CANT FIND JOB?? TRY THIS SIMPLE EXPERIENCE

There's a lot you can do to boost your chances of landing your dream job.

• University graduation has come and gone and despite all the talk of it being the hottest job market in years for new graduates, you're still on the sidelines. You've sent out dozens of CVs and submitted countless applications. Still, nothing.
  
  Panic sets in. You start to think all that study was for nothing.
  With little real experience on your resume, what can you do to increase your odds of landing your dream position and to make yourself more attractive to employers?

For new grads, the job market is better than it has been for years. There are simple ways to improve your odds.

Treat it like a job
“The best advice is simple, but job seekers rarely follow it,” said Ginger Porter, managing director of the Dallas and Atlanta offices at global communications firm Golin, in an email. “Start every day like it's your work day.”
Don’t lounge around in your PJs all day while binge-watching your favourite shows. Get dressed in the morning with the idea that you have somewhere you need to be: looking for a job.

Start every day like it's your work day

Porter suggests writing a list of every person you know, or can think of in your chosen field. These should be people you can approach who might be able to help with your job search. Ask each one of them for short coffee dates, or even a brief phone chat or email response. Don’t ask for a job.

“Talk to each of them about what you're looking for, and be specific: ‘I'm looking for a position with this kind of employer where I can use my skills in XYZ. Do you have any advice for me?’” said Porter. “People will make the time to give advice, and it’s better than booking their time to ask for a job.”
