Search for a dream job... #4 Courtesy, Eagerness and Flexibility are the important ingredients:

  • The first and foremost thing is always carry an optimistic approach towards life. While seeking for a job, have a positive outlook and show your eagerness for the job. The employers should be well aware that you are the one who needs the job the most.
  • Employers favour those people who make some extra endeavors for the job, like sending follow-up thank you notes etc. even when the hiring process gets over. You need to reconfirm your interest in the firm. Get yourself the tag of the “one who wants the job the most.”
  • Stay in touch with career counselors and learn from them how to connect with the employers even if you were not hired. This will help you be their favourable candidate for the future.
  • Send in “thank you” notes for all those who have helped you in any possible manner and keep them updated about your progress. People will remember you for your courtesy and politeness.
  • Whenever you apply for a job, enquire within a week or two after applying about your candidature either through an email or a phone call.
  • “Be flexible and compromising”- is the key mantra to success.
  • Do not reject any vacancy on location grounds. Even if the geographical location is different from what you had planned, consider it and take it as a new opportunity, a new task to be accomplished. It will be a new experience for you and join, at least for a short period.
  • Even working in a different industry, than what you had actually planned, should be considered.
  • Do not reject the offer if the starting salary offered is lower than what you had planned. 
  • Your lifestyle should be flexible accordingly.
  • Consider options of part-time jobs, as they may strengthen your candidature for full-time positions.
