An article in The Dallas Morning News in the Sunday, June 13, 2010, edition, “How to Land Your First Real Job” on page 1J by Metro Creative Connection, provides ideas for getting your first job or perhaps just for getting a job. While I do not think these ideas break any new ground, I have listed them below:
1. Don’t rule out temporary positions. The idea is to earn some money, and temp jobs meet that need and may lead to a permanent position.
2. Consider a different job section. You should fish where the fish are biting!
3. Continue networking. Whether you have a job or not, you should always be networking and increasing your circle of contacts.
4. Be on top of your game. Your resume should be concise, focused, honest, and error free; you should rehearse responses to typical interview questions; your shoes should be polished and cloths clean and pressed; please remove all attaching hardware and cover-up body art.
5. Don’t get discouraged. A positive attitude is very important. Interviewers are very perceptive, and no one needs an unhappy employee.
Please share your ideas concerning resume development with readers of this blog.
Thanks! Glyn
