Hello fellow job lookers, First of
all, you need to make sure if there aren't any basic problems with your profile
like
1. Make sure your contact list is updated, it might seem silly but
sometimes an update is all we need. 2. Make sure all your job profile links are
attached and can be viewed by prospective hiring people.
3. Lastly, make sure
you have an intact resume and a bio that says something about you because a
blank will give us just that.. blank!
Now that we're past doing all are basic
checkups you need to ask yourself what is it that will grab attention to you?
The answer is plain and simple - your Resume or CV. Now, there are 100s of
resumes a hiring committee goes through yours need to stand out.
Here are a few
tips on a lucrative resume.
1. Don't be shy, if there was one time you had to
show off this is the time dear. Mention your skills don't hide them!
2. Gain
new skills. If there is a field you are interested in & you think you can do
better no problem just learn, it’s never too late.
3. Flaunt your achievements.
You won an excellence award in 8th grade let them know! No achievement is
small.
4. Don't Lie! Yes as tempting as that sounds stick to the truth don't be
ashamed of a short resume, we all start somewhere and build as we go.
Another the major thing we bypass is, are we applying to the right job?
1. Check job
requirements carefully and see if you are really fit.
2. It’s okay to start
small, hitting for big job roles that you might not qualify for (yet) will
mostly end up in a rejection which can be a major answer to why you’re not
getting those calls.
3. Before you choose and apply always remember to ask
yourself what is it that you can offer them and not anyone else? mention it in
your why should you be hired?
In the end, id like to say a few clichés but
important things.
1. Remember rejection is not the end; it’s just a step
forward to your success that's just around the corner.
2. Be confident and trust
yourself, Good luck!
