3 Easy Steps to Get Hired Now



One of the easiest ways to find a job is to let it find you. Yep that's the secret. You don't have to go line up & fill up forms everywhere. You let the jobs come to you. How do you do that?

Well let's start at the beginning - the job seeker. The job seeker has to be more visible.

1. Put yourself out there - be visible. Sign up on job sites like Jobstreet.com, Jobsdb.com, Bestjobs.ph. I have no bias for these online job sites but I just happen to know they work. Companies actually use these sites to find prospect applicants.

These sites also have job alerts you can sign up too so that if there's a job that's right up your alley, it can be emailed to you on a routine basis so you can apply for the ones you like.

2. Network - ask your friends. They're your best referrals. They know what it's like & they care about you so they won't just let you go work for a place that is terrible (without telling you about it in advance at the very least)

3. Update you resume - now employers hunt down applicants & review their resumes. If you don't make a good first impression, you won't get that first call or email. So better make sure your resume is as pretty as ever

These are the easiest & fastest ways for you get the job you want.
