Ø What actually job hunt is?

                     Job hunting, job seeking, or job searching is the act of looking for employment, due to unemployment or discontent with a current position. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview with an employer which may lead to getting hired. The job hunter or seeker typically first looks for job vacancies or employment opportunities.

Ø Basic elements kept in mind for effective job search

·        Building  your qualifications

Revise your resume

Before you start job hunting, make sure that your resume is as complete and up-to-date as possible. Your resume is an important distillation of who you are, where you come from, and what you can offer. Here are a few tips to consider.

Develop your personal elevator pitch

 In an interview the interviewer wants to get you to relax and loosen out your vocal cords, understand your background, your accomplishments, why you want to work at XYZ company and what your future goals are.

·        Setting your goal

It's important for you to set the nature of the job fits your personality and salary requirements otherwise you'll have spent a significant amount of time to find a day job you dread getting up for every morning. So be realistic about what you expect, and be clear of what you want.

·        Completely googled and updated about latest areas of work

You should have enough information about the market and try to grab every possible opportunity coming in the way because in this competitive time you can’t afford to an any opportunity from your hands

·        Try to maintain economic stability

 Potential employers can smell desperation and it isn’t attractive. If you are totally stressed out about paying the rent, you won’t be in the best frame of mind to conduct a proactive job search. One great way to make some extra cash without working fulltime is tutoring (for high school courses, college application essays, SATs, GMATs, etc).

Maintain a budget is also a better option because it let you know about your monthly requirements and also let you aware about your expending so that you can control it.

·        Working on your attitude

Attitude now a days is a key factor for success it is something that has been the focus of the recruits .Therefore your attitude should be up to the mark for better results.

Ø Role of internet

In 1998, 15 percent of unemployed jobseekers used the Internet to seek jobs, as did half of all jobseeker with online access from home. In the current “e-commerce”  much attention has been paid to how the Internet is transforming product markets. And this could be verified by the fact that more than 2000 job seeking sites are available today.

   

Ø Tips for a job searcher

·        Updating your resume to include examples of how you thrive in challenging times, how you excel at stretching a budget, how you can bring in new clients and new revenue right away.

·        Making 5 calls a day to networking contacts, rather than making 5 a week.

·        Attending one networking event a week, rather than one a month.
