Exercises to the subject:
Getting a job is a very hard period in the life of most people. Companies choose an employee from hundreds of candidates according to special rules, that's why there are special ‘typical' factors, influencing on employer's choice. Among such factors are: age, sex, experience, family background and marital status, personality and references.
Here are the steps you need to take to get a job:
- decide what you want to do;
- get the training or education you need;
- search for jobs;
- write a resume/CV and a cover letter;
- apply for jobs (send a resume/CV and a cover letter or fill out an application);
- go for an interview;
- provide references;
- send a thank you letter.
Career planning means that instead of just taking the first decent job that's available, you develop a strategy for finding the right job that matches your individual goals and needs. If you take the time to plan your career you'll be a lot happier with the job you get and probably make more money too.
The more skills and education that you have, the better jobs you'll be able to get and the more money you'll make. What level of training or education that's right for you depends on what kind of job you want.
Here are four of the best ways to search for a job (for the most success, do as many of them as you can):
- search for jobs online;
- go to a one-stop career center;
- look in the newspaper;
- networking.
