valuable addition to their company. Writing a resume can seem especially challenging as a current college student or recent graduate with limited work experience.

Try to get some work experience in the field you want to work in. Employers want to see experience as well as qualifications.

Prepare neatly for your interview. Personal interviews are used by all employers and companies for selecting their staff. Interview is one of the most important step in the staff selection procedure. The job interview is a strategic conversation with a purpose. Your goal is to show the employer that you have the skills, background, and ability to do the job and that you can successfully fit into the organization and its culture. The interview is also your opportunity to gather information about the job, the organization, and future career opportunities to figure out if the position and work environment are right for you.

And I think the most important piece of advice - 'believe in yourself.'

Here are some more top tips to help you succeed in finding a job.

Don't be afraid to apply - if you don't you won't get the job!

Research the company. Don't apply for just any job, make sure it's a good fit for you.
