JOB SEARCH TIPS

Wouldn't it be nice if job search was easy? Unfortunately, it isn't. It's hard work that takes a long time to see its rewards. Here are a few tips to make it a bit more manageable:

Job Search Is a Numbers Game

Throughout your job search, ponder this - You must collect your share of "No's" before you get your "Yes." And it only takes one "Yes" to get a job!

Interviewing is not just a question and answer session with a potential employer. Body language plays an important role, too. Shake hands with the interviewer, sit up straight, look the interviewer in the eye and SMILE! Smiling relaxes your facial muscles making you appear at ease and receptive to what the job interviewer is saying.

Hi Meg!

Your comment about the numbers game reminds me of a popular ICA Power Tool - game vs. significance. One way to make the job search more "fun" is to see how many "NOs" you can get!

I wonder if such a technique could make people get a little lazy during interviews. One thing is for sure, though - it will make you apply for more positions and follow up more/be more persistent (if you're TRYING for a "no.") :)

Best,

Kristen
