Looking for a job can seem like a never-ending process. When you send resume after resume, and hear nothing back from potential employers, it can be quite discouraging. If you're in this type of situation, it's best to keep foraging on, work hard, and not cut corners when you apply to job advertisements, even if you feel like giving up.
Some job seekers may not know that there are ways that you can accelerate your job search. Here's how.
1. Attend Job Fairs
A great way to get your resume out to a lot of employers in a short amount of time is to attend a job fair. Job fairs are free and a large amount of employers recruit at these events. Even if you attend only one job fair, you'll broaden your network connections instantly.
2. Craft a Great Cover Letter
A common mistake made by job seekers is that they skip out on sending a cover letter with their resume. While you may think that you are saving yourself (and possibly the employer) some time by not sending this document, this is not always the case. An employer will read cover letters, especially if they're interested in calling you in for an interview. Candidates who apply to job opportunities with cover letters may have an advantage over those who don't, especially if the cover letter is well-crafted. So having a great cover letter can boost your application to the top.
3. Keep Your Resume Up-to-Date
It's very time-consuming to spend hours after hours rewriting, or fixing, your resume for every position that you apply to. That's why it's very important to keep an up-to-date resume on file at all times. This will definitely speed up your job search.
4. Create a LinkedIn Profile
LinkedIn is basically a digital version of your resume, which can be seen worldwide by hiring managers. By creating a LinkedIn profile, you will instantly broaden your professional network. Once you have created your LinkedIn account, you have the ability to apply to multiple job opportunities easily through the click of a button.
5. Apply with a Staffing Agency
The easiest way that you can accelerate your job search is to apply directly with a staffing agency. Staffing agenices have access to multiple hidden networks, and recruitment professionals will search for job opportunities on your behalf. All that you have to do is come in and apply!
