Job hunt with a purpose

UNIside | 2022-09-25
Working 40 hours a week in a role that you don’t like is quite exhausting. When you are young, nobody would think their life will turn out like that, but sometimes needs (i.e. money shortage) force you into such a situation. We have come up with a checklist to help you land that dream job of yours.

  • Decide what kind of job you would want exactly. Obviously, you might be interested in more than one career, but try to identify first the one that seems the most appealing to you.
  • Choose the company or place where you could see yourself working, or where you would like to work.
  • Study and examine the company where you would like to be employed in the future.
  • Establish exactly what qualifications and skills you will need for the coveted position.
  • Map your own skills, listing your strengths that would help you get the position, and identifying what you need to work on or acquire before you apply.
  • Plan how you are going to fill any skills gaps, and implement your plan as much as possible.
  • Prepare an ace application dossier, fine-tune your CV and everything else that is required for applying for the position.
  • Now is the time to apply. Be confident and well-prepared, safe in the knowledge that you have done everything for a successful application.
