LOOKING FOR A JOB IS A JOB IN ITSELF!
· The
most important tip is get out of Bed! Treat looking for a job as a full
time job in itself. Get up every morning as you would if you were
employed.
· Set yourself a daily schedule with goals and targets in your job hunting search.
· Be
ready online each morning to research the web for job openings. Set a
time and don’t schedule non job hunting activities into that time slot.
· Spend at least 2 hours a day researching the web on job boards such as www.fresh-jobs.net and all the generalist job sites.
· Register with all relevant job board sites and set yourself up with job alerts.
· Event
though you will receive job alerts by email each day, you must also go
back and search through the jobsites for new roles advertised, for any
roles that could be newly advertised out of your job alert settings but
would be still relevant for you to apply to.
· Research
companies that you would like to work for and send in your CV
regardless if they are advertising for a position. Many companies have
put new posts on hold since October and you never know, your CV may just
land in their inbox at just the right time!
· Lower
your criteria. Your dream job may be to work as a Pr assistant in a
busy media agency but it may take you a few career steps to get there.
Apply for any roles related to the required industry you want to get a
foot into.
· Set
yourself a goal of getting out 10 Cv applications or more a day. Don’t
leave the PC until you have reached your applications target.
· Follow
up all your CV applications with a call, asking if they received your
CV. It shows you are keen to work for their company.
· Keep a record of where you have applied and for what role. Track if you have chased up the application.
· Think
outside the box. Is there something you could volunteer to do whilst
you are actively seeking employment that would look good on your CV?
Events / Galas anything that shows initiative.
