Three ways to find – and get – the perfect job
讓你找到並得到一份完美工作的三種方法
Finding your dream job can be difficult. This month, the search will become even harder as new graduates start looking for work. With many companies still struggling, job hunters have a very difficult task ahead of them. Don’t let that discourage you. There are still jobs out there for those who know what to look for. Consider using these three strategies to find and get the job of your dreams.
The Front Door
A front-door job search uses traditional ways of getting hired. These include checking company website and employment services. Since lots of people use the front door, make yourself stand out. This means understanding what a company really needs and creatively showing you can meet that need. Read about each company you apply to, and adjust your resume for each job. Find out who is doing the hiring, and try to give them your resume in person. Then follow up with a phone call, letter or visit.
