Job Fair Seminar
To wit, we provide you here some of the effective recommendations from experts to increase your job-search success:
- To get hired fast, you only have 30 to 60 seconds to convince the would-be employer to hire you – either in your Cover Letter (CV) or the interview. You need to make the best out of that time.
- Make yourself and your skills more visible by posting your resume on-line, joining job fairs and going to other places.
- Make an effort daily like sending emails or attending a networking event, keeping your job search forward.
- Keep an open mind and send resumes everywhere and go to every agency whether they are hiring or not.
- Be Confident. When interviewed, and if you want the job, look like you have already got it.
- Visit each company’s corporate web site.
- Dress in business-friendly attire. A suit in a neutral colour is always your best choice.
- Attitude is the key: be always proactive, flash your winning smile, a firm handshake, and be always gracious to everyone you meet.
Here are some job hunting do’s and don’ts:
Do’s
- Decide what job you want; a targeted search is the most effective search.
- Determine if you’d relocate for that job; your dream job may not be in your backyard.
- Research the best companies to work for that have the position you seek; it pays to aim for the top.
- Practice for the interview with a friend or family member to help you get comfortable answering questions about your experience and qualifications; take care not to memorize your responses as you don’t want them to sound rehearsed.
- Take a moment, at the end of each interview, to ask when the employer plans to make a hiring decision.
- Make sure you have the names and titles of all those who have interviewed you; collect business cards as you meet people or before you leave.
- Thank each person you meet individually.
Don’ts
- Rely on just one method of job hunting
- Create a portfolio
- Forget to sign your cover letter, giving it a personal touch.
- Use slang, poor language, or pause words, such as “uh,” “um,” “like,” and, “you know”.
- Air your personal business during an interview, your family problems or political opinions have no place in a business interview.
- Neglect proofreading each and every communication you send, including your thank-you’s; a typo, even at this stage, can cost you the job.
- Be afraid to follow up with a phone call within 10 days
Place too much importance on one job interview; there are other fish in the sea - and better opportunities on the horizon.
