Find Your Dream Career |
1.
Know who you are, and not just your name. What are your interests?
What skills do you possess? Are you cheerful, bubbly, and
a people-person? Maybe becoming a teacher is for you. Do you
love to get out a saw and wood and create projects? Maybe
an architect is the job you want. Spend an hour in a private
place, or get together with a friend. Talk about the things
you love. Write them down, and analyse them when you're done.
See if you can put together an idea |
2. If you have an idea of what you want to do, read up on
it! Head for the library, or surf the web. Read as much as
you can about your career choice. If you decide you chose
wrong, analyse your skills again. Talk with a parent, friend,
or professor about what they think. |
3. Utilise several different job search techniques and do each of them well. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. |
4. Keep in touch with people who can positively influence your job search and career. In your future career pursuit, simple reference letter can be of crucial importance. |
5. Try to learn about why you don't get every job you apply
for. Learn from your mistakes. |
6. Before you start applying for jobs ensure you know what you're looking for. A good job search is a focused job search. Make sure to tailor you Resume or CV according to job position that you are applying for. |
7. Don't apply for job you aren't qualified for. One of the worst things is lying on your Resume. You might ruin your chances with a company for a job you are qualified for in the future. |
8. Manage your references. Don't assume there isn't such a
thing as a bad reference. There is. And it can cost you jobs. |
9. Plan your career with a long term focus. Short term gain
can cause long term pain. |
10. Take command of your career. Don't rely on other people
to get the job for you. Nobody knows you better than your
self, just do it. |
