Search for a dream job... #3 Do not ignore any option, consider them all...
First of all, always
remember that your primary aim is to earn a living in a scenario of inflation
and tight market. You should never ignore any opportunity even though it may be
labelled as “temporary”.
One can always go for
evening or weekend jobs to earn some money, or can volunteer during the working
hours of the day for firms or institutions that may help you hone your skills
and add to your experience in the market. You can get associated with various
service agencies that may help you build connections in the industry and also
give an insight of the present market scene. There are ample openings at such
firms for people with good communication, marketing, programming, planning and
research skills.
Simultaneously, one can
prepare for job interviews and utilise the weekdays for appearing in full-time
job interviews.
Apply for temporary
positions as and when available because such positions are liable to get
extended and also open chances for us to get absorbed within or outside that
organisation.
Internship is a very
strong tool to get placed. Employers use this tool quite often to fill in
positions by hiring graduates. It is recommended that you should have
internships in your to-do list.
It is never necessary that
your initial job is in your field-of-interest or in accordance with your
educational qualification. All that matters is building skills and gaining
experience. So do not ever miss a chance.
Short-term projects,
part-time jobs, volunteering and so on are a boost to your confidence and a
simple way to gain experience and learn about the hidden market.
Stay aware about temporary
agencies because they may serve as gateways to your field of interest or your
dream organization. It also helps you increase your contacts and networks in
the market.
Always remember, no job is small or big. Each
one will help you gain something or the other.
