If you are one of those who left university with no idea what you wanted to do, keep calm you are not alone. If your degree is special related to specific industry go for it.
So where should you start if your degree is not industry specific?
Begin your job search thinking where your strength lays and jobs which suited for you. Like working with team or on your own? What you enjoy about you degree and previous work experience. Make a list of your skills and key strengths. By this you start searching your interested jobs or jobs specially tailored to you
One of the most prevalent misconceptions in job-hunting is that job-hunting on the Web is some magic elixir that will result in employers lining up to interview you. While job-hunting on the Web should be one component of a job search for most job-seekers, it should not be viewed as having any higher success rates than applying to help-wanted ads in the newspaper or trade magazines. Only about 5 percent of job-seekers obtain jobs through ads. Read more about job boards and job-hunting on the Internet.
Job seekers continue to spend hours and hours slaving over these time-consuming forms, under the assumption that if they’re truly qualified and seem like a good fit for the job, they’ll make it past the robots and successfully into a human’s hands.
Is it possible to make it through the automated system? Sure. But is it the most effective way to spend your time—and get your resume read? Absolutely not. Instead, invest more time writing your resume and cover letter and tracking down the hiring manager’s email address (here’s how), then send your materials directly to him or her. With an eye-catching cover letter and tailored resume, you’ll have a much better chance of landing an interview than if you let robots determine your fate.
Very technical professions do tend to concentrate on work-content skills. None of us wants a brain surgeon who doesn’t have plenty of experience operating if you are considering changing careers, focus on the skills that come naturally. If you believe these talents will be useful to an employer and you can cite relevant examples, your interviewer will respond positively. Confidence is contagious.
You should describe your ideal job in your Objective so hiring managers can determine if you will be happy at their company.
Hiring managers aren’t interested in what will make you happy. They want to know how you will make them happy by contributing to their organizations’ goals and objectives. Use your Objective to introduce who you are and how your education, experience, and skills will bring value to the employer. In fact, if you have an established track record in your chosen field, skip the Objective and start off with a Professional Summary instead. Remember, your resume is a marketing tool and the Objective or Professional Summary serves as your “personal mission statement.”
