Simple ways to get that job you want may be easier than you think. It is all about awareness, drive, good attitudes, perseverance, and networking.
1- Think about what you are qualified to do and/or be willing to get trained in! Bone up on your skills asap. Dress appropriately for the appointment.
2- Are you busy making friends and staying personally connected with people? I don’t mean on social media, I mean getting out there and shaking hands kind of relationships.
3- Smile, and be willing to go through the process of applying and interviews.
4- Get your resumes ready and printed. Call and ask people to be your references. Take down addresses and information the typical applications will ask you.
5- If you are on line, be sure to answer the questions you are asked appropriately and completely. Communicate complete thoughts. Don’t barge in asking for “how much” you’ll be making off the starting gate.
6- Be ready if you are refused or not replied to immediately. Keep applying and don’t wait like a lump of coal for action.
7- Don’t apply to places you are NOT QUALIFIED to hold. It is a waste of time for you and the employer.
8- Follow through with drug screening or follow-up interviews.
Put your best foot forward!
9- This sounds silly, but you are not entitled to a job. Be courteous and respectful.
10- Don’t take a job just because a friend is working there. I see this so much with young people. It isn’t to be socializing, but really committed to doing a good job. This person has jeans on, but they are not what one would wear for an interview. BEWARE!
11- If you are luck to get a job don’t start out by looking for the easy way to do it. Listen, follow instructions, and be a responsible worker.
12- Congratulations when you land the position you want. Let it be good for you and the owner.
