Answer 1

When the job hunt takes longer than expected, it's time to reevaluate. If you're not even getting an interview, then either your resume needs to be reevaluated or you've targeted the wrong field.

REVIEW YOUR RESUME
Are your skills clearly listed? Does it use action words to describe your expertise? Is it focused on the specific industry in which you are searching for a job? Is it formatted in a reader-friendly way, or do you have to search to pick out your strengths? Have a friend who knows how to write effective resumes evaluate it also.

HAVE YOU PICKED THE RIGHT INDUSTRY?
If you are looking for a job in the computer industry and your resume doesn't list any expertise in the field, then you're hunting for a job without any credentials. Before you spend additional time looking for a job in that field, reassess your goals. You must be able to demonstrate some transferable skills to get a job in an industry in which you have limited experience. Perhaps you need to develop additional skills first.

RECONNECT WITH YOUR NETWORKING CONTACTS

Call the people on your networking list. Tell them that your job search is stalled and ask for advice. Try to broaden the circle of contacts. Anyone you know, even if it is just a “good morning acquaintance” is part of your network. This is not the time to be shy.

CHECK YOUR INTERVIEWING SKILLS

If your resume gets you into the interview and you don’t get a callback for a second interview or offered a position, then reevaluate your interviewing skills.
Knowing the correct answers to tough questions and practice will improve your skills.

Peace and every blessing!

How you present yourself has a lot to do with whether or not you get a job -more so than whether or not you have all the necessary skills. Employers know that skills can be taught, but personality can't. Be confident, friendly (but don't over do it), and remember to give a firm handshake at the beginning and end of the interview, and make eye contact. Think about all the standard questions you may be asked and have your answers ready. If you seem to have to think about your answers, that's going to turn an interviewer off - it looks like you're trying to come up with something really good rather than just giving an honest answer. Speaking of honesty - it really is the best policy. And going back to the standard questions, try to avoid the standard answers. Some examples are "Where do you see yourself in 5 years" - don't say "in your job". Talk about what you want to do and how you think this position will help you get there. And when they ask you "Do you have any questions for us/me?" DO NOT say "yeah, when do I start" or "can I have the job?". That is the quickest way to turn a good interview into a bad one.

As far as your resume, have 2 or 3 friends or family members look over it for you to see if you've missed anything. Remember, spell-check only finds misspelled words, not correctly spelled words used incorrectly!

Good luck!

Answer 3

It would really help to know what kind of training you had or previous work expeirence. A job is a Job, so go in prepared, and SELL yourself!!! Seriously, a Employer wants to know Why he or she should bother Hiring you, what makes you better. Dress the part. If your not hearing back, their not interested in you. Don't use the Word Unemployed, it just makes a Employer think your lazy....Honesty, every time I went to a job interview, I was hired on the spot. That was without a College Degree!!!!
You have to walk in Believing there is NO ONE Better for the Job than you and talk like you mean it...Ohhh and Congratulations....

Answer 4

How many interviews have you been on. It took 15 before I got my first job. After I had some experience under my belt, I was hired for other jobs almost immediately after the interview. Breaking in is hard. After that it gets easier and easier.
Now, are you working on this by yourself, or do you have an agency working for you. If an agency, ask them how you can present yourself better. If you are doing it by yourself, ask yourself what are you doing that turns the employer off.
Good luck

Answer 5

Do all those things your mother told you like sit up straight, speak clearly, think before speaking. Be well groomed even if you are applying for a dirty entry level job. Be prepared for questions that will be things like why do you want to work here and what can you do for us.
They are looking for someone who not only can but will do the job and will do it without nagging and be happy to work there. How can you let them know that is you? How do you show you are responsible and will show up when required and do the job you will be hired to do. Maybe with volunteer work, having helped at your parents company, or with great grades with advance placement classes.
Be polite.

Answer 6

Let them know you plan on working long term, even if you don't.
Don't just say you were unemployed, were you in school? Helping your family? Unemployment looks bad.
Don't speak poorly of your past employers and don't get angry when discussing them or why you were possibly fired.
Keep it light and professional, dress nice, even if it's not that great of a job.
Keep trying!!!!
