Job Search Skills Training

Dear student,

At some point in time you will graduate, and leave the safe environment of college; you are going to
have to face the harsh reality of adult life out in the big bad world.

You need to start your job search preparations now:

You need to prepare for employment when you graduate, it maybe in a year’s time or maybe sooner
you need to take steps starting now or risk being greatly disadvantaged when you enter the world of
employment. Starting now you will have a great advantage over all who fail to prepare.

It really is not smart at all to wait until you graduate before you start job searching.

Maybe you are a graduate, and have not given much serious thought to employment and how to find
work; this guide is also for you, it is also for anyone of any age or situation looking for employment, so
do pass this to any and all you know seeking work.

In order to find work that you maybe interested in you have to know some thing of yourself, where
does your passion lie, what you are interested in, what work might you be suited to.

This may be found by taking an online psychometric evaluation, and some long conversations with
teachers, family, and friends.

You need to know where to look for the job you are interested in, just as you need to know how to find
the job that really interests you.

You need a set of skills to successfully apply for the job that is potentially yours; you need to know
how to market yourself, your skills. You need to know what skills you have to market.

In order to find work a job seeker needs to engage in all five (5) main job searh activities; searching
on line, looking in newspapers and magazines, sign up with one or more recruiting agencies,
networking, and writing speculative letters.

You must be able to construct a resume, tailored and focussed to the job that you want. You need to be
able to write a covering letter that grabs the attention and makes interviewer interested in you.

When invited to an interview you need to know how to conduct yourself, in short you need a set of
interview skills, including how to dress appropriately.

In this manual you will find all the tools that you will need to find, apply for and win the job you want.

Happy hunting!
