The list goes on, but make sure to consider
the
skills that would be beneficial for a working environment.
2) Work history. This includes volunteer, part-time, freelance, summer
and full time jobs. Once you have listed all your past
employment, examine the skills you do work each work duty.
* Ask for help. As soon as you have your list ready, you could now go
to job services that could help you acquire your desired job.
You could also search job yourself. However, always remember to match
your skills and abilities in your list to the needed skills and
abilities of various jobs.
In most cases, people who seek jobs are threatened with job titles.
This should not be the case. As long as your skills and abilities could
meet the requirements of the workload and job title, your possibility
of acquiring your desired job increases. |

In this case,
ask them to keep their eyes open for opportunities that
you might be interested in. You can also leave with them
copies of your resume.
* Just ask for two referrals.
Two referrals are enough from each warm contact. This is to
have another option in case the first one didn't work out.
Asking for more than two referrals could be impolite as it can take
much time from your warm contact. Also, that will make your
warm contact feel that you are relying mostly on him or her for your
job search. So, unless they volunteer the information, don't
ask for more than 2 referrals.
* Contact referrals as soon as possible.
When your warm contacts give you referrals, there are times that they
also call these people personally to give more information about
you. On the other hand, when you contact the people to whom
you were referred, your referrals may call your warm contacts to verify
the information or to ask more information about you.
Either way, you have to contact your referrals soon enough that these
people can still remember their conversation with your warm contact, or
your warm contact can still remember that you have talked.
At times, after your referrals were called by your warm contacts, they
anticipate your call and even prepare questionnaires and exams for you
to take. Do not waste this opportunity by delaying follow-up
on referrals.
Keeping these tips in mind will be able to help you in asking for good
referrals from your warm contacts.

"How to Follow Up on All Contacts"
If you are still in the job search process, it is extremely important
to follow up on all contacts. It is not good to just sit and wait for
results to come pouring in when you think that you've already done your
part because your contact information has been distributed.
Consider two men applying for a prime position at a company. After the
interview, the first applicant just sits around waiting to hear from
his prospective employer.
On the other hand, the second applicant distributes his contact
information to some people that he met in the company. Furthermore,
applicant number two does a follow-up on the results of the job
interview a few days later. The first applicant has not been heard
from, because he just relies on the basic "We'll call you" routine. Who
do you think will have a greater chance of getting the job?
