1. How To Get the Job You Want
By Susan Rowland

2.  Pick a field of interest, one you have
experience in or are studying.
 Go through your local newspaper or conduct
an online job search on the internet using a
website specified for help wanted ads, such
as www.Monster.com

4. • Your name and location, or contact information
• What your objective for applying is, or why you want
the position.
• Your educational background. This should be stated
with the institution, dates you attended, what you
studied, and any degrees or diplomas you have
received.
• Your work history and experience. This can be stated
similar to the educational background, but be sure to
add what your job duties were that apply to the
position you are after, such as customer care, etc.
• If you have any honors or local activities you participate
in that would provide the employer with a better
picture of you, please add these.
• Finally, include references if requested or simply state
“references upon request”.

5. A Good Resume’ A Not-So-Good Resume’

6. Make sure you take some time to write a cover letter. A cover letter
helps introduce you a little more than your resume’ in a more personal
way.

7. • Dress to impress. Look the part that
you are applying for.
• Come prepared. Have all necessary
documents and your portfolio with
you.
• Get off to a good start by being early.
• Make the right first impression with a
strong (but not violent) handshake.

8.  Be polite
 Look them in the eye
 Think through your answers before you speak

9.  Don’t chew gum!
 Don’t show up late
 Don’t bring your
children
 Don’t wear torn or
tattered clothes
 Don’t give in to
nervous ticks, such
as clicking your
tongue, saying “um”
a lot, or picking at
your clothes, hair,
or fingers

10.  After you have gotten through
the interview it is always good
manners and good measure to
follow up with a follow-up
letter.
 This will show the employer
you were serious about the job
and it is a courtesy for them
taking the time to meet with
you.
 A follow-up letter is like a brief
thank you that follows the
format of the cover letter, but
the body simply states that you
are happy to have met with
them and you look forward to
the possibility of working with
them.

11. You are bound to reach success and get your
dream job!
