Tip #1: Don’t be discouraged.
Even though a lot of businesses are essentially closed down during the holidays, there are tons of businesses that still operate as usual and, this year, are actively hiring folks… and are hiring right now.
In fact, last month alone, over 277,000 people were hired. This not only beat expectations, but it crushed the October new hires number by over 241,000 people.
Because of this, many publications and economists are saying the jobs market is having a big comeback![1]
You see, even though the temperatures are getting colder, the jobs market is getting hotter. So, while you may have had a rough go of it lately, don’t be discouraged.
Stay positive. Things are getting better all around, and they’ll get better for you too. You just have to implement the next 11 tips asap to better assure you’re among the next round of hires.
And remember, pay special attention to tip #11…
Now, the following tips may seem obvious, but far too many people don’t implement them in their lives, and therefore fail to find or qualify for a job they truly want.
So, if you want to become a better version of you, and want to land the job of your dreams, you should definitely implement them.
Here we go…
Tip #2: Clarify your goals: Know what it is that you really want out of a job, and work towards it.
Tip #3: Evaluate your skills. Know what you’re good at and what you need to work on.
Tip #4: Update your resume. Be sure your resume is tailored to the job you’re applying for.
Tip #5: Check your socials. Be sure your social accounts won’t “get you in trouble” with any potential employers. They will look.
