It’s easy to overlook some time-tested, well-informed job-search tips despite all the hype about new technology. These simple and effective methods will help you get the next job, whether you’re writing an application that is able to pass an applicant tracking system.
Begin by defining your career objectives and the type of workplace you’d like to work in. To narrow your search, align your priorities to the positions you’re looking for. Once you’ve identified specific jobs then do your research on every company. Use tools like Crunchbase to obtain a summary of the company’s size and financial history, leadership information, investments, mergers, and much more. This will give you a better understanding of the business and allows you to ask more pertinent questions during an interview.
Make a network that can help you find your dream job. This includes former and present managers, coworkers, vendors and friends, customers and even acquaintances. When you contact those in your network, you should be specific about what you expect from them and how you can assist them.
Set goals, and ensure that your applications, networking activities and follow-ups organized. You’ll know exactly what you need to do every week. Don’t be scared to try new things or adjusting your strategy if things don’t seem to be working.
