The Best Step-by-Step Guide for Finding a New Job Is One You Write Yourself

Perpetually improving yourself should be your everyday motto. Such a motto can be applied to any task you set your mind to including finding a job. There are even people on YouTube who explain how to make a guinea pig like you because they used the trial and error method (aka the scientific method) to figure out what makes Guinea pigs like them, and they improved on what they learned over time. Advice from Resumeble - You should write your own step-by-step guide on how to get a job based on what you do and what you learn. Make a point of learning something new each day, and you will become your own expert on getting a job.

The Selection Process

How willing are you to travel? How willing are you to work different types of jobs? Are there jobs you are turning down? Are there jobs you are not even looking at? People who are willing to deviate from their chosen field, people who are willing to start at the bottom, and people who are willing to relocate, are the sorts of people who find jobs because they can be far less selective.

The Application Process

Learn the gentle art of copy and paste, and push through the frustration of having to fill out the same things for each application. Tailor your responses on your applications to each job and ignore the frustration when they do not respond. Highlight the ways you will be suitable for a job and try to use the same wording that they use in their job advertisement.

Your Routine

Want a job? Get into the habit of applying for a new job every weekday (take weekends off). Spend each day looking for the next job you want, working on your resume, application, and your interview answers. Get into a routine of applying for jobs and the crushing frustration that comes through rejection will not bother you so much.

The Interview

Consider all the questions you will be asked and rehearse your answers. When you leave interviews, note down all the questions you were unprepared for, and then add them to your list of rehearsed questions.

Conclusion - Get Better

Ever hear of a coworker who is bad at their job, but managers say “they interview well.” How do you think that person became so good at interviews? It is not because they took hundreds of interviews; it is because they learned something new at each interview. Improve yourself, get better, and keep learning, because that is the only way you will consistently get job offers.
