\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Getting a job is not easy, especially with the increasing population of the world, but it isn’t impossible either. In the labour market, only 5 things count the most, and we\u2019d be examining them on this post.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHO DO YOU KNOW?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a sad reality that landing a job in today\u2019s world very much depends on the kind of network you have built for yourself. Who do you know? What kind of network do you have? That is the reason a lot of people are encouraged to make friends and create networks that consist of people of note. Because to be honest when the chips are down, that much desired help may depend on it. And when it doesn’t directly do, indirectly, it will. It’s not scheming; it’s just the way the world works.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

LOCATION <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can’t compare a mega city with a growing or vastly underdeveloped one. A growing city is likely to have far less job openings than an urban area. So the ideal thing is to move to one or include one in your locations when you register with job notification companies.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

WHAT ARE YOUR SKILLS?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is sad, but the truth is a lot of job-hunters (educated and uneducated) don\u2019t really know what they have to offer. They don\u2019t have any area of specialty or any skill to offer. This possibly limits their chances to apply for jobs outside their background course at college.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

THE QUALITY OF YOUR RESUM\u00c8 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Your resum\u00e8 is you and you are your resum\u00e8. Nobody is going to reach out to someone who cannot sell themselves well enough or who has a poorly put together CV. Your chances of getting or not getting that job largely depends on the kind of CV you put together. So as you prepare that CV, it’s important to pay attention to the following areas…<\/p>\n

Keywords <\/em><\/p>\n

Format<\/em><\/p>\n

Accomplishments<\/em><\/p>\n

Sometimes, a powerful CV works even better than proper networking.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

INTERVIEW SKILLS <\/strong><\/p>\n

Excelling in an interview is an art you need to master. It is not just a question and answers series, it\u2019s more psychological than you\u2019ve ever imagined. When you answer interview questions, there are certain things that interviewers look at, and they include;<\/p>\n

Dressing<\/em><\/p>\n

Confidence<\/em><\/p>\n

Work experience<\/em><\/p>\n

Communication Ability<\/em><\/p>\n

Remuneration scale<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There’s no magic wand to securing a job anywhere, but scoring positive in all the aforementioned areas takes you a step closer to securing one\u2013 all things remaining equal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
