Job Search

For a More Successful Job Search Read the Want Ads

When it comes to finding jobs either as an employee or as an entrepreneur, it is often said, “It is not what you know, but who you know.” While this may be true, it doesn’t change the fact that it is good to know as much as possible about the industry in which you are seeking employment. One of the easiest places to learn about your industry is the want ads. Think about it. When employers place advertisements seeking applicants to fill job openings they share quite a bit of information. Some of the information that is shared includes the following::
  • Job title
  • Position description
  • Salary for position
  • Duties required
  • Prerequisite skills, experience, and education

 

It is wonderful to educate yourself to make the job search more successful by reading the want ads.

By reading the job description, slowly and carefully, you are better prepared to compete for the position. The information in the advertisement makes it possible for you to give answers during the interview that will be truthful and pleasing to the interviewer. Both of these things lead to increase the likelihood of success in the job search.

By paying attention to the information found in the want ads, you are:

  • Better able to draft a resume to show your qualifications
  • Get a clear understanding of what will be required by the position you are seeking
  • Discover any education and skills you need to brush up on or obtain to be successful in the position you seek

 

 

These things are important to keep in mind because for many positions, your resume does all the talking for you. By reading the want ads carefully and paying attention to the details provided in the advertisement, you are able to craft your resume specifically for the job you seek. Reading the ad carefully will enable you to highlight the pertinent jobs, projects, and experiences in your work history that will be most beneficial to the potential employer. In order to be successful in the application process, the interview process and later on the job itself. It is equally important to possess the requisite education and experience for the position and learn that you do not have the experience and education for the position of your dreams. This knowledge is important because it will enable you to make plans to prepare to obtain the job of your dreams in the future.

In conclusion, it is wonderful to educate yourself to make the job search more successful by reading the want ads. So, the question for you this wonderful day is how can you educate yourself to make your job search more successful?
