THREE SMART WAYS TO FIND A GREAT JOB

There’s no doubt that job hunting is pretty tough these days – as anyone will admit to this fact. People are sending out hundreds of resumes and applications daily without a single interview. Even the employed persons still wants a better one. So what can you do to get that exclusive job? Here are some tips for a successful job hunting:

  1. NETWORKING

It is said that most jobs are never publicly advertised. So one of the smart ways to find a job is to make connections and network with people. Opportunities can pop up in the most surprising places, so get chatting to everyone and anyone. Even random
conversations can lead to ideas and
connections.

Use social networks, build strong connections and let all your friends know, that you are looking for new career opportunities.

  1. CREATE ONE

If your job hunting is not going well then there is an alternative to working for someone else. Create your own job! Think of starting a small business or offer your services as a consultant. This takes a lot of energy and commitment but can pay off handsomely in the long run. Maybe you are good at maths and can be a home tutor? Or maybe you can make beautiful make-up? Search the internet for sites where you can post free ads, and try to advertise your services and check out if you can generate revenue this way. THETIMELINEPOST can give you a push in this aspect.

  1. VISIT

An alternative to sending CV is to visit
offices in person and ask if you can speak to the Human Resources manager. It shows that you are really keen regarding your job hunting and that you have an initiative. If they are available and willing to speak with you – you will have the chance to show
them that you are more than just a name on a resume.

And finally – do not forget the traditional but very effective way. Check the newest job adverts every day, both online and papers for job openings, there you can find vacancies from the most outstanding companies.
