It is Possible to Find a Good Job in 2013

Although it may seem that you will never get the job you want, there are several tricks suggested by career advisors that anyone can apply.

1. Write down all your merits and all the reasons why you are qualified for a particular job, in the broadest sense of the word. Because when you go out and seek that job you want and act as if you are not up to it and do not deserve it, those around you will notice, and it is neither inspiring nor encouraging for those who decide whether to give you that particular job, reports Dnevnik.hr

2. The thing that will really convince you that you are on the right track and that this is your year and that you will really get things moving in your life is that you will get results. And to get results quickly, you need to do a lot, open up many opportunities, schedule many interviews, talk to many people. This way, you feel that things are really happening, because often it is all just a numbers game. You often have to give a lot, call a lot of people, talk to a lot of people, to get results.

3. Sometimes you just have to be active and available, constantly on the move, surrounded by people. Sometimes it is easier when you are constantly seen. Even if it is not the perfect job for you, it is important that you are in the game. There you can hear about other opportunities more easily and quickly. Also, in a job that may not be what you want, you can stand out and thus reach your desired position. And that is a crucial thing. It is not enough just to do your job well. You also need to find a way to take on certain areas within that job where you will particularly stand out. So that your name is associated with those areas and you create your own recognizable value that others can see. The worst thing you can do is blend in, just fit into the environment.

4. People think they need to be ‘cool’, that they should not appear too eager for a particular job, they do not want to look desperate. And this last part is true, but there is also the danger of overdoing it and appearing uninterested. Those who interview you for the job may therefore think: Why are you even here?

5. It is incredibly important to do your ‘homework’, so that it is clear that you are prepared. This way, when you say: ‘I would love to get this job and I believe I could contribute to your company’, you will appear completely sincere.

6. Research the company you want to work for. If it is a company that prides itself on being very youthful and relaxed, then you will not fit in if you feel you are too formally dressed. But otherwise, I think you can never be overdressed when going for a job interview.
