Getting Ready for a Job Search

There is a job out there waiting for you, you just need to take the right steps towards it. When the time to look for a job arrives, most people don’t know where to start.

There are three aspects you need to take care of, in order to get ready for the job search.

How do I search?

First of all, you need to define how you’re going to carry out the search. Nowadays, the easiest way is the online search. You should find at least 3 web pages; you can’t rely on one single site for your job searching. In OLX for example, a web page with classified ads in Nigeria,you can find a great list of “job finding” websites like mine.

What do I aim for?

The second important thing is to define the kind of job that matches your characteristics. Analyze your skills and imagine from a realistic point of view, what type of job would be good for you considerating your studies and experience. If you are too ambitious and you apply for jobs that are over your possibilities, your chances will decrease. Then of course you shouldn’t either apply for jobs that are below your capacities: you need to find a balance.

How should my CV look like?

The appearance of your CV is crucial. Work on it and revise it as many times as you have to until there is no hint of typos or orthography mistakes and the information is clear and well expressed. Finally, your CV must be neat and have a nice format; it has been proved that we receive the information in a much more positive way when it’s surrounded by a good environment.

Now you can start your search, go for it! You can do it!
