Career path is very important in a student’s life that is very career oriented as well. Students in order to get a right job in right time need to start their job hunting during the right season. Many students do not get job even after they complete their studies in time just because they have not started to look for it in right time.

There is always a very heavy traffic of job finders in January according to a survey. According to some critics July-Aug is right time to do job hunt and to look for a job. There are always students leaving and joining the organizations in this very month. The length of job hunt also depends on the plenty of factors. It does include job market, your qualification, location and amount of time you want to dedicate for the job. 

According to some surveys job hunt should be started before four months of joining it. There is a Job Hunting Cycle which exists on six steps. The cycle starts from the Access. Accessing the source or organization where you want to apply for the job is first step and then it goes on. Another right time to start the job hunting could be during the Internship. Many students are sent for internship of mostly three months. I would like to suggest you to read the career counseling articles for proper guidance.

Many times many employees hire the internees as per their requirements and skills of Internees. Students often ignore job hunting even after internship and they are of the view that they will get the job within days whenever they will start the hunting while it is not so. There is always a proper and right time of doing everything.

Deer Hunting Jobs – Rules and Regulations on Deer Hunting

Deer Hunting Jobs – Rules and Regulations on Deer Hunting

Deer Hunting Jobs

The Government does its job by establishing proper rules and regulations for deer hunting and when they are imposed on the deer hunters, it results in a stable deer population and is also advantageous for the deer hunters in many ways. All the states have their own set of rules and thus it is advisable that you keep yourself abreast of them. Moreover it is necessary for you to be updated with these rules because these rules change quite often and before the deer hunting season commences, you should review all the regulations for your benefit.

• Hunting Categories and Other Regulations - Sometimes the hunting categories and other vital specifications change and thus a deer hunter should always keep himself updated. For example, the dates for antlerless and muzzleloader switched in the 2009 season. Among the other changes the young hunters who were a minimum of six years old would require a permit, non-resident landowner permits were abolished, a person mentoring a hunter would to be a minimum of 18 years old and possess a hunter education certification if that person lacked certification in firearms safety or was not hunting on a land owner permit. Apart from these the other changes were carried over to the next season. Deer Hunting Jobs

• Four-Point Rule - This rule was established in all states including Missouri that stated the deer to have at least four points that measure a minimum of one-inch so that they can be hunted. The deer are provided more time for their antler growth which does not grow large at the age of three. Hence some more time which is beneficial for the deer as it becomes wiser by age and thus more challenging for the hunters.

• Regulations for Older Hunters - This law has been imposed in several states including Illinois according to which the hunter aged 62 or above must use a crossbow during the bow hunting season. Earlier crossbows could only be used by individuals having some confirmed disabilities and thus it is now easier, safer and effective for the older people to practice their favorite sport of deer hunting.

Job Hunting Got Easier with New Generation Job Search Tools

Job Hunting Got Easier with New Generation Job Search Tools

Nowadays, job hunting is no longer a headache for job-seekers. They know how to take maximum benefits of technology in job searching. Internet and mobiles have become new generation job search tools. There are several reputed job portals offering job listings from all sectors. Job seekers can register themselves on these portals and get benefits of all exciting features being offered by them.

Job Search – Before Inclusion of Technology

Job hunting was a tough task for unemployed people. Everyone has faced the problems in job hunting after passing out from college. The problems and difficulties faced during job search are well known.

People have to find relevant vacancies matching their educational qualification from job classifieds given in newspaper. For that they had to spend a lot of time in short listing of jobs. To apply for shortlisted jobs candidates need to visit offices of recruiters and submit their resume there. The whole process was very much tiring and time consuming.

Job Search in Modern Tech Driven World

Nowadays, job hunting process has become a lot easier than it was few years ago. Like earlier, job seekers don’t need to flip though pages of classified jobs in employment bulletins, and local & national newspapers. Nowadays, recruitment and hiring process has been simplified by inclusion of technology.

Companies prefer to post job vacancy in online job websites rather than putting classifieds in newspapers and employment bulletins. Job seekers can filter out only relevant jobs that suit their educational qualification and professional skills. If candidates are registered user of that job portal, they can apply directly through websites by just clicking apply now button. They don’t need to visit offices of employer physically until they get call for personal interview.

Applying for jobs is not a nightmare now. Most of the times recruiters find your resume on candidate’s listing of job portals, and if your key skills match their selection criteria, they directly give you call. So, if you are fortunate and you have prepared a really impressive profile on online job sites, you get a job without even applying. Job portals also inform you by SMS if any vacancy is posted matching your qualifications and professional experiences.

Therefore, it is easily understandable that with advancements in technology and rising use of Internet in job search and recruitment services has changed the whole process of applying and hiring for a job. It is equally beneficial for job seekers (potential employees) and job providers (potential employers).

Job Hunting in a Recession

Job Hunting in a Recession

Economic Crisis, Recession and Credit Crunch seem to be the buzz words of the day and while it’s tempting to dismiss the doom and gloom propagated by the media as hyperbole, the fact is the global economy faces some very uncertain times ahead. Predicting the depth and duration of the financial downturn is near on impossible, but there is no doubt that to some extent we will be feeling the effects for at least the next 6 months (and most likely longer.) Thanks in part to the conservative lending policies of the domestic banking system, the Czech Republic is not (and probably will not) suffer to the extent of the UK and US; nevertheless we live in a highly interdependent global economy and there is no doubt that many of us, individuals and businesses alike, will ‘feel the pinch.’

For most people in times of recession, the primary concern is that of job security. Whether you are currently unemployed, about to look for your first job, or in danger of being made redundant, the job market is no longer an easy place to navigate.

First, let’s clarify one basic concept; in times of economic growth the demand for labor is high and supply tends to be low. In other words there are more open job vacancies than there are suitable job hunters. In times of recession (as we are currently facing) demand is low and supply is high, i.e. more people applying for fewer jobs. Generally, during times of economic growth if you see a job you are suitable for, you might send a standard CV to human resources and, assuming you tick all the boxes, you will most likely be invited for an interview. In times of recession however, you will often find that you will be competing with many other applicants for the same job; increasing the possibility of being over-looked. In short, although you may be a superior candidate, there is more of a chance of your CV being passed over due to the large number of other applicants.

So how do you get yourself noticed? How do you get your foot in the door to claim the job you want? In a word – marketing. You must present or market yourself in a way that the decision makers are made aware of your calibre. Here are some tips and ideas to help you market yourself into that next job:

CV

Spend some time creating a CV masterpiece. Not half an hour just listing your chronological job history. Imagine it’s your first day in a new job and your boss asks you to prepare a small presentation; you’d probably spend hours on it, even working into the night, just to make a good impression. Why should your CV presentation be any different?

Whilst I used the term ‘CV masterpiece’ this doesn’t means an artistic masterpiece, and it certainly should not be a 4 hour epic. Less is often more in a CV, and very few CVs should have any color other than black and white and using any more than 2 fonts can be distracting. So what should you be doing in these hours spent preparing your CV? As with any project, the most important parts are planning, analysis and preparation. Research how other people style their CVs (ask for help) and emulate the style that you think is most appropriate for your profile. Then you need to think about what you should write.

In terms of the CV content, try and stay focused on relevant experiences. Your time working in a bar during college does not need to be mentioned – unless of course it’s bar work you are looking for! Also, experience gained over 5 years ago need only be summarised. More focus should be on your most recent experience. If you want to mention your hobbies and interests, then it should only be a one line entry.

Remember this; in times of recession companies are more interested than ever in people who can add value to their company. Their focus is on cutting costs, improving sales, and improving general efficiency. In other words they want people who are results orientated. No matter what your profession, you can focus on the value you add to the overall business. If you are a web developer, don’t just write a list of the technical skills you have. You don’t have to be in sales or finance to make your CV more business orientated. For example don’t write “Programmed a web application in Java” instead write “Was solely responsible for delivering a Java based web application for one of the world’s leading web portals. In the 6 months following the launch of this application the website hits increased by 35%.” In other words, try and focus on the overall impact your work had as opposed to just discussing the work you did. Generally where possible mention the success you achieved, or the success you were part of.

Making Contact – The Pitch

Ok, so you are now armed with an A1 CV, but where do you send it? Of course there is the obvious route of searching online job portals and applying to jobs through HR. Even with a great CV this is not necessarily the best route. You will still be one CV of many and very easily over-looked. Therefore you need to get yourself heard. Here are some ideas how:

Go straight to the line manager. With a bit of effort it is not difficult to find the email contact of the person you want. Drop them an email with your CV attached. In the message body write a short and clear summary of why you are sending your CV and what your added value will be.

Go to as many networking/society events, conferences and trade fairs as you can. Meet enough people in a more social ‘face to face’ environment and you will soon end up talking to a potential hiring manager, or at least someone who knows someone. Providing you create a positive impression, their interest in you as a potential employee can increase dramatically, and this is without them even seeing your award winning CV!

Partner with recruitment agencies that can take care of the marketing side of things for you. With hundreds of agencies on the market you need to do your research here. Ask friends and colleagues about their experiences and find out which ones genuinely help market you into the right jobs and which ones just band your CV around without due consideration.

Leverage your job hunting status by informing the world you are on the market. Email friends, colleagues, and any relevant contacts to inform them you are available for new opportunities. Use social-networking sites to make new contacts whilst allowing potential hiring managers to find you.

Your actual skills, experiences and personality will always be the key to getting the role you want, but in these times you might need to learn to market yourself more than ever before.  In short, regardless of whether you are marketing a company or marketing ‘yourself’ – achieving success in a period of recession requires more research, more perseverance and a creative approach; skills which are sure to be attractive to any prospective employer.

3 Common Job Hunting Mistakes Candidates Make When Getting a New Job

3 Common Job Hunting Mistakes Candidates Make When Getting a New Job

Some people wonder what mistakes they did and why they failed to get a particular job. Others even get depressed thinking that getting rejected for a particular job means they are not good enough. The fact of the matter is, most of the time the reasons are simple that most people think. Here are 3 of the most common job hunting mistakes committed by applicants.

Many lack the confidence employers are looking for. Employers want their employees who can stand up with their own feet and can represent the name of the company. This is the reason why most employers look for applicants who have what it takes. Job hunting and job interviews are indeed daunting and nerve-racking. Thinking that the job interview can be the deciding factor whether you will get the job you’ve always been dreaming of can ruin your confidence and can block your mind. Once the nervousness sinks in, you will forget the speech you prepared the previous night. Your hands will start to shake, and your lips will start to tremble once you speak, you will definitely stutter. The best way to get the fear out of your head is to come prepared. If you know you are prepared for the job interview, you can leave the fear behind. Practice days before your interview. Face a mirror and practice your speech. Prepare your resume in a way that will impress your employer and dress neatly and professionally. Once you start the interview, do not think beyond the interview itself (the salary, the job itself, the expectations this and that), and simply think that you are talking to a person who simply wants to use your services. In this way, you can keep yourself from being overwhelmed and anxious.

Don’t act as if you do not want the job. Make your employer feel that you are very eager to get the job and out of the hundred other applicants, you are the one who want the job the most. Do not act so complacent and relaxed during the job interview. Do not be too boastful regarding your achievements and educational background. Focus on your skills and attitude towards work. Some overachieved applicants wonder why they fail to get a particular job even if they have all the right credentials. They overlook the fact that attitude and personality also counts. Additionally, show your employer that you want to work for them in long term. Never state that you just want to gain the experience and eventually you will venture in another job. This is a major no-no.

And finally, to make your job hunting a success, proofread your application form and resume. Just imagine what your employer would feel if your objective is to utilize your writing skills if you are applying as a financial analyst. Avoid giving reasons for your employer to put your resume in the paper shredder. There are hundreds of other applicants who want the same job as well. Your employer would not waste his time going through a resume full of misspelled words wrong details.
