When looking for a job it is easy to get overwhelmed and not know where to start. In the video below I share tips on how to improve your job hunting. I have shared these tips with many of my colleagues over the years and they have all seen improvements in response. Follow along:
#1 Research: I highly recommend reading the book What Does Somebody Have to Do to Get a Job Around Here! 44 Insider Secrets and Tips that Will Get You Hired, By Cynthia Shapiro, which shares insider knowledge about the hiring process.
#2 Prepare and proof your resume: Ask a friend for help!
#3 Build a portfolio website: You can view my professional portfolio as an example: https://www.kathleenrossdesign.com/ Consider website building tools such as Squarespace.com, Wix.com or WordPress.org
#4 Sign up for job alerts: StyleCareers, LinkedIn and Indeed all have great job alert features.
#5 Manage your contacts: Many jobs are never posted online and calling on your network could help you land a job that was never made public.
#6 Keep track of your progress: It is easy to feel like you are not making progress. By keeping notes on all of your job applications you can keep organized and feel accomplished.
BONUS: Don’t give up! Make sure you are carving out time where you can focus on your search. Even if you have been applying for a while, make sure you are reading up on tips to help improve your chances of landing the interview and the job.
