were you fired? Did you resign? Or just finished college? There are many reasons to find a job as quickly as possible. For example, it looks good to have a resume without gaps. That is why it is advisable to start reviewing job advertisements as soon as possible. Be sure to adopt the following strategies to greatly increase your chances of getting hired.
one) Networking with everyone you know should know about your Job search
If you see a shooting star or blow out your birthday candles, you can’t say your wish or it will never come true. In fact, that’s a lie!
-
Tell everyone you know that you are looking for a job. You never know who might know someone whose uncle of a friend is hiring.
-
Don’t be too shy to ask people if the company they work for is hiring. Try to find opportunities anywhere.
-
The more people you tell that you’re looking for a job, the more likely someone can help you.
-
Reach out to your acquaintances by asking them to ask their relationships for you. Reach out to train colleagues, chefs, teachers, etc. and find out if they have heard of any open positions.
-
Post on social media that you need a job to communicate with acquaintances you don’t see regularly. Join groups where job postings are shared and follow companies that interest you to see their vacancies first.
2) Apply anyway
In job advertisements, companies describe their ideal candidate. Most of the time they have to accept compromises like everyone else. It is very rare that you find your perfect job, the same goes for companies looking for their ideal candidate.
Dare to apply anyway, even if you don’t meet all the specifications they list. As long as you meet the main requirements, you’ll most likely be hired because they can’t find anyone better. You can probably learn the less important skills during the training period or take an additional course.
3) Take advantage of the classifieds
-
Buy some newspapers and take a look at their classified ads section. They still have job market sections with job postings you might not find online.
-
Also check out classified ad websites. There you can find thousands of jobs generally grouped by location and professional field.
-
A third option is classified ad search engines, which collect and list job postings from multiple pages. They help you save time and effort because you don’t need to refer to multiple pages. However, you should investigate if you can find other pages that have job openings that are not listed on the classified ad pages.

4) Make the most of employment websites
Most aggregators offer features that make it easy to find the right search results. Use them by exploring the enhanced search options: for example, search by keyword, location, job title, etc. or try combining multiple parameters for better results.
It doesn’t matter if you’re on a job search website or a classifieds site, they usually offer free email alerts. There you can sign up with your email address, choose the right keywords, or even save an advanced search and they’ll email you a new job listing. That way you don’t have to go through the pages over and over again. Instead, you get the latest job offers automatically delivered to your inbox.
With these features you can make sure you don’t waste time on job aggregator pages that don’t have the jobs you’re looking for. However, you can still stay up to date if they get matching openings.
5) Ask for feedback
It’s tough when your job application is rejected. It’s even harder when you put a lot of effort into your application and you really wanted that job. To improve future applications you should not want to leave it here. Get over your pride and ask them why they rejected you. The answer may hurt, but that’s the only way to learn from your mistakes. Perhaps the human resources representative can provide helpful advice to help you land the next job he’s applying for.
6) Just keep applying. Just keep applying.
This tip doesn’t just relate to situations where your application was rejected and you need to go ahead and apply to other companies. But you should also keep applying for jobs while you wait to hear from a company. Even if you are absolutely sure that you will be hired, do not stop applying until you sign a contract, because the unexpected can always happen. The worst that can happen is that you are offered more than one position and you are in the fortunate situation of choosing.
