Four-steps of getting a job
Hunting a job needs much effort obviously but we can maximize the chances of getting a job by following this script. This script is
going to be covering a tiny little part of getting a job.
Step-1 Understanding capability of yourself
You have got to question
yourself
What am I capable of?
Everybody is capable of doing one or more things but here you need to determine what you are capable of because this will help find what
type of job you need to hunt for.
Step-2 Finding the right job
The easiest way is the Internet. Searching for a job you are
capable of is made easy on the Internet. Categorized jobs on the Internet makes
easier to choose the jobs you are looking for.
Step-3 Approaching an employer or organization
Basically all you need is that you need to present yourself
in a way that makes the employer understand your capability of doing the job.
For this, the tools we can use are business cards and CV with covering letter. Make
a business card with necessary details on it. It does not have to be stylish, just
a standard card is enough.You can make it by yourself on your computer. Make it
as a habit of giving business card to people you meet.
CV and covering letter are
the things which are going to reflect who you are. These should be done very
carefully. If you think you can’t do it that way ask help from others who can
do this. Approaching an employer challenges job seekers. There are a lot of
ways to approach. One of the good ways I suggest is that approaching by making calls. This is the way I found by discussing about employment with
directors and hiring people. After getting details out of job advertisements now you are
ready to make calls, ask for the person who is responsible for making employment decision
in the organization, have a formal clean conversation, this conversation will
last for less than a minute. Thinking positively, you will be asked to come in
to face an interview.
Step -4 Repeat the steps until you get employed
Keep doing like this until get employed, make this job hunting process as a full time job, give it heaps, and make a
checklist to see how many calls you make a day.
What do you particularly mean by Business Card?
ReplyDeleteI reckon,it may not be simply possible to call employers and ask,before applying for it!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think?
why do you think that making a call to employers is not possible?
ReplyDeleteBusiness card is a small card that has your business information or your certain personal information on it.
ReplyDeleteIn the context of Sri Lanka, We have the option to apply for a vacancy with our CV and a cover Letter,then waiting the response from employer.
ReplyDeleteWe do not normally call the employer in any circumstances before getting a call from them.
My view is that you can give employers a good impression and express your interest in this way( by making call)
