If you ask anyone on the progress and the results for their job search operations, trust me the answers are never friendly neither is there a smile on their face unless they actually have the job. I sit down and think about why the job hunt is so tiring and unsuccessful most of the time. Well, I think there is somewhere we all miss a point. All of us have been in school for almost fifteen years all in the name of transforming us to useful people to the working nation. We go through a lot in school; all the early mornings, endless tests and home works and every time there was a solution for every mystery.
I remember sometimes being so carried out by having fun that the examination season bumped into us unaware. There is no way we could afford missing the exams because you would face a whole one year off the curriculum which means it’s a wasted one. A lot of resources in terms of money and time we invested during these days doing what it takes to succeed and excel.
What happens when we come out of school? Investing in ourselves is no longer important or what? I am sure that most of us just drop resumes all over the place and other online applications every other day. We do this and forget that we just need a quality resume that will steal the heart of the reader.
In my opinion, candidates should not stop investing in themselves until they get hold of that job. This time however not much financial implication is involved other than one’s time. Technology has made things a lot easier now. There is no need to seek for professional guidance in getting ready for interviews. There are so many applications in the Internet in form of videos or articles and all sorts of help you need including the frequently asked questions. So many interviews today employ tactics like aptitude tests basically to test you IQ. This is useful since it is never biased since examinations may somehow favor some people.
There are a lot of books both electronic and the hard copies about job search. Alternatively interview coaching is not expensive and here you can also face you fright in the process of role playing and answering of questions. All that is needed is, candidates need to stop being overconfidence in them and they most certainly seek help from others who have experience in interviews. They say nothing great comes easy and in this world we are fighting for the few slots that are available so we need to be extra vigilant and put in effort towards what we want.
