CHOOSING A CAREER
Choosing a career is an involved process and you should give it the time it deserves. Career planning is a multi-step process that involves learning enough about yourself and the occupations which you are considering in order to make an informed decision.
FINDING A JOB
The job market is full of qualified candidates who are looking for a particular position. In order to be competitive, job seekers must know not only what kind of job they want, but also what skills and attributes they can offer future employers. Fortunately, there are resources and services available that make finding a job much easier than in the past. Here are a few steps to help you find and apply for a job that is right for you.
FINDING A JOB
Instructions Inventory your strengths and weaknesses. Write a detailed resume that
includes contact information, objectives, education, work history and qualifications. Save the resume as a rough draft, then customize it as necessary depending upon the job you are applying for.
Put together a list of four to five references. Include contact information and your relationship with them. Try to use people you have worked with professionally. Don't use close family members if possible.
Search for jobs. Online job sites like Indeed, Monster and CareerBuilder offer detailed job searches in all industries. Craigslist, an online community site, posts jobs, gigs and freelance opportunities that are available in many different cities across the nation.
Apply for a job by carefully following the job listing instructions. For example, if the ad states no phone calls, do not call the company. If the employer requests a resume, always send a professional cover letter as well. Fill out applications accurately and completely.
Follow up. If the employer does not contact you within a week or so after submitting your resume, call to inquire about the status of your application. Don't be too pushy, but do show that you are persistent and would like to be interviewed for the position.
Attend job fairs and government sponsored events. The Philippine Department of Labor sponsors local programs and services designed to help people find jobs. Also, check your local newspaper regularly for job fair listings and community sponsored job initiatives.
FINDING A JOB
ENTERING THE WORKFORCE AS A NEW STAFF MEMBER CAN BE A DAUNTING EXPERIENCE. HOWEVER, DEVELOPING CERTAIN HABITS EARLY ON IN THE JOB WILL HELP WITH AN EASY TRANSITION INTO
THE ORGANIZATION.
Getting Ahead at Work
Important characteristics to have in the workplace:
Self-awareness: One must develop a greater sense of self-awareness to better adapt to the culture and
dynamic of the organization. Always adhere to company’s rules and policies in both its formal and informal aspects.
Important characteristics to have in the workplace:
Listening Skills Communication is also about listening. Listening intently is beneficial for workplace
success because it creates a mindset that absorbs information and knowledge.
Research shows that people only retain about 20-50 percent of the content when in a conversation.
This natural tendency is counter-productive and harmful when it leads to misunderstanding and conflict between people.
Important characteristics to have in the workplace:
Motivation Learn about the company through
additional research.
Being resourceful is the key to success
anywhere.
Take the initiative to do more than
what is expected, and ask for feedback
on assignments given.
Being motivated also means being
consistent in providing the best service
for both clients and employers.
Important characteristics to have in the workplace:
Positive attitude Others are drawn to people who
are optimistic and enthusiastic about what they do.
Having a positive attitude translates into passion and drive.
Besides, staying positive will generate affirmative responses, which in turn is favorable for a new staff member.
The office will also benefit from a mood-lift and upbeat atmosphere.
KNOW YOUR JOB
Sounds obvious, right? But apparently it’s not so clear to some people. A friend of mine told me about a new writer her firm had hired. The writer had boundless energy when criticizing the current structure of my friend’s
office. More significantly, the new person asked for a couple of days extension of her first
assignment. And when she did turn her piece in, it wasn’t exactly what the firm needed. Knowing your job means a couple of things: know the assignment you’re being asked
to carry out. And it also means being competent enough to be able to perform it. That’s at the very minimum.
If you’re doing the hiring, make sure the new person you’re considering understands exactly what tasks he or she will be expected to perform. Ask for samples that would give some indication that the new member of the team can do what he says he can.
If you’re being considered for a job, be sure you are able to carry out all tasks required. If you can’t, it will become obvious soon enough.
Basic ideas. Basic, for a very good reason.
