It’s the beginning of the year and you are probably thinking of getting that dream job of yours. Getting the job you want can be tricky especially with a stern competition for available jobs. Companies are downsizing thus reducing the number of employees they can have per time despite the increasing number of applicants. So how do you really work your way through the competition to get that job?
This week, Efritin.com shares 6 points on how you can rightly position yourself to land that job.
1. You have to discover what you really want
Identify
the kind of job that matches your passion and the organizations that
have opportunities for people with your kind of passion/skill-sets. This
is the process of discovering yourself especially as it concerns what
matters to you; what opportunities there are for you , and how
resourceful and useful you will be in your chosen field.
2. Build yourself towards achieving it
After number one above, you have to build yourself to fit the opportunities you
have identified. Sometimes building yourself might require getting an
extra degree or, certifications from some professional bodies, interning
or taking the next available job just to gain some form of on-the-job
experience. Whichever it is for you, you cannot pass on building
yourself to fit the opportunities you have identified.
3. Make connections (Network)
During
this process, you also have to take the time out to network/make new
connections with relevant people in those fields that can help you make
the move. Sometimes, all you might need them for is to get quick and
accurate information about the opportunities you have identified.
4. Design your CV to fit the role
You
are now at the point where you have to sell yourself on paper. Make
whoever reads your CV see who you are, what you are capable of and what
you have to offer. Make them see you in the role you are applying for.
Make your CV the ‘Perfect CV’.
5. Hunt far and wide

not limit your search to connections but start from them. There are now
numerous ways of finding your next job which includes online job sites

asset you will be to their organization. How having you on their team
