How To Get The Job You Really
Really Want - Getting Organised
So, you want (or maybe need) a new job. Well,
congratulations, you have come to the right place. And, in the
traditional sense, let's start at the very beginning, as I'm sure
you know, it's a very good place to start!
If you ask anyone (and I mean anyone), they will be
only too pleased to offer "sound" advice in getting your job search
started. They'll give you advice on what does and doesn't work, on
how to write your CV, what jobs to apply for, how to apply for them,
what to say at interviews and many other related topics. Most of
these people have not, repeat NOT, spent most of their lives
searching for jobs. Whilst I am sure their advice will be given
with the best of intentions.....IGNORE IT! Whoa, hold on there
Chaps, that's a bit controversial, this is only the second
paragraph! Sorry, but I mean what I say. I know they want to help,
but they do not understand the job hunting market. You'll get used
to the style, we tell it like it is, not to show off or be clever,
but simply because, if you are going to get the job you really want,
and complete a successful and fulfilling job search,
you need to know!
At best, the advice you will be given will not be in tune with the
real job hunting world, at worst it will waste you an awful lot of
time and money!
At its most basic, successful job hunting
can be broken down into four major activities;-
1. Finding relevant job
leads (vacancies).
2. Making an effective
application.
3. Completing a successful
interview.
4. Gaining an acceptable
offer.
However, before any of this can be put
into practice, you need to get organised. What is there to
organise? You're about to find out!
