2. a. The need for a job
• A job may be important for a
sense of purpose since it
can provide goals to work
toward each day and an
income to support you
financially. It can help you
build skills and experience
that will last throughout your
career, even if you change
careers later in life.

3. Here are few reasons why we need a job:
Socialization: It can connect you with others, which
can help you learn more about the world by interacting
with customers, clients or coworkers,bosses and
learners and feel more connected to society.
Fulfillment: You may feel you achieved a goal within
your career or personal life with the job you're
currently working.

4. Income: A job may make you financially secure at
the moment and in the future by providing resources
to pay for necessities.
Skills: A job offers an opportunity to learn new skills
such as customer service, organization or public
speaking.
Wellness: Some jobs offer an opportunity to move
our bodies throughout the day, which may contribute
to our overall health.

5. b. How to find the right job?
1. Find the right job by shortlisting what you’re looking for
 Start your job search by thinking about the aspects of a job that will
appeal to you – be it flexible working hours, professional development,
or more challenging projects.
 It can help to think back over previous roles you have held and identify
which aspects were most rewarding for you. From here, draw up your
“must-have” features, followed by “nice-but-not-necessary” aspects of a
role. This can go a long way towards helping you answer the question
“What job suits me?”

6. 2. Start with a clear strategy
 Depending on the type of role you are
looking for, demand for candidates can
exceed supply. But the most attractive roles
typically command strong competition as
skilled and experienced professionals aim
for career progression.
 This makes it all the more important to develop a job search
strategy. Adopting an organised, structured approach gives
you a far greater chance of being the chosen candidate for
your ideal role.

7. 3. Consider all your skills
• Your professional skills will be a decisive element in the
nature of work you are qualified to undertake. But don’t
overlook other competencies that could also be an asset
in the workplace.
• Volunteer activities can develop leadership and
collaborative skills. Or you may be an outstanding public
speaker. These sorts of skills developed outside of work
or formal training can be highly valued by hiring managers
so be sure to mention them in your resume. They could
be the surprise factor that helps you find the right job.

8. 4. Devote time to job hunting
• With a firm idea of what you are looking for in a job plus a
good understanding of the skills you bring to an employer,
it’s time to commit to the job hunting process. That means
making time to go out and find the right job even if you are
busy with your existing role and other responsibilities.
• Leave no stone unturned. Look through job advertisements
across a number of platforms to maximise your options. If
you are not currently working, treat your job search as if it
were a full-time position, ensuring you spend as much time
as possible identifying suitable job vacancies and working
on applications.

9. 5. Focus on suitable roles
• It’s worth focusing on roles that will put your skills and
experience to good use – even if it means waiting until the
ideal position becomes available. Not only will this increase
your likelihood of being considered for the role, it can also
help you find the right job – one that challenges and rewards
you.
• Appraise your skills and consider whether somebody with
your qualifications and level of experience will appeal to the
employer in question. If you have doubts about whether you
can fulfil the role, or conversely, if you won’t be sufficiently
challenged by the job, it’s possible a hiring manager will too.

10. 6. Have your resume ready to go
• Your resume is an important document – after all it is your
first point of contact with a hiring manager, and it provides
a great opportunity to promote yourself to employers.
However, you never know when the ideal role will become
available so it’s smart practice to have an up-to-date
resume at all times.
• Maximise the value of your resume by making sure it
contains concise details of your skills, qualifications and
experience. Then, when an attractive job opportunity
arises, tailor your resume to the role in question.

11. 7. Explore every option
• Finding the right job can call for an open mind. Your
dream role could evolve over time – for instance,
temporary or project-based roles may lead to a
permanent job. It means such opportunities shouldn't be
rejected out of hand as you could arrive at your dream job
by an unexpected path.
• Being open to all options gives you the best possible
chance to develop your career and acquire new skills –
and ultimately, it will all help you find the job that’s perfect
for you.

12. Requirement of the job
• Job requirements are “must haves” that an
employer is looking for in a candidate for a certain
job position. Job requirements aren’t just a list of
specific qualifications, education, knowledge and
skills needed for a particular position. They are a
great opportunity to showcase what you have in
order to attract the employer and will eventually
hire you!

13. These qualifications include:
• Work experience - types and
amounts (years) of work experience
• Skills (soft skills and/or technical
skills)
• Specific knowledge
• Education level and type
• Professional licenses, accreditations
and certifications
• Personal qualities and attributes
• Languages
• Physical abilities

14. For Employers
• Employer use job requirements as a way of preselecting
potential candidates.
• Job requirements are used to communicate employer’s
expectations from job seekers.
• By laying out clearly defined job requirements, employers
can attract the right type of candidates. Over or under
qualified candidates will be turned away from applying,
thus saving employers a lot of time and money in the long
run.

15. For job seekers
• For job seekers, job requirements are the
crucial part of job postings (job ads).
• Job requirements section of the job ads
clearly states what an employer is looking
for. That way, potential candidates can
know what is required of them before
applying.
• If they match all the job requirements
criteria, it means they are a good fit for a
job.

16. 5 Tips For Hiring The Right Employee
1. Look for Someone With a Commitment to Their
Career
A person committed to his or her career is the candidate you want
to hire. You don't want to hire an employee who switches careers
or jobs frequently, just to get a higher salary. If a candidate is not
loyal to any company, hiring this person could definitely be a
problem for your business.
Always check the candidate's previous job duration and if he or
she is switching jobs constantly, this is definitely not the right
person for the job.

17. 2. Test for Excellent Learning and Analytical Skills
Try to use different methodologies to assess the learning
and analytical skills of your candidates. Testing candidates
might be tricky, but don’t evaluate candidates merely on the
basis of their resume and their confidence because a
resume can contain lies.
• A candidate with confidence is great, but what you really
want is a candidate that has the right skills and
educational requirements.

18. • You want to find an employee that will fit in with your
company, organization or school. Check whether the
candidate has social skills to get along with others,
especially with current employees and managers.
• Remember, willingness is one of the primary things a
candidate must possess to work with you. And if a person
cannot get along with previous colleagues or previous
bosses, it's not such a great idea to hire that candidate.
3. Check Compatibility

19. 4. Keep Improving Your Hiring Process
• Whether you are hiring employees for a big organization
or looking for some potential candidates to build your
start-up, the hiring process is the first and foremost factor
you need to focus on.
• you always need to focus on getting to know the
capabilities, knowledge, skills, confidence, attitude, and
potential of the candidate.

20. • People may disagree, but this is one of the best ways to hire
the right employee for your business. You know all of their
strengths, weaknesses, skills, knowledge, attitudes, behavior,
confidence levels, and even practical evidence of work. What
else do you need to know?
• You've already done the hard work in picking an intern, so
why not hire from this potential pool when looking to fill
permanent positions?
5. Don’t Forget to Hire Interns
