Finding & applying for jobs resourcesJob searchA good job search strategy should include a well defined online strategy when it comes to registering, posting or building an online resume or CV. The internet holds a vast amount of information that is helpful on your quest for work; you can use it to your advantage searching for information any where in the world at any time day or night. Information can be found using recruiters websites, company websites, online newspapers and websites specialising in recruitment, these are all prime examples of how the internet can help you. Many sites specialising in online recruitment will offer you the chance to write your resume or CV online providing you with examples and tips on how to write the most successful resume. Usually the site will take you through a step by step process of filling in your resume online and once you have your details registered with them a large potential amount of recruiters and employers will have access to your resume or CV. Many of these types of sites will also have an email option where if there are jobs available that match your criteria then you will be notified. Application letters Your letter of application will introduce you and your resume or CV to the potential employer and it should contain three distinct parts, an introduction, a statement relevant to the position offered and a conclusion. The first part should contain information where you saw the advertisement, for example the internet source where you found the job listed. The second part should state why you are the best person for the job, before writing this section you should make sure you have read the details of the job well and put down any qualifications, degrees or achievements that you have which go towards explaining why you are the best candidate. The concluding section should be used to express your interest in the job and any specific contact details that you have. Responding to advertisements Before responding to advertisements you should contact the person, who is in charge of the recruiting assignment if you think this could be the best course of action, advertisements will usually give some form of indication as to whether this is the course to take and their preferences for example an email or hard copy. For example if the advertisement says email your address or for further details contact. then take this as an opportunity to discuss this with the recruiter. Other questions you could ask at this stage could be,"can you tell me more about the job? "What salary comes with the job?" Or "why has the job become available?" The main aim of this is to find out if it is worthwhile you applying for the position in the first place. Filed under: Job search |
