5 quick steps to get a job fast

1) (The right mind set) You need to decide that you are willing to work just as hard in a job as you are in Finding a Job.

When you are in your job your task is to complete the task set out by your managers.
When you find yourself in the unemployed world your work is to find a Job as soon as possible and get your self back on your feet as fast as possible financially.

You need to treat finding a job like a job, and even be willing to go the extra mile.


2) Online CV

Having a great CV that shines and sells your skills and qualities is a must, nearly all careers I know request applicates to have a CV, also I cannot emphasise enough that to get the most out of Job searching, never underestimate the internet. Due to the expanse of the internet a many of jobs out there are now advertise on-line on the internet due to the cost effectivness of it.
If you dont have a online CV then you really are paralysing yourself from applying to the vast amounts of Jobs out there that are advertise on-line that you wont see in the local papers.

3)Check out for goverment schemes to get you back into work.

There are private companies out there that have won government contracts that main objectives is to help unemployed people get back to work.
Companies like A4e or Working Links can access varrious goverment pots of money to help you get back into employment. Now these Private companies wont guarantee you get a job but they can really help with resource's such as training, career coaches and you will also get extra help with finding jobs, as the old saying is two heads are better than one.

4) Network

Network go to job fairs, go to job work shops, talk to friends in your network, church, social club, there is even job network sites forums. Once you find potential job leads, lets say a friend says I heard my company might be hiring soon...then your job is to call that company asap and find out the details and apply.


5) keep your skills intact:

If you have a trade like plumbing, selling mobile phones, computers, make sure you keep your skills levels up to date.
for example information and Technology changes so rapidly that if you don't keep up with it, you're sure to miss out. And employers will want the person who is most up to date with their work than someone who isn't as the person who is well knowledge will take less time to train and will .

How to find a Job...the real way.

In this economic climate that we find ourselves in, unemployment is on the rise, cost of living is going up whilst the government is cutting back. Finding work can be daunting especially when you think just a few years ago the statistic for interview per job was average 10 prospect for one JOB, now the statistics are averaging 40 prospect to for one job.

In the last 14 months I have been unemployed for a total of 7 months...before this I never experience unemployment.

Let me be the first to tell you I really understand what you going through if you are unemployed I understand the emotional consequences of longveity of unemployment that results in demotivation, lack of confidence and procrastination and much, much more. I been through it all.
One thing you must remember if you want to survive unemployment and I emphasise it is survival.. Regardless of the hard road ahead let me say it is totally possible to get back in employment fast. There is Hope as long as you don't give up..even if that means you need to send out 426 applications and have 230 interviews and get knock back after knock back ..you do have hope but it starts by believing and willing to have the right mindset.

This blog will provide my testimony how a very normal guy who naturally lazy got himself back into permanent work.
