Finding your first job
 

Step 1: Determine your goals

Even after several years of college, you might still be unsure about the type of job you would like or what opportunities are available to you. Take an inventory of your strengths, weaknesses, likes and dislikes to figure out what kind of job suits you. Do you want to work with people? Are you more suited to being active rather than sitting at a desk? Do you thrive on high-pressure situations?

Once you have answered these questions, research the jobs that fit your talents and personality. You can find references in Jobnet's Job Directory - India and international.

Step 2: Get your tools in order

It is important to have the right tools for any task you take on. The tools needed for a job search are a strong resume and cover letter. Take the time to develop a resume and cover letter that convey your strengths and experience clearly. You can visit www.123oye.in for few tips

* Make sure you have the correct contact information at any company you are targeting.
* Don't make the mistake of sending mass mailings of generic correspondence. Write your cover letter and resume to speak directly to each company you target and the position you are seeking.


Step 3: Be persistent

When it comes to finding a first job, send resumes to your targeted companies, but don't let your work stop there. Always follow up with a phone call, more than one if you need to.
