Trying to find a new job can be challenging, especially in the current job market. In fact many job seekers end up frustrated and discouraged after spending a lot of time searching for a job and only having rejection letters to show for it.
If you want to avoid that and make finding a new job easier, you need to be proactive and use the right strategy. To be more specific there are five essential tips that you should embrace wholeheartedly.
Think About What You Want
Before you start to look for jobs, you should sit down and think long and hard about what you really want. In particular you should try to define the role that you want, and what any other criteria that may be important such as salary, company culture, title, location, and so on.
At the same time you must consider your own qualifications, strengths, and weaknesses – and whether or not you’re a good fit for the type of jobs you want. All of this will help make it a lot easier when you start to browse through job listings, and help you to identify potential jobs more quickly.
Don’t Stop Applying Till You Get a Job
The most common mistake that job seekers make is that they only apply for a handful of jobs, and may stop applying while waiting to hear back from them. If you do that you run the risk of ending up with just a pile or rejections.
Avoiding this mistake is easy: Keep on looking for potential jobs and applying to them until you actually get a job. At worst you may end up with multiple offers, which is great since you’ll then be able to take your pick.
Tailor the Cover Letter and Resume
Ideally every cover letter and resume that you use to apply for a job should be tailored to the company and position that you’re interested in. If you personalize the cover letter and resume, you will be able to provide more relevant information and increase your chances of getting called in for an interview.
In your resume it is especially important to try to only include important details about your experiences that are relevant. As a rule it is always best to be direct and show potential employers why you would be a good fit for the position.
Get on LinkedIn
If you haven’t already created a LinkedIn profile, you need to do that – right now. More and more employers are starting to look up candidates on LinkedIn, and if you don’t have a profile your chances of getting a response will plummet.
When you do create a profile, be sure to put in as much relevant information as possible. Think of your LinkedIn profile as an online version of your resume that provides information about your skills, work experience, achievements, and personality.
Final Words
If you follow these tips it should be much easier to find a job. However what is most important is that you stick with it and don’t give up.
Unless you happen to be incredibly lucky, odds are you won’t land the first job that you apply for. Instead, you’ll probably end up with a pile or rejection letters before you finally get an offer. On your part you need to persevere, and keep on finding and applying for more jobs.
In short as long as you’re willing to tough it out and use the tips listed above, you will eventually end up landing exactly the type of job that you want.
