How To Get The Job You Really
Really Want - Getting Organised Job Search Diary
Some people may find the next item a little
patronising, sorry if it gets you that way, but here goes anyway.
You need a diary. Obvious, I know, but any calls or
appointments simply must be logged in your diary. Again you
can use Outlook (or similar software), your mobile but you need to
have something that you can keep with you and refer to it constantly
during your campaign. If you’re Blackberry savvy – great.
It is very embarrassing to double book yourself, and
is nearly always fatal to the application if you cancel an
interview. Still worse, of course, is forgetting to turn up at
all! I can hear you laughing, but after twenty years in
recruitment, believe me it happens -
regularly!
Other minor supplies that help oil the
campaign include;-
Some of this may all seem a little simplistic, maybe
even unimportant, however, please be assured of one thing, job
hunting is a pressure pastime. Every little thing that makes
the process run that little bit more smoothly helps. As soon
as you start misplacing things (anything), you put yourself under
unnecessary pressure. That in turn decreases your
effectiveness and ability to perform. Just think back to the
last time you couldn't find a stamp! How frustrating, energy
draining, annoying and downright time wasting was the experience?
Take time to get organised at the start of your
campaign, it will reap major benefits once the campaign
bandwagon really starts to roll!!!
