You have more control over your job seekers than you think. Avoid these common misconceptions that unnecessarily can extend your job hunt.
Recruiters working on your behalf
Recruiters and head hunters working for its client (the company pay them to fill a vacancy) rather than for job seekers. They are often hired to find a candidate with specialist skills, or very specific experience.
If you change your career, it is often more fruitful to obtain opportunities yourself. But if you have skills in demand, recruiters who work in your area should be an important element in your job hunting strategy. Be clear which jobs or companies you are interested in, and get advice on how best to present your CV or prepare for an interview. Recruiters have often valuable inside knowledge of companies and executives who they work with.
Not chasing recruiters with phone calls and treat them as you would treat anyone on your network — by giving and ask. So rather than to require only that the question of appropriate vacancies, pass along useful information, such as potential leads or name. Aim to build and maintain long-term relationships: a Recruiter who specializes in your industry may be able to place you at different times in your career.
Employer will appreciate your previous job and how it is relevant
Large number of applications means that hiring managers scan CV quickly to ignore them does not match the requirements. Make sure your not exempted by analyzing it from the reader's perspective.
If you change the industry or role, use the correct terminology and (if necessary) learn how to change the direction of your skills and experience to make them relevant.
Be clear what problems you solve and what value you take right from the beginning of your CV – not bury your key selling points at the bottom of the page two.
Your referee will give a glowing reference
You need not provide references on your resume or to write "references available upon request". But prepare the references for the interview. Find ex-bosses or colleagues who can guarantee a credible for your professional skills and attitude. Send them a copy of the job description and your CV and then discuss issues they may be asked about your personality and job performance. why you left and if they would use you again. Priming your judges as they should be better prepared and more convincing, but it also means that you can smooth out any differences.
Interviews are all about the interviewer
As you already are a serious contender for the role of acting part of a certain professional and treat your interview as a two-way meeting, instead of a single-sided grill locations. Your aim should be to determine whether the work or undertaking is a good match by asking thoughtful questions that indicates your desire to make the right career choices. You'll be much more attractive than a candidate who seems desperate to take all available jobs.
Not adopt the interviewer know you are anxious to get the job. Employers prefer candidates who are enthusiastic about them and the opportunity, so if you want the job, ask for it in the end, and explain why.
