Order To Get The Job
You Want
We all need jobs. This is a rule of life. Although there
are some privileged individuals who were born into
an extremely blessed family, there are those who
need to work hard in order to make ends meet. Those
who just graduated from their university usually
have to deal with the jitters that usually come when
they are going to go through a job interview.
However, a common mistake that a lot of people
make is giving themselves limitations with regard to
the positions that they are going to apply for. This is
very prevalent because most of us have fears of being
rejected. Instead of applying for a position that we
believe that is within our capacity, we tend to opt for
an opening that gives us more chances of acquiring it.
If this sounds very familiar, you need to stop this
cycle. We all need to keep in mind that life is going to
throw us punches and challenges along the way, and
rejection will always be a part of it. Instead of letting
this discourage you, you need to look at it as
opportunities that will enable you to learn and grow
from them.
Although most job openings have qualifications that
need to be met, you should always at least try to
apply for it. A lot of individuals were able to obtain
success because they challenged life instead of
allowing life to set the limits for them. They applied
and obtained the careers they are in right now
because they went after it. However, there are things
that need to be kept in mind before you go after a
career opportunity. These are the following:

recommended to emphasize the skills you
have that match their requirements. In
addition to that, you need to tailor your
resume and cover letter in ways that
highlights the skills and talents that your
potential employer is looking for. You will be
able to catch the attention of the recruitment
specialist in doing so.
See to it that you design your resumes and
cover letters to be unique to every job
opening you are applying for as opposed to
submitting a generic copy to numerous
companies.
When you do receive a call for a scheduled
interview, you need to exude confidence and
a positive frame of mind even if you may be
under qualified for it. This will catch the
interest of the interviewer, therefore
increasing your chances of nailing the job.
It will also work to your advantage to receive advice
and lessons from a coaching centre. They will be able
to instil in you the necessary skills you will require
when you are going to join the working force.
Five Basic Steps in
Planning Your Future
Career
Career planning is one of the important processes
that we have to undergo in order to secure our
future. Although it sounds overwhelming, it can
actually be fairly simple if done with the right amount
of preparation and dedication. Here are five basic
steps that can serve as your guide:
Most openings have a skill set that they are
after in their applicants. It is highly

3. Step 1: Self-Evaluation
a) Self-evaluation is the process of assessing
your personality, skills, knowledge, interests,
qualifications, and expertise.
b) It is easier to look for careers that match your
passions and abilities.
c) According to psychologists, those who
conduct self-awareness processes before
choosing professions have reported up to 80
percent higher satisfaction levels with their
careers.
d) You can do quick self-assessment tests online.
There are plenty of sites that structure tests
to provide possible job options based on your
answers to the self-evaluation questions.
Step 2: Explore Options
a) A lot of patience is needed in this step since
you will need to research on different careers
that you can embark on based on the data
that you have gathered in Step 1.
b) Start by listing down general fields of interest
that suit your identity. Examples of these
general fields are health, media, politics, art,
education, commerce, and entertainment.
c) Focus on your field of choice and look for
possible specializations. For example, if you
are interested in media, you can choose from
more specific jobs such as being a journalist,
broadcaster, or producer.
d) Explore work options, availability, and the
competition in the job market.
e) Find out what skills and qualification are
needed in order to prosper in your chosen
profession.
f) Also check opportunities for career
development and the compensation offered
for your prospective job.
Step 3: Make a Decision
a) Based on your answers on Step 1 and on the
choices that you have in Step 2, make a
choice.
b) The probability of success is high if your
skills, interests, and credentials match your
career prospects.

Step 4: Prepare to Market Yourself
a) Make resume that highlights your educational
background, training experience, and skills
that are related to the position that you want.
b) If you do not have a good background about
the new profession that you want, you can
apply for vocational classes, volunteer as
interns, or enroll in a formal degree. These
could take time but could definitely help you
easily get employed later on.
Step 5: Apply
a) Look for desired jobs from classified ad
listings and online notice boards. You can also
ask your family and friends for any referrals.
b) Make yourself constantly available for
possible interviews and pre-employment
training.
c) Create meaningful networks with persons in
your chosen career pathways increase
chances of hiring.
Mentoring Programs
– How A Mentor Can
Significantly Impact
Your Profession
As we prepare ourselves to enter the working force,
there are numerous considerations that need to be
made. We need to develop the best resume, and be
prepared for the questions that will be fired at us in
the interviews. We tend to focus too much of our
attention on these factors that we fail to take notice
of other things. As soon as we land a job, we think
that's it. We have done everything that we can to
secure work. However, this is not the case. We also
need to see to it that we apply in companies that can
provide us with opportunities and professional
growth. It is normal for us humans to want to do
better, aim for higher goals, and get better titles or
positions. You cannot accomplish a higher title on

company or boss.
We tend to direct most of our attention to landing a
job that we sometimes fail to see the bigger picture
that can unfold in the long run. When you want to be
in a career that will allow you to go up the corporate
ladder, you need to see to it that you find employers
or companies that can provide you with mentoring
programs.
In any job choice, you will need someone you can
look up to; you need mentors. These people can be
your friends or relatives who have developed a
professional career that you look up to, and want to
achieve in your professional life. These individuals
can also be your employers or your boss. It is
important that you have a mentor you can look up to.
These industry experts can provide you with advice
that will come in handy in your career. When you find
yourself stuck, or don't know what to do, being able

to talk to someone can help you determine which
path to take that will help you step up the corporate
ladder.
See to it that you find mentors who know you have
plenty of potential. On top of that, this individual
should have enough time to invest in you and help
you build up your career. Mentors do not necessarily
focus all their attention in you becoming better at
your job. Sometimes, they also try to help you find a
profession that you will be more suited in. Through
their constructive criticisms, they can help you
become better at your job. However, this can only be
achieved when you see to it that you keep an open
mind and listen to what they have to say. Their
suggestions and advice will be futile if you do not
even listen to it. They will also be important in your
professional life, because they will be there to
encourage you when you are going through
challenges.
