When searching for a job, many people tend to rush without knowing where to look, what to do or the latest trends in the industry. This is a grave mistake that is just as taking a hike in the Grand Canyon without knowing the trails, with a guide or without a map. It is therefore important to go armed with the relevant information by conducting thorough research. This will make your job search more focused and successful. You will be in a position to present yourself to potential organizations more convincingly. Below are some few tips to help you with your search.
The first and most important task is to get familiar and understand yourself. This means that you are aware of your desires, goals, strengths, and weaknesses so as to know how well to narrow your search from the start. For example, if you are an exceptional writer and social person, a marketing job can be ideal for you. If you are a problem solver or an analytical thinker, then you can apply for a data engineering or analysis job.
Once you understand yourself, the next thing is to learn where to look. Thanks to the internet there are millions of resources to help you find that dream job. However, it is important to be careful as there are many scammers online ready to use your services for free. Always use legitimate search engines which have been proven successful and legit as well. With proper details, you can go to specific job boards that have the exact openings you’re looking for. Alternatively, one can look locally in career centers where local employers post jobs.
Different organizations have different titles even for the same job. With a target employer in mind, one can check the job postings and learn more about the job titles and their functions. You can also view similar jobs that are more interesting. There will be various titles with descriptions based on your search. You can compare these titles across the major job boards to open up more options.
Using the wrong job titles means that applicants will not find your job posting when searching online. It is advisable to use standard and plain terminology and put yourself in the shoes of the job seekers. What are the titles that they’re searching for the most? Use the KISS principle of Keeping It Simple and Stupid. Call the job title as you see it.
Another way is using a number of relevant keywords throughout the advert. This will make the advert appear in job searches that match the position’s qualifications and responsibilities regardless of the main title.
Conduct thorough research on the most popular job boards for the open position and compare the titles. Those that are more consistent are getting more traffic and hence will give the best results.
