In order to “Get a Job” I must do all of the following things:

• Look at the day to day roles of the job that I have seen advertised on the employer’s website because they are the main source.
• See if the job posted or advertised meets the necessary requirements.
• Have a range of CV’s and covering letters that are tailored to fit the different working industries that exist in the world of work.
• Do my homework about each individual employer that I have submitted a job application to e.g. who the company are, what type of job industry is their company based around, where they were founded and possibly even what has been the company’s most notable achievements.
• Take a look into the previous experience that will be necessary to have I the job that you will potentially be submitting a job application for.
• Get as good grades as possible from college.
• Make sure I have good “experiences” (work, extra-curricular, voluntary, additional qualifications) from college.
• Do a personality test to find the types of roles my character is best suited for.
