Finding a job is not easy if you are new in the labor force. And finding the right company to apply with is not an assurance that you will get the job you needed. Worse if you have the qualifications for the right job you needed and yet many are more qualified than you. And much worst if you got the right job and yet you are not receiving the right pay for your job well-done. That is why there are so many Filipinos out ther who belong to the labor force yet remained unemployed for reason that it is not really easy to find the right job.
So, I decided to spend some of my times and a little of my spaces here to help guide those who are dying to get some of the lucks in applying for the jobs they needed.
But, first thing first. The first you have to do is prepare your resumé or curriculum vitae (CV), or simply your biodata, before taking the long lines out there for the interviews. If you don’t know how to prepare one, you can ask your friends or any member of your family who knows how to prepare. There are many ready-made formats of biodata you can buy from the store. Just simply fill-out the information according to the form you bought. A curriculum vitae is like a biodata but is longer and contains more of your educational attainment and qualifications, inluding list of your work experiences. A resumé on the other hand is one with a more elaborative format and the best tool you can have when applying for a job. It includes your working skills and detailed discriptions of your previous jobs. There are tips and techniques in the internet on how to prepare an effective resumé or curriculum vitae.
It is better to have mastered even just the way how to prepare an effective resumé or CV than no preparations at all.
I have additional tips for local job seekers.
ReplyDelete1. Create a good and honest resume.
Having a good and honest resume will help you ace and interview since you don't have to make up stories about how good you are and what you do.
2. Know your Job Market. Make a list of companies/Establishments where you are applying to. Then sort it by company reputation or company size then give priority to companies which are stable and has better reputation in terms of perks and salary compensation.
3. Chill and build your confidence. What most interviewer look for are those applicants who are confident with their answers. Don't treat your interview as your enemy, treat them like a friend or someone helping out. Besides they're just doing their job.
