JOB HUNTING SUCCESS

3. 1F O C U S
FOCUS on specific types of
jobs rather than any odd job.
Define some basic criteria you're looking for
in a job, such as skills you'd like to use or
develop & the type of work environment.

4. 2A T T I T U D ELooking for a job can be frustrating. The
right mindset can make or break your
search. Make sure you are:

Not taking rejection personally

5. 3P R E P A R A T I O N
PREPARE by being highly organised. One
way to do this is by setting up a "Job
Search Command Centre". You will need:
Office supplies
Computer to apply for roles
A log of job-hunting activities
A to-do list that keeps you on track for things
like following up with employers.
Files for correspondence with prospective
employers and any other materials related to
your search

The methods you use to find a job need
to be appropriate for the type of job and
level of job you're seeking.
The job hunting methods you have to
choose from include:
Online job boards & company
websites
Direct mail (apply directly to
organisations you've researched by
calling, emailing or mailing a cover
letter and resume - then following up)
Newspapers (classified & help
wanted ads)
Employment agencies
Networking & job fairs

The way you follow up on resumes you
send out, calls you make and interviews
you can go on can make or break your
search.
The main rule of following through is to
keep at it. Persistence is key. Follow
through with courtesy - it never pays to
harass people.
You don't need to call every day but
maybe call once a week. There are no
hard & fast rules about exactly when to
call after you've sent a resume or how
many times to call when your waiting to
hear the results of an interview.
