Getting a job is not exactly the same as it was decades ago. With all the changing industries, global markets opening up, and intense competition, landing a job might even be a bit harder nowadays.
Especially to those who are just fresh out of college, getting the right job is going to be a bit of a task. A lot of people are concerned about today's economic climate (Just look at this article by Jobs & Hire about how to get out of America and start a life elsewhere) and getting a job without getting bummed from all the rejections and constant searching.
According to Forbes, the unemployment rate is rising in America so getting that much needed monthly wage becomes quite a chore. Here are some ways a job hunter could better position himself to land a job:
Create Perfect Resume
A resume has been the best tool of employers when gauging new talents for the company. The fact still remains true up to this day. So creating the perfect resume and cover letter is really important when trying to nail that job.
Employers often dismiss resumes that have typos and wrong grammar without considering if the person is competent for the work they require. Here is a handy guide from Interview Guys on how to go about creating a really strong resume.
Always Research
It is always infuriating for interviewers to ask a prospective employee what he/she thinks about a company and just gets a dumbfounded stare. Researching about the company before going to a job interview is very important as it can show the employer how much someone values their possible second home. A good idea is for the job seeker to prepare question that they may have about things they learned regarding the company.
Make an online profile
Having a good network is very important when it comes to seeking jobs. An employer would always check an applicant's online footprint so making sure that everything looks good is really important.
