If you do have to settle at first for a job that allows you to make ends meet, knowing what you enjoy doing and what you're eventually intending to do will help keep your options open. Also, employers are interested in knowing that you have goals.
They are attracted to people who are motivated by personal aspirations, even if that means you'll probably move on to other places some day. |
Second, you need a smashing resume! Resume services can run anywhere from $150 to $1,000. This may seem pretty steep, but if that resume is what leads to an interview that eventually gets you a $150,000 per year job, wouldn't you say the investment definitely paid off? In order to be sure that you get a quality resume, get recommendations from friends. If they know someone good, you should probably hire them. However, if you must go with an unknown, be sure that the person you hire is a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers (PARW) or
another association. This membership binds them to a certain code of ethics. In addition, you can choose someone using Square Trade or another seal of professionalism and quality; these types of companies offer dispute resolution services.
Finally, prepare for your interview. Learn as much as possible about the companies where you will be interviewing, and dress the part for success in their
company when you go to the interview. In addition, be friendly toward the secretary when you're making calls to set up your appointment and when you are waiting. They may not determine whether you get to the job, but they can decide how comfortable the job will be for you. Once you are well prepared, you'll be able to go in, speak intelligently, and sell yourself. Make sure the potential employer knows EXACTLY why you are the perfect person for this job!
Follow these steps and you may not find your dream job right from the start, but you'll at least be on your way. You'll have figured out your goals before applying, so your dream job is a possibility now. If you have to wait, that will be okay because for the time being you'll have an income, and you know where you're heading. Good luck snagging your first big job, and remember always follow your dreams!
