Inquiring About Job Openings – Basic Etiquettes

Posted on September 21, 2012 by weblinkindia

Searching for a job is a very cumbersome task which requires lot of efforts, patience and hard work. It involves obtaining a list of relevant job positions available with companies that you want to work with & then making enquiries regarding the positions, the interview dates, etc. Anyone who has been through this process before will be able to tell you about the humungous amount of patience that it requires. At times it may seem like the most futile of all tasks, but if done smartly can reap the best benefits for you & your career in particular.

Inquiring About Job Openings – What It Involves?
It basically involves getting in touch with the hiring manager of a firm that is currently recruiting & scheduling an interview for yourself.  It may sound simple at first but the process in itself could be very time consuming as Hiring managers are generally very busy people & it is difficult to directly contact them in most cases.

Inquiring About Job Openings – Basic Etiquettes
So once you do manage to get in touch with the relevant person, what all should you do to ensure that you get an interview scheduled for yourself? Some basic points you should remember are mentioned below:-

  • Ask For Permission - In case you are talking to the hiring manager via a phone, ensure that you first introduce yourself in a line or so. Then explain to them the reason behind your making the call. After you get the go-ahead to speak, tell them where you got the reference from. In case the recruiter is busy, ask for a convenient time to call back and thank them.
  • First Impression, Last Impression – Nowhere is this term more relevant than in the situation when you are searching for that golden opportunity. You only get a few precious minutes to make a favorable impact in the recruiters’ mind. Utilize this time well. Keep the conversation focused and be as short and crisp as possible.
  • Sell Yourself – Go through the job profile thoroughly and prepare some points as to why you would suit the job best. Highlight qualities, achievements, experience, etc. that make you best suited for this job. Have solid examples to prove your abilities. Making flimsy claims may get you an interview but not the job. While writing a letter of enquiry ensure that there are no spelling or grammatical mistakes. Get some professional to proofread it, but never submit a letter fully of silly mistakes or typos.
  • Thank the recruiter – At the end, don’t forget to thank the recruiter for taking out time for you.

Making a job enquiry is a very effective way of making your presence known to a hiring manager or recruiter. If done smartly, it can earn you the best rewards.

Ways to Speed Up Your Job Search

Posted on April 24, 2012 by weblinkindia

Are you tired of searching a suitable job for yourself? Are you in search of some productive ways to get you a good job?  We bring you some of the most effective tips to speed up your job searching ways.

First Impression is the Last Impression
Have a look at your resume. Does your resume spotlight on your pre determined goals? Is it focused effectively? If not, it’s time to rewrite. Write your resume in such a way so that it can convey your unique value proposition, with your brief history that distinguishes you from others. Make your first impression your best impression.

Be Clear. Get Going
Be determined and follow what you want to be. If you don’t know where you want to see yourself in your professional career, then job hunting will always result in frustration. Lack of self-knowledge vis-à-vis your professional goal will hinder you in finding the right match. However, if there is will there is a way; if you don’t know your career aim is, then spend some time with yourself and try to question yourself, and then move on for a job search anew.

Personal Branding is the Keyword
What is Personal Branding?
As the name suggests it is the process of:

  • Communicating what makes you unique
  • Allowing you to make a name for yourself

Firstly, it is very important to have an idea of your personal best so that you can sell the same. Then, present yourself as per the different qualities that you have, and prove that you aptly fit for the job.

Knowing what you want, along with what is going to bring you the same to the interview table will give you the required confidence. Job searching is an extremely crucial step and is essential for a successful long-term career. Celebrate your accomplishments and recognize that the job search requires effort and pushiness
