People are in a race to find a job, primarily through the pandemic years, with many trying tirelessly to land their dream job. In the job search journey, there are things we forget. Gradually, it becomes like a hunt. A cold one. Our aim becomes to get a job somehow and trust me, it gets exhaustive. And it is funny how a job search term came to existence ‘job search fatigue’.

The hustle of today’s world deprives us of our ME time. Simultaneously, the world is shifting that too rapidly, and we have to move with the world. Getting time for ourselves is a luxury now. Quiet moments are much needed to discover what we want and understand our actions, to later reflect upon them.

This blog talks about the latter here. Job search is the default for anyone to find a better standard of living. Notably, many people do not set a goal or plan to do it the right way. Well, even if we do, there is a good strategy and a bad strategy too. Finding what’s right for you is the challenge. My mentor always says, “Whatever you do, either do it the right way or don’t do it.”

Tips to Deploy a Good Strategy for Job Seekers

Research

• Obviously, hearing about job ads and vacancies for a job hunter triggers the natural instinct of knowing more about the position being hired. What we want to look into first is the employer itself. Do some research about the employer and see if their services align with yours.

Job Search Hitchhiking

• Avoid hitchhiking. In this context, it refers to the instinct I mentioned earlier. Throughout your job search, you apply to every ad post in the hope of getting a reply. Select the employers, industry, scope of work applicable to your profile, and use.

Get Help

• Here’s an online tool, CareerExplorer, that can help you find your right career path. Maybe it can show you the way for your job research, and I’m sure it can direct you to expand your search domain. There’s plenty of tools available today. Get looking.

Build your Network

• Spend most of your time Networking than filling out lengthy application forms online. That’s basically where the odds of getting a job are higher. Find people who work in your field or the position you are looking forward to and converse with them professionally.

Aim Right

• Other than the resume and cover letter, research about the company, find a loophole where the business can use you. Convey it through the application process. Companies, at the end of the day, have only one reason for hiring you. Which is how you are a perfect fit for the role and how your talent or experience can contribute to their growth.

Stay Updated

• Keep evolving your plan for job search. Track your learning path and keep upskilling yourself to find more open doors to your dream career. Do certifications, keep learning. It can do you good during the hiring process. Find out how upskilling yourself is an advantage here.

Follow-up

• Follow up. Do not forget to follow up with your previous interviewers. The companies who might have rejected your application last year might be looking for someone like you now. It’s your desire to get into their firm, so you have to show up, but at intervals, not frequently.

With your own self-motived strategies, anyone has the highest likelihood of ending up in their dream career. After all, a job strategy becomes a win-win when you compose them exclusively for yourself. Because ultimately, No one knows you better than you. So roll up your sleeves and starting working!
