Our Five Best Job Tips from 2017

A lot goes into a successful job search. It requires proper planning, strategizing and in many cases, a bit of patience. During the course of 2017, we’ve given job seekers plenty of advice for streamlining their efforts and increasing their odds of success. Here are five of our best job tips.

1. Always Be on Time

Whether it’s for an interview or just a normal day on the job, punctuality is essential. It’s your key to making a positive impression on an employer and increasing your odds of being long term. In this post, you’ll get ideas for how to always be on time even if you don’t have a ride.

2. Be Specific With Interview Answers

It’s important to be thorough when answering questions during an interview. This shows you’ve really given some real thought to each question and provides you with an opportunity to show what you bring to the table. The key is to be highly specific and offer examples whenever applicable.

3. Elevator Pitch

You have a limited amount of time to make a connection with a recruiter and prove your value. This post discusses which topics to cover in your 30-second elevator pitch along with proper etiquette.

4. Make the Most of Your Time While Job Searching

In some cases you’ll spend weeks or even months searching for a job, so it’s vital to make the most of your time during that period. Here we talk about looking for relevant jobs outside of your immediate industry, continued learning, personal brand building and networking.

5. Ask the Right Questions During an Interview

Asking questions during an interview is a two-way street and not the sole responsibility of a recruiter. In fact, many interviewers will think less of a candidate if they don’t ask any questions because they appear ill prepared or disinterested. In this article, we go over some of the best questions to ask to better inform you of the position details of a position and at the same time, impress your recruiter.

These five tips highlight some of the most critical aspects of searching for a job. By combining all of the key points, you can approach the process with greater efficiency and stand out from the competition.
