1. Who’s In Your Network?
The age old saying of, “its not what you know, but who you know,” is still very present. The majority of jobs are filled through referrals and people recommending someone they know for a position. Jobs are not only found through responding to job listings or posting your resume on job boards, but through networking.
The first step when you are looking for a new job is to shout it from the rooftop and tell everyone in your network about the job you are seeking. Remember that networking happens both offline and online. Online means developing and maintaining a network of active professional acquaintances on services like LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. Keeping your professional and personal accounts completely separate is highly recommended.
2. Stand Out From Other Applicants
In today’s ever changing job market, merely having just a resume is not enough. When job seeking, it important to send:
A Cover Letter, Resume, or Curriculum Vitae.
These items are your chance to convey your greatness on multiple platforms. Employers often will scan over your resume and get your abilities from your cover letter. Outline in detail why your past experiences will help you excel at the position you’re gunning to land.
3. If You Stay Ready, You Will Never Have to Get Ready
You never know when, where, or how you will meet your next employer so you should always be ready. Interviews can be held at the spur of the moment and sometimes without notice.
