WHat should i do and say that will help me get a job?

Answer 1

in order to get a job, you need to present your skills, experiences and qualifications in the best way possible. Have someone review your CV and write it up professionally. depending on the type of job you are looking for, your image matters. so make sure your looks portray the position you are looking for. also, send out your CV to as many job vacanies as possible. sometimes your name might be a hinderance. so you might think of shortening your name if it is a long one or of foreign origin.
have a positive outlook. you will definately get a job

Answer 2

If you are just getting started, I would let other people know that you are looking for a job. You would be surprised at the responses you will get. People will try to help you and may even know of some openings. Also, most states have free services for unemployed or job seekers. You can find information for your state online.

If you are going to an interview be on time, look professional and bring extra copies of your resume Sometimes you will go to an interview and there will be more than one person asking questions and they might all want a copy of your resume. Answer questions sincerely and be honest. Also, avoid a sob story to try to get hired by sympathy. It is not a good idea to disclose a lot of personal life details. Be prepared to answer questions about your skills, experience or education that relate to the position for which your applying.
Good luck to you.

Answer 4

First impressions are very important, so one dress nicely, speak clearly and politely, without street slang. Show your enthusiasm for the position, and come across as a hardworking asset to the company. Stress your strong points, and when asked what your weak points are be honest, and tell them what you are doing to strengthen them. Let them know that although you might not know everything you are willing to work hard and learn quick. You are willing to work whatever hours they want, and rarely get sick. (allot of problems with call offs)

Answer 5

The most important thing to remember is...thnk about the company's point of view. Too many people go into an interview with a "what's in it for me" attitude---most companies care more about what's in it for them. If you can ask a few questions to get a feel for what the company is looking for, you can use that info to "sell yourself".
