About job hunting

it's indeed a tough journey,while we shouldn't give up easily.i have been a job hunter for a long time after i quit my first job.i can't stand and keeop on without my parents' support and understanding.i think for most job-hunter,pressures coming from their family and friends no matter invisible or tangible is the key barrier. anyway ,just keep on and do it yourself,you'll be successful at last!

Try getting some work that is related to your specialist area(s), even if you are at the bottom of the rung, it won't matter. Just get your foot in the door, even if it means some volunteer work. That way when you go for interviews can say that you have done that sort of work or are trying to get more experience in that field etc. Good luck

There are things you can do to make your resume stand out, even if your grades weren't the best or you don't have any formal experience. One way to do that is to prove that you will be a good employee before you get a job. Here are three ideas to help you get started: #1 - Evaluate your real life experiences. You may have accomplishments that seem minor to you, but would benefit an employer. Figure out what you can use instead of the same old resume fillers that everyone else is using. For example: If there was something you had to work really hard for a long time to accomplish, that shows determination and perseverance. Show the boss that you are not a quitter. #2 - Start your own business. Take a hobby or basic skill you already have and utilize that in some way, even if it's just walking dogs or hemming pants for people. Starting and running even a small business requires a diverse range of skills from marketing to public relations, etc. It doesn't matter if you only have two or three customers a month, aside from putting a little extra cash in your pocket until you find your dream job, it will make you more valuable to employers. Show the boss your shoulder is one that doesn't need to be looked over all the time. #3 - Volunteer whenever possible. Dedicating even an hour or two a week will make a big impression as long as you are consistent. You will learn new skills, meet new people, and be helping your community in some way. Honestly, would you rather sit around the house and do nothing? Nobody wants to hire someone who wants to sit and do nothing. Now days, a lot of companies are hiring more community minded people in an effort to make themselves more attractive to potential consumers and even reward employees for doing volunteer work. You might just meet that boss you are looking for passing out soup at the Salvation Army's kitchen. If you want to get hired, you have to stand out to potential employers. Try being different, but in a good way. Hope this helps.

I guess the most important thing is to know what you want in life and what you enjoy doing. (or at least dislike least) From there, work on developing your skills and honing in on what you wan to achieve in the future. Clarity makes job hunting easier.
