Five Ways To Get A Job
5 Ways To Get A Job Quickly
A good way to get a new job is to network. Make a list of all of your relatives, friends and acquaintances and let them all know that you are looking for a job. You may be surprised at how many people you know and in turn how many people they know. Having a connect ion can often get you a foot in the door at a place. You can negotiate pay or move into a better role at a later date once you have settled into a company. Touching base with two of your referees can also be very beneficial; it gives you the chance to refresh their memory.
Another good way of getting a job is to volunteer. Volunteering at an organisation you feel passionate about not only looks good on your CV but will also provide you with another reference. You should highlight your voluntary experience on your CV as it will look very positive to future employers.
Be sure to develop your interview skills. Preparing a short speech for when an interviewer asks the question, 'tell me about yourself,' is a good idea. It will not only look good to the interviewer but will probably make you feel more confident and prepared.
It also makes sense to prepare for an interview that asks you 'behavioural' questions. Usually this involves asking you scenario based questions. It's a way for the interviewer to judge how you would behave when faced with certain situations. Some questions they may pose are; 'Tell me about a time where you had to make an awkward decision,' or 'Give me an example of a scenario where you had to work under pressure.'
Do your research! Don't just do an internet search, try to memorise the company mission statement and any important facts and figures. Try to become familiar with the company structure if you can.
