If you're searching for work, there are many things that you can do to increase your chances of landing a job. Gaining employment can take a while - it can all depend on timing, and who you know. However, there are ways to take matters into your own hands. Here's what you can do if you're looking for a job.
1. Attend Job Fairs
Job fairs are a great way to make professional network connections quickly. If you're entering the workforce for the first time, or re-entering after a period spent away, job fairs will get your name and resume out there.
2. Create a LinkedIn Account
LinkedIn is the number one employment-oriented social networking service. Creating a LinkedIn account broadens your job search to an international level. LinkedIn is basically an online version of your resume. Simply upload a professional headshot, type in your past work experience, and connect with hiring managers in your area.
3. Volunteer
You can gain great industry experience through volunteer work. If you know the field that you would like to work in, ask to become a volunteer within an organization specializing in that area of expertise. Having volunteering experience, instead of a large gap of unemployment, on your resume goes a long way.
4. Tap into Your Network
Ask immediate connections if they know anyone that's hiring. Friends and family members may be able to help you connect with potential employers who are looking for some extra staff. Sometimes, when you're looking for work, it's all about the people you know.
5. Apply to a Staffing Agency
