Unit 5 A篇 Some Tips for Job Hunting Job hunting involves more than searching for positions and sending your resume to employers. You also need to make sure you’re a good fit for the job, can catch the hiring manager’s attention and are well-prepared to interviews. Here are four tips that may help to improve your chances of finding the employment you desire: Know your career goals Firstly, identify what type of career you want. This is particularly important for people entering the workforce for the first time. Make sure you have a clear and realistic goal, determine how you plan to reach it and note what qualifies you for that career path. Get resume and cover letter help Ask a friend, family member or other professional to proofread your resume and cover letter for errors, as well as to offer advice. Some job seekers even choose to work with a professional resume-writing service to save time and enhance their resumes and cover letters. Customize your resume Adapt your resume to each job you apply for. Study the job description to determine why you are a great fit. Then, add your skills, experience and achievements that are relevant to that position. Hiring managers who look through many resumes should be able to read yours and quickly know you have the skills for the position. Prepare for interviews Research common interview questions, create responses for them and practice those responses before you get invited to an interview. Ask a friend or a professional to do a practice interview with you. If you are well-prepared, you will be more confident and comfortable when you go into an interview.
