If you’re finding it tough to find a job,try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following key points:
Set your target. 1 A specific job hunt will be more efficient than an ordinary one.
Plan enough interviews.Use every possible method to get interviews—answering ads,using search firms,contacting companies directly,surfing the Web,and networking. 2
Follow up. 3 Then,some weeks later,send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position,for that matter—is open. 4
5 You can’t find a job by looking at times.You have to make time for it.If you’re unemployed and looking,devote as much time as you would to a full-time job.
A.Do this with every position you interview for,and you may just catch a break.
B.Even if a job is not perfect for you,every interview can be approached as a positive experience.
C.Value the chance of work.
D.You should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job.
