Know the market

Prioritise your skills and demands, and understand the market. This will help you while you create your CV when you register on job portals and make connections. Note down important positions opening up, as well as names of recruiters and the best agencies as well.

Prepare a good CV

An attractive and well-polished CV is of utmost importance when you start applying for jobs. Given the competition in the market, recruiters generally don’t spend more than a few seconds skimming through a CV. You must be conscious of the role being offered and curate your CV accordingly. Enumerate your achievements relevant to the job roles to catch the attention of the recruiter.

Register on a good job website

There are thousands of websites across the internet offering jobs. But before embarking on your journey, be clear about the sector in which you would like to work. A good website can offer you multiple possibilities and help you build connections. Job-oriented websites like LinkedIn will be of immense help in that arena.

Make the best use of your connections

You can get recommended by the big shots in your connections and this will make you stand out among the crowd. Since there are always more people than available job opportunities, it is always beneficial to get recommendations from relevant professionals.

Walk-in interviews

You should always be prepared to attend a Walk-in-interview. You may not get your dream job right off the bat but being prepared will prevent you from missing out on significant opportunities. This will give you a footing while you keep hunting for your dream position.
