2. Job hunting can be quite a challenge. One of the most common ways
to find out about a job is to look for openings in the newspaper.Nowadays,
it can be from other media resources to find a job. Another suprisingly
helpfull technique is to ask around for job openings. When you come
across a job prospect that interests you, you will need to send a letter and
resume.
If the employer is interested in you, he will contact you by telephone
or mail to come in for an interview. Be sure to dress in clothing appropriate
for the job you desire.Be confident and honest in your interview. If
everything goes well, you should get the job.
An application letter and its accompanying resume provide employers
with the first impression of an applicant. Since employers often have to
select from hundreds of letters, an applicant should try to write a letter that
will be at least among the top ten or,if possible, among the top five chosen
in order to be assured of an interview. But before writing an application
letter.the applicant should first search for a vacanciesin newspaper
advertisement.The applicant studies each advertisement to see whether
the job opportunity mathces his or her needs,interests and educational
background.
"Please come for an interview..." is probably the response that
anyone who has sent an application letter looks forward to most. A job
interview is actually a follow up to an application letter which the personnel
manager or a recruiting officer in the company has found promising. The
interview serves as a means by which future employers can get better
acquainted with the applicant.Meeting the applicant face to face,an
interview can asses the applicant through his or her responses and
behaviour during the inteview. Thus the interview is an important step for
an employer in selecting the best person for a job.
Interviewers will usually ask questions that will make them get to
know the applicant better his or her experience, what dominant personality
3. traits he or she has, or why the
applicant is applying a job.
They also want to find out if an
applicant is indeed the
person he or she claims to be in
the letter of application. This
is why an applicant should
prepare to make a good
impression in the interview.
An interviewer may ask different kinds of questions to get information
from the applicant.For examples : "Are you familiar with computer?","Why
are applying for the job?", "You majored in Economics,didn't you?", "Can
you tell me why you want to leave your present job?"
When preparing for an interview, one thing that applicant can do is to
think of possible questions the interviewer may ask so that can come up
with appropriate answers. Think of the kinds of information the interviewer
may want.
Don't forget to write a resume or also known as a curriculum vitae
(CV).A resume usually accompanies a letter of application. The resume
provides all the personal information needed by the recruiting firm to
evaluate the qualifications of the applicant. A resume gives potential
employers their first impression of the applicant.A good resume is short and
states the strong points of the applicant. It should also be well-organized
and error-free.
