How job seekers can get the edge....Tip#3..
July 31st, 2009
Here’s a shocking statistic! In the last year Irelands Unemployment rate has risen by more than 70%. However do not despair; judging by the regularity of econ-Optimists posts there is a good deal of job creation going on in Ireland. Thus for job seekers it’s important to keep an eye out for people like the econ-Optimist who are spreading the good word .I will discuss the importance of expanding ones professional network in Tip#4
Back to Tip#3 this is another simple idea but the simple ideas are always the best. Keep a job Diary! If you haven’t already done this you should start one now. In your job diary you should outline your goals, track what actions you’ve taken to meet these goals and how you’re progressing towards these goals. It’s also a great way of organising your contacts and taking note of any new contacts that might be useful. As I Mentioned in Tip #1 you need to tailor your CV for each job, keeping a job diary will ensure that you know which CV you sent to which prospective employer, so you’re fully prepared for the call when it comes. The job Diary is also a great way of documenting how you feel and you will feel great when you get that call!
