Step 1
Prepare a stellar resume or CV. So often, recruiters and employers see the traditional format, black-and-white resume created in an everyday word processor. Make yours stand out. Seek out a designer friend or hire a designer to make your resume truly work for you as a marketing tool.
-
Step 2
Learn all that you can about a company you're interested in, or the specific type of position you're seeking. The more informed you are, the more impressive you'll be.
-
Step 3
Network to find leads through others. If there is a specific company you're interested in, ask around to see if anyone you know has a connection there. If you're able to get in touch with someone within the company, you're one step ahead.
-
Step 4
Be aggressive. Once you get a potential lead on a job opportunity, go for it. Whether you're responding to a posted ad or simply contacting a hiring manager, go after the job you long for with persistence.
-
Step 5
Market yourself. Paired with your resume, your cover letter is often the very first impression a potential employer gets of you. Write a cover letter that is striking, shows ethusiasm and relevance and makes it difficult for a hiring manager to overlook you. If you aren't the best writer, enlist a friend for family member for some guidance.
-
Step 6
Follow up. A week after sending the appropriate person your application materials for a job, give them a phone call or send them an e-mail to show your continued interest. To ease your worry, ask what their anticipated schedule for hiring is.
-
Step 7
Remain persistent and interested. Soon the right interview will come your way.
