12 Job Hunting Tips for
2014
This is the year you find that job that advances your
career and makes you feel like you are getting
ahead in the corporate world.
As a financial advisor, you want to make a move that
makes sense for your career.
These days, there are new methods and new tools that job
hunters are using to make that next leap to the job of their
dreams.
Check out the newest ideas for job hunting and
enhance the efforts of your finance industry recruiter.
Stand Out From The Crowd
The old job hunting mantra used to be that you had
to look and be like everyone else.
But in 2014, you need to stand out to find the right
financial job.
Take extra courses and get certifications that are rare, but
essential, to your career and stand out from the crowd.
Have A Business Card
The job market is extremely competitive and you
need to treat your hunt like a full-time job.
That is why you need business cards that you can give to
anyone who may express an interest in your services.
Volunteer While You Are Waiting
If you are an accountant looking for a new job, then
spend your spare time donating your time as an
accountant to a local charity.
It helps you to keep your skills sharp and it looks
good on a resume.
Use Text Messaging
When you list your cellphone number on your resume,
include a quick note that texting is encouraged.
Texting is huge in 2014, but potential employers may not
use it because they do not know if you have an unlimited
plan or not.
When you allow texting, you give employers a
popular contact option.
Be Available
The advances in the Internet and communication in
general have sped up the pace of business in 2014.
If you want to get interviews from potential employers,
then you literally need to be ready to interview on a
moment's notice.
Have your interview clothing and information ready at all
times and never turn down an impromptu interview.
Fix Up Your Social Media
Potential employers will visit your social media pages
before calling you for an interview.
Clean up your social media presence and improve your
chances at getting an interview.
Continue Networking
Take your business cards and head out to every
corporate and community event you can. Even in 2014,
old fashioned networking is still effective.
Stay In Touch With Colleagues
It is not what you know, but rather who you know. Stay in
touch with all of your work colleagues and encourage
them to recommend you for available positions.
Never Get Desperate
As we mentioned earlier, the 2014 job hunting market is
competitive. You need to keep realistic expectations and
avoid taking the first offer you get just because it is the
first offer.
Take Some Classes
While you are hunting for a job, why not take some
online classes to enhance your knowledge base?
It can improve your resume and show potential
employers that you like to keep up on your industry.
Expand Your Job Definition
There has been a trend the past few years that has
seen new job titles springing up all over the place.
Analyze the job market and expand your idea of your
ideal job title. You will find that a lot of new doors open up
for you.
Avoid Over-Using Email
It has become habit for the corporate world to use email
much more than standard mail. But when you are job
hunting, email is a bad idea.
It is too easy for hiring managers to ignore email and
delete your resume. When you are making first contact,
use standard mail or hand-deliver your resume.
