Top Job Search Tips
- Look For Hidden Vacancies
Instead of advertising their available jobs employers often look to fill vacancies by word-of-mouth, headhunting or simply by recruiting internally. Knowing how to get yourself in contention for these roles could give you a major boost when it comes to finding your next role.
2 Get Employers to Come To You
When you post your CV on line you are immediately putting your details within reach of thousands of employers. The process may save you the trouble of searching through job adverts.
3 Target the Right Companies
Do you want to be a big fish in a small pond or would you rather have the safety of a large organisation with job security and a clear career path? Knowing what you want allows you to narrow down your search and spend more time applying for the roles you really want.
4 Build a Network
Networking is getting to know people who can help you develop your career prospects. You don’t need to be a big shot or the most outgoing person in the world to network effectively, just keep your ears open and listen for information that could work to your advantage.
5 Keep Your Spirits Up
As time passes, the rejections mount up and the budget gets tighter. It’s easy to become disheartened, however this is exactly the time when you need to dust yourself off and put in more hard work than ever before. One of the main attributes of a successful job seeker is persistence.
