Searching for a job, any job, is a job in itself. To succeed, you need to understand the processes involved.
Preparation may be the key to your success.
The question specifically asks about job searching. Searching is likely the easiest part of the process. Jobs are posted on-line, they are posted on the company/organization’s website, word of mouth and many other ways.
The real challenge comes after you have located a job you feel you are qualified to take on.
This is where your preparation can pay off. You need to understand how to create a resume. Yes, despite what some may say, most of the working world still requires them as part of the job application process.
Your resume should resonate with your Linkedin profile.
Then there is being prepared for the interview. Sometimes, getting to the interview stage is like winning a lottery. I’ve heard of jobs where a thousand people have applied for one job. To succeed in an interview, you need to talk about the skills you bring to the job and why you would be the best candidate.
In my book & on-line course, You’re Hired! Job Search Strategies That Work, I provide ‘best practices’ to land your dream job. I outline a systematic approach to searching for a job, envisioning your success and a set of strategies that can increase your chances of success in not only finding a job, but landing it.
Good luck in your job search!
