In the end, the goal is to get a job that will optimize our skills, pay well enough to give financial stability, and broaden your horizon. The truth is that there is no short cut to securing a job but there are a few questions that when you answer, you’ll be closer to achieving your goals.

What are you looking for?

There are a lot of job offers online and one can easily be distracted or sidelined. To secure job online is tricky and and the regular rules sometimes, do not apply. Many companies publish their job openings online. In addition, some websites are solely dedicated to publishing a wide variety of job openings. You need to take into account what your qualifications and skills are.

When taking into account your qualifications, don’t be too rigid. There are job opportunities that your qualifications may be able to be bent to suit. The thing is to avoid going for jobs that you are totally unqualified for and have no prior knowledge of. Pay close attention to detail and be sure to meet the qualifications and to have the necessary documentation.

Have you considered your geographical location?

Companies are definitely going to give first consideration to those qualified candidates whose proximity to work place is close. It is no news that a lot of people miss job opportunities because they were late for an interview. You definitely do not want to fall into that category.

What if you do get the job? How will transportation affect your paycheck at the end of the day? How convenient will it be, going to work every day?

How vast is your networking?

Networking is something that most people have over looked when it come to job hunting. Are you part of that group? You should know that the more people who are aware that you are looking for a job and of your qualifications, the higher your chances of actually getting employed.  You may have mentioned it to someone, and that person starts pushing for a place for you in his or her work place. In another instance, a job opening that suits your portfolio might be available and someone who knows about you could recommend you or refer you to the necessary link.

Be aware that your qualifications and skills are up for sale so keep networking.

Are your documents up to par?

People often say “the way you dress is the way you choose to be addressed”. In this regard, the way you present your documents and the format in which they appear, go a long way to tell if you stand a chance or if your documents will be flung to the side at first glance.

Take time to prepare all necessary documentation; CV, Resume, Cover letter, and the likes. You may want to have your I.D cards, Passport photograph, and Reference letters ready (depending on the requirements).

How prepared are you for an interview?

Just like school days when students wait till the examination timetable is out before they prepare for the actual exams, people also wait until they receive the interview date before they start preparing for the interview. WRONG!

You ought to be readily available for an interview at all times until you secure that job. The moment you apply for a job with a company, find out as much as you can about that company and prepare for questions that they would likely ask you.

It is also great to plan ahead in terms of outfit. Remember “the way you dress is the way you choose to be addressed”. Most importantly keep a positive outlook; it will all work out in the end.
