Finding Job Opportunities | Job Seeker's Tip
I agree with Ina Teves, an OD Consultant, when he admonished a job seeker:
"True preparation for the job interview – and for the job itself – starts with knowing yourself. Examine your accomplishments, your hobbies, things that get you motivated, comments from friends and mentors about what you are good at. These all point out where your gifts lie, where your heart finds joy, and where you might shine. Take a look at situations that make you watch the clock, that rob you of energy, and that make you feel like you’re doing penance. These point to your weaknesses. Matching your temperament to your career will put you in a better position to do well in that career."
Most job applicants rely solely on the resume to get a job. It is only one of the tools to get you into the Recruitment’s Office’s door. It is indispensable, yes.
However, an honest self-assessment is what gets you the job. Sometimes, we can easily gloss over our capabilities and accomplishments through a well written resume, but that can only get you on the desk of the recruitment officer, no farther.
You cannot land on your ‘dream job’ unless you know what you are capable of and how you will par with the job position you are applying for. More so, this will aid you to answer the interview questions smartly and honestly.
Let me conclude this post with Teves’ advise:
When you look for a job, do not merely look for work, something to tide you over from payday to payday.
