9 More Ways to Get Your Job You Want!

Writ­ing an effec­tive resume will give you a higher chance to an inter­view.  But that is focus­ing on the resume only.  That’s not enough to lay you the job you want.  What is actu­ally lack­ing is the extra human touch that you should be giv­ing to your employer.  We have nine more ways for you to help you get the job you want!  Fol­low them closely and we believed you will be rewarded with the career that you long been wait­ing for!

1. Under­stand that the resume and CV needs to be done cor­rectly before you can talk about an inter­view – There­fore, do not waste time think­ing that about your inter­view­ing process or how much to ask for.  Use your energy in per­fect­ing the resume and CV.
2. List down the indus­tries you are inter­ested in – Then do a search on all job por­tals.  Do not limit your­self to local por­tals.  You may find some­thing inter­est­ing from regional por­tals as well.
3. List down the com­pa­nies you are inter­ested in – Then search for the jobs through each indi­vid­ual com­pany career web­site.  Recruit­ment firms and job por­tals may not have all the listed jobs you want.  There­fore, it’s good to look for the jobs directly from the employer (company).
4. Increase your chance of employ­ment by drop­ping your resume with a few recruit­ment firms – This recruit­ment firms will help you get your job.  Why?  They receive com­mis­sion and bonus for get­ting a staff to the employer!  There­fore, they will be more des­per­ate to get you a job!
5. Keep track of all the appli­ca­tions made – If you left this step, you will be con­fused when prospec­tive employ­ers call you and you are unable to tell which com­pany that you applied for.  And unknow­ingly, you con­fused with the company’s com­peti­tor.  Not good for a first impression!
6. Follow-up with your employ­ers – Call in or email in to con­firm if the employer have received the resume.  Do this after two to three days after you sub­mit­ted your resume.
7. Do not be sad­dened after a series of appli­ca­tions – Call up the employ­ers if they did not get back to you and learn from them what you are miss­ing to get the job.  It may be some key skills and expe­ri­ence you are lack­ing.  It may be some infor­ma­tion that you are miss­ing in the resume which you can amend eas­ily too.
8. Call your employer to thank him for spar­ing the time for the inter­view ses­sion – That is when you are given a chance for inter­view.  Also, thank him for con­sid­er­ing you for the position.
9. Call your employer to thank him even if you are not employed – You may not be the suit­able one that they are look­ing for.  It’s ok.  Leave a good impres­sion as it may come in handy in future.  They made con­sider you for other posi­tions too!  Also learn the mis­takes that you are lack­ing and fine tune your approach and the resume.
