Step1
Put together a resume. Search for "resume" using google images. There are many well written and formatted resumes for you to view. Structure your resume around some of the highest quality examples you find.
Have a friend or family member look over your resume to double check it for grammar errors. I have heard of many bosses simply throwing away any resume with a spelling mistake since they usually have a ton of applicants.
Step2
After building a resume, use that resume to apply to jobs you find on job search sites such as monster.com, careerbuilder.com, or indeed.com.
Yahoo.com also has a job search website.
Apply to every and any job you think you may be qualified for. Always include a cover unless the company specifies not to. A cover letter shows possible employers your writing abilities and gives them insight into your personality.
Google "cover letter" to find out more information about writing one.
Step3
After you apply to a job opening with a cover letter and resume you can go ahead and give a follow up call within a few days to confirm that they received your information.
Step4
Be prepared to have a phone interview before they bring you in for a face-to-face. Many companies will weed out the rift raft through phone interviews and bring in the better applicants for a face-to-face.
Treat the phone interview like a face-to-face interview. Be prepared! Phone interviews are tougher because you can't examine the interviewers body language and facial expressions. After they ask you a question and you respond, they are often taking notes so don't feel the need to fill in their pause after you are done talking; they are simply just finishing up writing their notes.
Step5
Check out this website: http://www.interviewstuff.com/top-10-job-interview-questions.html
This website will help you prepare for your interview. It has the 10 ten interview questions listed. Preparing your answers for these questions will make the interview go through a lot smoother and help land you the job.
A question I am always asked on any every interview is "why do you want to work for us?"
Step6
Wear a suit! Always wear a suit to the interview. Groom yourself! You must be clean shaven, nails clipped, nose hairs trimmed, hair cut and washed, and suit unwrinkled.
Dress to kill!
Step7
When you greet the interviewer you should always give them a firm handshake and make eye contact. This is very important since most managers say they know if they will hire someone in the first 30 seconds of meeting them.
Step8
After the interview, send a thank you note within 24 hours of the interview as common curtiousy. Google "follow-up thank you note" for a template to use.
After a week or two; call the interviewer to touch base with them. This also shows more interest in the position.
