There comes a time in every person’s life when they have to engage in the job market and find a suitable career, which can seem a rather daunting prospect, and if you are in your final year of education and are thinking about career options, here are a few tips to help you land that perfect job.
ü Presenting an Image – When you are on the hunt for employment, you are selling yourself, and the image you project should be one of enthusiasm, ambition and a desire for a challenge. In most cases, the first contact a potential employer has with you is reading your resume. Invest a little in professional resume services, as this ensures that you present yourself in a professional manner and recruitment staff take notice of the layout and content of a CV. In the section where you describe yourself as a person, this is a great opportunity to say the right things and therefore, you should have a professional write this section, as they know what employers like to see in a candidate.
ü Research the Employer – This is essential, prior to a job interview, spend an hour researching the company, and during the interview, you casually mention that you are aware the company has 63 branches worldwide and was founded 35 years ago, which is guaranteed to raise an eyebrow. This tells the interviewer that you took the time to do your homework and that will be noted, plus you should know the direction of the company and their resources.

ü Job Interviews – If we look at this from the interviewer’s perspective, they are looking for a person with ambition, someone reliable who has a friendly personality and is looking for a challenging and long-term career. When you are interviewed, you will always have the opportunity to ask questions and this is a golden opportunity, which should be exploited. Asking questions shows interest, and when an applicant asks if there would be the potential for further training, this indicates that you wish to develop yourself. If you spend some time thinking about what attributes an ideal candidate would possess, you can try to tailor your character to this; if you like to sleep and watch TV in your free time, country walks and classical music are much better activities to mention. There are free online resources to help you with job interview techniques, and this is something you should explore, as the benefits are obvious. Here is some UK government information for those who are seeking employment.
Once you have your professional resume distributed with the right recruitment agencies, you can prepare to research any employer that asks you for an interview and hopefully, you will land a perfect job. Prepare at least two questions for the interviewer and having a few practice interviews with a friend is another good idea, as this will give you added self-confidence, and, of course, dress very smart and be punctual.
