Top 10 Best Ways to Get a Job

These are the best 10 ways to get a job in order of effectiveness and priority:

1. Start the Process
   Decide what job you want. Set your sights on it. You may research the perfect job by reading books, reading the newspaper, doing a lot of thinking, etc.
2. Research!
   Go look into the job/s you are thinking about. See people doing them. Ask people questions. Read about these jobs and try to picture yourself doing them. Will you make enough money doing what you think may be the perfect job? On the other hand, are you only doing it for money (or a loved one’s need for money) when you should really be doing the right job for enjoyment / goals?
3. Get Your Resume Ready
   Write a good resume. Have your resume improved by an expert if need be. Your resume will need to focus on the right items for each job your are applying for.
4. Network with Friends and Contacts
   Let friends know you are looking for a job. Go to parties of friends. Let people know what job you are available for.
5. Post Your Resume Online
   Post your resume on job websites.
6. Job Websites
   Go to job / career websites and look up job postings. Send cover letter note and resume to possible jobs.
7. Set Your Expectations Correctly
   Understand for every 10 resumes you send with good cover letters, you will probably hear 1-2 responses.
8. Go on Interviews
   Go on a number of interviews after you get calls.
9. Take the Right Job
   Do not take the first job that comes along. Go on at least 3 interviews and then start making possible choices.
10. Start Your New Job
    Start your new job, and decide in the first month how long you plan to stay. If in 6 months you are happy, stay. If you are not happy, move on.
