How To Get A Job Next Year

Here are a few tips on how to get a job this coming new year:

  1. Update your resume. Make sure you've included all relevant experiences that relates to your career of choice
  2. Dress appropriates. This is one of the things that I'm not so good at, although I know it is quite important. When you head for your interview, be dressed for success. First impressions mean a lot
  3. Know yourself. You'll be asked a lot of questions and it helps if you go through some of the basic questions with yourself i.e. Where will you be in 5 years? What kind of person are you? What career path do you plan to take? Why did you apply here? What makes our company attractive to you?
  4. Be eloquent. Speak clearly and always be confident. Interviewers can smell a push-over. I know, I've met a lot of them.
I'm not necessarily unemployed, but I am looking for better opportunity. Everybody is right? We all want to be in a place where we know we can grow old in and be stable. However with the many call centers and business process outsourcing places, most of us usually end up with one dead end job after another.

Know where your strengths lie and strive to be the best regardless of where you are and you're sure to stand out. For sure then you will succeed.
