Im job hunting for the first time: any tips? |
Im job hunting for the first time: any tips? Make sure to be there before its time for your interview. Get to know all what u can about the company r the position that you r applying for. Do not use any slang. Be as professional as possible and be honest with the interviewer. Every one has had to do this and needed their start from somewhere. Good Luck!!! Wear a nice outfit Have your resume spell checked (if you have a resume) Don't chew gum Turn off your cell phone during the interview If you want the job, ask for it (politely) Have references Show up a few minutes early Cover your tattoos and piercings Speak honestly and from the heart Don't talk about your personal life If ya fail a few times to get a job, DONT GIVE UP Also if you are in need of some extra cash for the meanwhile checkout: http://www.rippedwallet.com/pages/?refid... I LOVE TEMPING BCUZ THE PAY IS PRETTY COOL. THE MINIMUM THEY USUALLY START U OFF @ IS 11.00 HR. BUT MAY INCREASE DEPENDING ON THE JOB. BUT IF U NEED SOMETHING STEADY AND LONGTERM THEN IT'S NOT 4U BCUZ AN ASSIGNMENT CAN B 2 DAYS R 2 MONTHS. BUT IF UR INTERESTED IT'S KELLY SERVICES @ 310-855-1561 WITH DIFFERENT LOCATIONS. ALSO WHAT TYPE OF WORK R U LOOKING 4? I MIGHT HAVE MORE LEADS. Apply to as many companies as possible. Monster, Yahoo Hotjobs, Careerbuilder are some of the largest job boards, where you can apply for jobs and upload your resume. Since Craigslist, allows free job postings, many smaller companies post their vacancies on this online classifieds website. You can also search for jobs from multiple websites using aggregators like SimplyHired and Indeed. Referrals also are becoming a increasingly popular way to get hired. More details and website links available at http://www.pcworkathome.net/jobwebsites.... try headhunters. sometimes they do wonders. they'll find you a job and prep you for the interview. Buy a Sunday paper with the job ads, look at them. Circle or highlight the ones that look interesting. Talk with your friends about where they have worked or currently worked, if they like it, and why or why not. That will help you know which places treat their employees like crap, what their pay rates are like, and the like. Also consider what your interests are. If you think you might want to be a doctor, is there a medical office that you could work in answering phones? If your interest is photography, is there a photography studio that you could work at, like a corporate chain, where you could learn the basics? When I was looking for my first job, I didn't consider my interests, I was just looking for a paycheck, as most people do, and also as most people do, I hated my first job after the first 3 months of newness wore off. Ask around at what good places are to work. Practice interviewing with a parent or another adult, and dress for success! Shake hands firmly to show that you are confident. Good luck! |
