HOW TO GET HIRED
IN 7 STEPS

2. Your resume is a snapshot of your skills, experience and professional objectives. It is important to keep it up to date. You should also highlight your most relevant skills and experience.

3. NETWORK
When job searching, it isn’t necessarily all about “what you know”, "who you know" is just as important. Start by making sure your business colleagues, family and friends know you are looking for a job and ask them for their help.

4. Alumni are a valuable source for potential job opportunities. They are also likely to help fellow alumni and form social networking groups on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter. Join these groups and be active to increase your visibility.

5. Search social networking sites such as LinkedIn for contacts within relevant organisations. Make them aware of your interests and career objectives. Many will be willing to help, and once again you have expanded your network.

6. PART TIME & VOLUNTEERING
Whilst searching for a job can be very time consuming, it is important to demonstrate you are active doing other things. Take a part-time job or volunteer. This is also a great way to meet new people and expand your network.

7. Be realistic! Bare in mind that you might not find your dream job the first time. Don’t rule out other areas of occupation and consider accepting a temporary job which will expand your level of experience and can lead to a full time position.
NEW OPPORTUNITIES

8. Be aware that the job hunt can be a long process. Set yourself goals, i.e. number of applications sent, phone calls and company searches. Once you have accomplished these goals, take some time for yourself and set new goals for the next day.
