Have you had no responses to your job applications yet? Improve your chances of landing an interview and a job with these steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step one:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Re-look at your CV.\u00a0<\/strong>Unless you have had a decade or more of work experience, your CV should be no longer than two pages. One page is even better. The more concise and put-together your CV is, the better your results will be. Leave out unimportant information, make sure your spelling, grammar and punctuation is perfect and put down your contact details accurately.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step two:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Be pro-active.<\/strong>\u00a0Nothing will be served to you on a platter. You have to put in the work and be\u00a0perseverant<\/span>\u00a0if you want to land your dream job. Email and phone your contacts, use LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook to get\u00a0word<\/span>\u00a0out about who you are and what you do. Network, do\u00a0favours<\/span>\u00a0for others and apply for jobs regularly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step three:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Work on your skills.<\/strong>\u00a0While you are looking for your dream job, work on gaining skills and experience by doing\u00a0courses<\/span>, finding a mentor and asking for help or volunteering to work for free or to work for charity. These all look great on your CV.<\/span><\/p>\n

Step four:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Find a good reference.<\/strong>\u00a0Nurture your relationships with your mentor, previous colleagues, teachers or classmates. Contact them and ask them to give you a reference. If you do volunteer work or an internship you can definitely ask for a reference.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
