Finding your dream job throughout the holiday season may seem overwhelming, but with a defined job scope, where to look, and who to network with, you’ll be creating meaningful opportunities and giving your career the boost it deserves! Below are five easy to follow tips directly from our experts here at Entech.
- Identify your career goals: Take some time to consider your options before applying for a job. What are your goals for this search and will the new opportunity meet your expectations? What existing skills are you looking to maximize? Are you looking to develop new skills? Finally, does the new position meet your “happiness factor”? Only you can answer these questions, giving a trained and competent recruiter a more complete picture of your career aspirations.
- Stay head of the competition: Start your job search as soon as possible to have access to all available opportunities within the job market. Have you identified your job search partners? Working with an industry specific recruiter will help streamline your efforts and promote efficiency within the job search.
- Update and review your resume (CV): Your resume is important in your job search. A correctly structured and easy to read resume is essential. Additionally, ensure that your resume is ATS (applicant tracking system) compliant so that it can be easily scanned and searchable within the system.
- Grow and maintain your professional network: Networking is one of the most effective methods to finding a job and most people are eager to assist! Sometimes a conversation with the right person is the most effective method. For example, LinkedIn provides an ideal platform to build and expand your professional network, promoting engagement within your industry.
- Try different avenues: There are many available tools for job seekers to optimize their searches. Some employers post job vacancies directly on their websites, while others utilize social media or industry specific recruiting agencies, like Entech, for their hiring needs. Be prepared to explore outside your comfort zone and traditional search methods. Find your inspiration and follow it with tenacity!
