Getting a job that you want is something that you need to set your mind to and put in the work beforehand in order to achieve your goal. Planning and preparing is an important part of the job search, so if you are on the hunt for a new job, here are some of the things to do to put yourself in the best position to get it…
Consider What Jobs Would Suit You – The first thing to do is to be honest with yourself and think about your circumstances, your skills and your qualifications. This can help you to get a good idea of the type of job that is suitable for you.
Make a list of your qualifications – if you have a particular job in mind, you could look up the qualifications that are required and if you do not have them, research courses that you could do in order to achieve them. Some jobs will also offer on the job training.
You also need to think about your circumstances – for example, if you don’t drive, then you will need to find a job that you can get to via public transport, or one that allows you to work from home.
Write your CV – Your CV is an important part of your job search and your opportunity to sell yourself to the employer and stand out from the crowd, so take your time when you are writing this. There are lots of helpful tutorials online that you can use to do this, so have a look at them and see what they can help you with.
The other important thing to remember is not to lie on your CV -it is very likely that you will be caught out, it is just not worth it!
Look in the Right Places – There are lots of places to look for a job, but if you are interested in a specific industry, you can narrow down your search more by going to industry specific recruiters such as this procurement recruitment agency talentdrive.co.uk
Making contact with other people who work in the industry is also a great way to get the word out there that you are looking for a job and hear about any openings that might interest you.
