Hello everyone, another great day to celebrate life.. Enjoy, if your going to school or working. Be happy do your best.. Whether or not the job is not exactly what you want or the teachers are hard to handle,. Be happy.. Now to my tips.
I have many tips that worked for me..
1) Create a Portfolio- Meaning - keep reference , keep letters of recommendations. - keep work experiences- include - phone numbers and addresses and of course name of your supervisors.
2) Keep a log of the jobs you applied fro,, dates resumes sent out or uploaded.
follow up with emails - phone calls soon after submission
3) Exercise , it relieves stress and keep you rejuvenated during your job search, it creates a routine , like work.. '
4) Always smile at any chance you meet a potential employer, job fairs, interviews, seminars, golf events.. always smile and don't be afraid your looking for employment.. Smile and and shake hands,, and don't seem desperate.. Actually be in charge,, Get into the thinking.. they are luck to have me..
5) Always tailor your resume to the job descriptions. and always have resumes with you when you , you never know when a job is open.
5) Use Internet job searches and resume tips. or programs. Linked In was very helpful for me.. and always be open to tips and suggestions especially those that have a job.
6) Don't burn bridges and always keep in mind , jobs can pop up anywhere, consider everything and anything and be flexible.. Remember-- There are millions looking for job.. In other words be humble , and always be your best in person , face book or what.. You never know when a employer may be considering you ,, only to see that you drink every day , or your mingling with undesirables , whatever that means.. In today's world , image and perception is everything and anything.. Anything that puts you in unfavorable light or doubt , could cost you a job, a career or an opportunity. Its hard , I know , but today's companies are so into image and protecting their product.. They don't want attention freaks or cry babies , that need attention They want someone that is focused on life's real issues , like paying the bills, taking care of family and friends and the company they work for.. It may sound like a sad reality, But reality is life and we all have to abide. by it. I lived the Military life for 20 years and I have encountered all kinds of bosses and supervisors that were something else.. I also encountered all you can imagine,so civilian life in nothing compared to what i used to do and What I'm going to do..
7) Practise Interview responses, make up a list of questions that your future employer may ask. you don't need to memorize . just have a outline , and top points and base your responses on that .. Also be consistent in your responses and answers. be patient.
8) Imagine problem you had at work and how you resolved them.. Think of some and be ready to answer with conviction ,, and be loud , clear , precise and make eye contact.
9) Be enthusiastic about everything about company- keep details of company in your portfolio,. and be ready to interview anytime. Always be in the mood. Like I said a quiet meeting at church , or gym session, could open up doors.. Be vigilant and be positive about your abilities and skills.. Sell your self.. if you don't believe in yourself,, No one else will..
10) Last tip Have faith , you will get hired and be confident in your abilities and remember God is watching those that care for others.Don't let past rejections from work, life, ex wife , girl friend, boy friend , both bother you.. Keep your eye on The prize and when that opportunities happens. Score. I had many rejections than acceptance and it was devastating to my ego and pride, But I took each rejection as a learning experience and approach my next job inquiry. It was a hard , long and many times frustrating process. But after a few interviews and rejections. I finally got it right..Which is,, Sell your self and above all get along with your interviewers. they are going to be your peers or bosses and they are trying to see if they can get along with you and work with you. Alot of people forget that.. but its true the interview is more of Lets get to know you,, and you need to embrace and go for it!!! Good Luck in your job search, and if you follow one or none or some.. If anything just get started and be vigilant and Never Give up.. I'm happy with my life and I'm looking forward to my new career and I'm hoping all of you reach your goals and aspirations, Take care and Enjoy life. if anything , that's the whole key to enjoying life. Enjoying what you do!!
