1. Clear Goal and Self Awareness is must:

Successful job seekers in general have a clear understanding of their key strengths and values, and tend to effectively relate these to their career aspirations. In addition, they in all probability have a specific job or role in mind where they will find the greatest sense of purpose and satisfaction.

Self introspect about the skills, proficiencies and the experience you bring, and get a clear understanding of what you want to do, where you want to be and how you want your career to

2. Be Proactive:

In belife to the popular perception, your chances of landing a job are not completely under the blessings of recruiters or the hiring managers. In reality, there is much you can do that can have a say on the outcome of your job search. And believing that your fate is in the hands of others will take away your initiative and self-determination. Do take into consideration that by being optimistic and affirming that your hard work will lead you to the path of success gives you control.

3. Adaptability:

Hiring managers or recruiters actively hunt for candidates who are enterprising, resourceful, embrace new ideas and adapt to the changing demands.
Act smart, grab the opportunities and mold yourself as per the needs of the employer.

4.Negotiate and Seek More Than Just Pay-cheque:

Contrary to the popular perception, negotiating is not manipulating or pressurizing. Negotiating actually explains your worth and establishes that you are a perfect-fit for the open position.

Also do bear in mind that that a good job is just not only about hefty pay-packages. It must also promote autonomy and discipline.

Surely money matters, but employers prefer to hire candidates who desire to work for more than just hefty pay packages.

Use Social Networks:

In a job market where more employers are opting to screen candidates through online mediums, your presence on the social networking mediums can make or break the chances of landing a job.

Avoid the Crowds:

Think differently and do what other people won’t do. Explore the unknown and go to places where others won’t go, since there is lot less competition and a much greater scope for success.

How to Get a Dream Job Against Odds

Posted on October 18, 2014 by profiletor

Let me discuss how can we score a dream job when i was against about thousands of candidates
Till date we have heard of stories on how Google getting millions of resumes ( its being conformed by Google too!) while these kinds of odds are the exception, its really difficult to get jobs these days at minimum wages, even its getting worsen for engineers.

Let us start from this path : when a job is posted online it generally bring a average of 100’s of resume submissions.So, frankly speaking we have 1% chance of cracking a job, but there are multiple ways to directly increase your chances of getting the job above all others even over people that have more experience and a better education than you do.

While in Point : Here lets make a version how can we crack a interview even over the people that have more experience and a better education than you do.

Be there at advance : When we used to search for jobs online we need to look at the job sites early so that we can jump on other candidates & apply in advance where other who either sleep in or submit in the day later. Here there is no exception.

Be Networked : we need to make a huge homework to find out who worked for the specified employer. With that data we can create connections who were known to me that helps us to get ideas & reference to get in to that job.

Research : When you are about to attend an interview you should understand the specified employer on their culture, philosophy & Organizational structure, that helps us to score during the further schedules & brings us more confidence.

Revamp Resume : We should never use the same boring confusing resume when we are applying for dream job, it should be in a manner of easy understanding to hr by highlighting your skills, competences & your previous roles, because your resume speaks on befall of you!!

Mock Interviews : After when you get a call from the HR saying a Interview, please have some rehearsal for practicing most commonly asked questions & behaviors during interviews, even you should have a through knowledge of your resume too.

Record Your self : Make a selfi video of how you answer a interview, your bod language, expressions & others. I strongly suggest & to modify yours accordingly.

Warm up : Like a sports man you should warm up your Mind Spirit & Body, just not mentally but physically as well. Stretching & Mediation – especially Yoga that gives us extra energy that prepares us for the Sportive Interview Session.

During Interview : We should be a hour early to the interview to ensure i could find a place to park my vehicle or we don’t get wexed in the traffic. So, that i can spend extra time in get preparing my self. When we walk in to the Interview room we should have extra confident & clear mind that gives every answer a clear run.

Request for a Trail Period : We know that there would be so many people with more experience or skills better than us, So we should bent down & tell them you are ready to give them trail period in which we would work for them, for free, in order to prove our self.

Think Away : Don’t think about the odds when applying for jobs. Spend your time over-preparing and create an attack plan to outshine the other candidates. It’s all about preparation and going the extra mile. If you don’t do it, then someone else will.

Sources of Job search :
Job seekers in general use at least five sources in their job search its open job boards, company career page, social networks, physical visit and Their own networks.
But HR’s tend to be looking in limited ways they usually use one or two tried-and-true sources. However, most of the HR’s not use every possible way to connect with job seekers, on this they may miss out on quality employees.

Job Position Titles :
When it comes to job position titles HR’s and job seekers tend to speak a different language. Both of them fail in doing this, they should know the generic way of the specified job titles & should post job requirement based on it.
Now a days job seekers will be using more than 10 kinds of key words related to their positions. So, HR’s should look in to different ways in which job seekers might be entering these search terms.

Most of the feed backs from them we got is “ Rejection or no response “

As we discussed in our previous article hurdles during job search with out proper guidance & wrong hypes they lead to wrong requirements.

Well, during your job search In the first week you start out with a lot of excitement and a dreamy abundance of possibilities for your next career move having surplus energy but in coming weeks your energy level goes down & you get wexed with rejection or no response.

The main problem with job seekers is that with out proper planning & irrelevant approach in their job search pattern leads to this sort of issues.

At first step you need to avoid the negative thoughts, it pulls you down beneath the earth. Always be positive, this courage takes you to unconfused vision.

You should have a clear vision & discover yourself on what is your core skills & what technologies you are in to, then you need to list out what kind of companies that are working relevant to your skills.

You should make sure to list it out location wise ( if you are making a physical presence )

Then you need to look in to their career pages regarding what kind of openings that are available for you & apply to it.

Hurdles Faced During Job Search

Posted on October 8, 2014 by profiletor

After a extensive research we were able to come to decision on hurdles faced during job search.

In general when you are looking for a New Job or a Career Change you will be opting for 3 different modes.

Direct Approach to Compnies
Signing up in Job Portals
Visiting Consultancies

In the first case, Most of the people will be directly approaching companies by the ways of physical visit to multiple companies (until energy drains) & mailing to the HR’s with out even knowing does that company is having a requirement that suits you or not.

Due to that you neither gets response for the mail nor during the physical visit the common word from the HR we hear after the 1^st round of interview is “ we will get back to you ASAP “.

Now a days you can find the requirements in their career pages also, but most of the HR’s fails to remove the filled up requirements or update new ones.

In the Second Case, There are huge number of job portals in the current market where they show up with thousands & lakhs of requirements, by seeing this you get drolled & start applying for the requirements.

But the Major twist is most of requirements don’t have proper company information to whom you are applying & to be frankly speaking majority of them are FAKE or from Consultancies.

This tricks are being played to build the Profile database of job seekers & sell it to companies at huge cost, from where they make most of the money.

The Third case is Linked to second one because even has you had applied to requirements from consultancies, you start getting calls from them & they ask you to visit their office to discuss regarding a immediate requirement (trolled).

During your visit you will be attending some formal fake interviews, then the start the game plan, they say “ most of interview is completed, you are selected for final round” in the joy your face will be glowing like sun, but they ask to you to pay money to disclose company information & to attend final interview.

Some of the consultancies don’t charge from you & you will get in to a company, but you won’t be under companies pay roll nor job grantee, salaries will be processed by the consultancies only. If you are resigning that job you don’t get a experience letter or nothing.

We have been able to publish this article because we have done a huge Research with 1000’s of Job seekers & these are the hurdles faced by them in real time case.

So, when you are about to have a shift, make sure your ladder is leaning on right wall.
