Most of job seekers are looking for the ways, that how to get their resume noticed by the employers, and also for answers for the difficult interview questions. So much is written about that also like “ 10 most difficult interview questions”, “ writing a best resume” etc. But as I had seen and experienced tips from successful job seekers are best.

708_49e42a27bbd50

Those tips you can get anywhere near by like from your neighbor, best friend, cousin or any relative who got the job. They will tell you and advice you in best manner that how they got the jobs. Because they are the invaluable resource for you when you are looking for a job. You can learn a lot from their success, mistakes, experience, tips and tricks that will help you a lot on long way job search.

I had talked to few successful job seekers and here I am writing the tips that I gained from them. I divided those tips in 4 categories, which are these:

Present yourself as you are

First person to whom I met for his job seeking experience is my friend Samuel. He got the job as financial analyst within two weeks.

He says that he made his mind to have any type of job and posted his resumes everywhere and visited every agency whether there was any job opening or not. He applied in so many companies so that the possibility of being hired gets more.

According to him one should have to be open minded about the kinds of positions that they want. Aside from going to a one specific job one should try to go to a company, an employment agency and tell them what you knows and what you are having in your qualifications because what you having can be applied to a number of different positions which only employment agency or company knows. And when time is right you will get the job. But for that you should have to be open-minded.

Never Let Opportunity Get Away

Anna was unemployed for more than 3 years but she is having a job as a management consultant in a big firm.

She says that because of long time unemployment I made up my mind to get any low level job. So through a friend she got a contract position job. She told me that job was according to her qualification and also not ideal job for her. But she kept on sticking with that job. Anna said that when you are unemployed for a long time you have to adjust with such type of jobs and in this job I worked hard.

Her hard work and better attitude in this contract job paid her with a permanent job according to her qualification and also a better salary.

For Some Cover Letter is Luckier Than Resume

After graduating from a law school Henry wanted to get a job quickly. He drafted a cover letter that emphasized his unique experience and made stand out as a candidate.

Henry says that he was having a standard entry-level lawyer resume which he have to use but he used cover letter for giving more details about him.

In that letter he mentioned that he had worked on a political campaign in San Diego and his current boss is running for office in Anchorage. According to him that was a lucky move, which paid to him.

Currently Henry is working as attorney in Florida and he credits his cover letter for finding a job.

Professional Network Can Be a Strong Back

Rachel was not even seeking job actively when she was appointed as creative director of an advertising agency. She credits her new job to her solid professional network.

She left her more recent job but she stayed in touch with her boss. Rachel says that she will visit whenever she came back to West Coast and will dinner with her when her boss came to New York.

She also built a strong network in and around the New York City. She told that her previous colleague from a local agency called me and told me about the opening and I sent my resume in. She talked me up to her bosses and they reviewed my resume and I was given that job because they knew my previous employer. She says that two strong references my former colleague and former boss worked for me while so many people were interviewed for that job.

Bottom Line

Above mentioned small tips were of those people who got the jobs. But whatever worked for them is not necessary will work for you also. You should have to look your nearby to consult with such people who got the good jobs and try to gain tips and experience from them as well to know that what things worked for them to get those jobs.
