by Louanne Baelde Whether you are trying to get that very first job or switching your career for a new one, there are a few tips that are important to keep in mind. Research the company Research the company first before applying. This could save you hardships later on. Knowing about the business that you may go for an interview will make you feel more confident, and give you that extra edge. Learn about the history of the company, the growth, its products and its clients. This will impress the interviewer that you are knowledgeable about their business. Every owner or manager loves to hear that a future employee already takes an interest in their establishment. Volunteer Volunteering may be one of the best investments in your future. What do you have to offer? Plenty, I am sure! It not only increases the social aspects of your life, but is a great means of career exploration. When you volunteer you learn new skills and you have more work experience to place on your resume. And dont forget, you may meet people that may have connections to help you find work. As a volunteer, you get the opportunity of trying out new careers, and it also gives you a super great feeling of helping others which extends your life span. It costs nothing and helps at the same time to build your resume. Learn new skills Learning new skills can improve your job prospects, and can be a lot of fun. Change is inevitable, and learning new skills can help you grow. You will need to keep up with the times. Dont get discouraged from an uncertain future. Give yourself that extra confidence by learning some new updated skills. If youre laid-off, use this time to enroll at a local training college or pick up some online courses, or even volunteer at no costs to you. Visit local public libraries and ask for assistance to find some guide booklets on how to learn a new skill or perhaps start a new business. Prepare for the interview Chances are that the employer will be interviewing many qualified applicants. With this in mind, it is good to prepare for the interview. This may sound obvious to you and me, but several people arrive at an interview unprepared. Research the company as mentioned earlier. This will give you confidence and will make you shine. Be mentally fit and alert when you show up at an interview. No one would be interested in hiring someone that looks sluggish and tired. Look like you cant wait to begin! When you are asked Tell me something about yourself, they dont want to know about your childhood and your last separation or divorce they want to know about recent accomplishments and attributes that will make you an ideal candidate. Everything that you will say or do will make an impression at that interview. So make sure that you sit up straight, smile, and most of all be sure of yourself. If you dont know yourself inside out, and if you cant portray this in your interview, then you probably will not be selected. Think Positive Optimism matters when trying to get a job. Think positive to have the confidence that you need to land that job. If you dont your low self-esteem will show during your job interview. Focus on your strengths and let these qualities stand out. If you focus on doing this, you will feel a sense of accomplishment when you leave the interview. Realize that it is normal to be rejected at times. Learn from this and develop a new approach. Try and try again, and you will succeed!About the Author:
