Third thing to focus on when job hunting

Next on the list of to do list:
1. Call only once or twice a week MAX when you are calling to see if you could get an interview
2. Hand shakes do count, make sure you shake hands with a firm grip (but it is not wrestling time)
3. Make sure to walk towards the person who is going to interview you.
4. Dress attire is very important, make sure to dress to impress!
5. Try your best to remember the interviewers name before you leave, so that when you leave you say goodbye "name". (They really like that)

Second Steps When Finding a Job

This is now the second level in which you should be thinking about when searching for a job:
1. You must be creative when creating your resume.
2. When you look at your resume, Do you think you have anything missing? Then have a friend check it over and see if they feel you have something missing in your resume. Usually there is always something missing within your resume that another person will catch.
3. If the opportunity comes, have an industry representative fix up your resume to how they feel they would like it if they were to hire someone.
4. Study and memorize everything that is on your resume because the person who interviews you may ask you questions related to your work experience, and you must be able to answer it within one minute which must be clear and precise
5. Once again have a friend test you to see how well you can describe your experiences and your background.
6. ONE MAJOR FACTOR: Get to the point, do not try to go around questions because it only makes you look worse.
7. Be passionate about the work you are about to do, do not apply to places you really do not want to work at.
8. Lastly apply to every known corporation you would like to apply to. Use every resource you can when applying for jobs.

On my webpage on the side panels you may be able to see some different links to different websites that will also allow you to post your resumes and apply to different jobs around the world. Feel free to check out the links posted around my page and get started with applying to different jobs.

First Steps When Finding Jobs

First things to think about before you do anything.
1. Research in depth the different industrial corporations that you would like to work with and make sure they have the work related material that relates to your major.
2. Know alot of the background to the company you plan to apply to so that you are well prepared when you try to get in contact with Human Resources within the corporation.
3. Allow yourself some time to practice your presentation skills, to be prepared for any interview type questions so that you would not cause embarass yourself by not knowing how to answer questions they may ask you.
4. Last but not least you will want to create your own resume which I would be glad to help you with if you do not have one already set up.
