Five Best Ways To Hunt For A Job

By: Manik Thapar (MBA)



Five Best Ways To Hunt For A Job 

The five best ways to find a job are listed below in order of
importance: 

 Ask for job leads from your family, friends, people in your
community, staff at job centers especially at your local
community collage or the collage or school where you graduated
form. 

Ask them one simple question: do you know any jobs at the place
you work or do you know of any other place hiring? Searching for
a job using this method has a 33% success rate, which means out
of every 100 people using this method, 33 will find a job and 67
out of 100 people will not find the jobs that are out there if
they use only this method to search for a job. This is one of
the five best ways to look for a job, but this method is not
fool proof. 

 

 Knocking on the door of any employer, factory, or office that
interests you, whether they are know to have a vacancy or not. 

this method has a 47% success rate, which means out of every 100
people who use this method, 47 will find a job and 53 will not,
this is given that only this search method is used. This is one
of the five best ways to look for a job, but again this method
is not fool proof. remember no one method will wok for every one
every time no matter what the odds.

 Using the Yellow pages to identify subjects and fields of
interest to you in the town or city that you live in or would
like to work in, and then calling up employers listed in that
field, to ask if they hiring for the type of position you can
do, and do well. 

Using this method has a 69% success rate, which means out of
every 100 job hunters, 69 will find a job and 31 job hunters out
of 100 will not find the jobs that are out there if they only
use this method of finding a job. 

 

 Do the same thing mentioned above, but now do this in a group.
In a group with other job-hunters using the Yellow pages cold
call employers in your town or city and then ask them if they
are hiring. 

Using this method you will have a 84% success rate. That is out
of every 100 people 84 people will get the job, leaving 16 job
hunters out of hundred who will not find a job. Again this is
one of the five best ways to find a job but is not a fool proof
method.

 

 Doing a life changing job hunt ( basically means changing you
career, or deciding to work for your self) 

This method has a 86% success rate. That is out of every 100
job-hunters 86 will find a job or a new career. This method's
success rate is 12 times higher than the success rate for
resumes. But remember no method is fool proof and a job hunter
should use a mix off all these methods to increase his or her
chances
