You probably did not expect it, but people who share the
same faith,
beliefs or hobbies may also help you with finding a job. You
may have a different career from theirs, but they might know somebody
who is in the same field or will be able to help you in your career.
However, depending on your level of association with them, they may
think twice about giving their opinion or thoughts about their
contacts. Their opinion can sometimes help you in making a
strategy on how to approach and ask for help from their contacts.
* People who sell you things
You may think that your relationship with these people is purely based
on trading goods and services, then paying for them. However,
people who sell you things are also sources of information when
networking.
Since these people sell their goods to different types of persons, they
may have associated with somebody who belongs to the same field as you
do, or have heard information about your target job from their other
clients.
These people will also be happy to help you, since they know that
maintaining a pleasant relationship with you means a stable
business. |

"Dressing up for the Success Interview"
Prepare and practice for an interview. After the date and
venue has been set, allow time for enough preparation for the big
day. Remember that first impressions do last, so the way an
applicant look really does matter. Employers could easily
give the verdict based on the manner of dressing during the initial
interview.
Better questions and service can be received if the appearance itself
commands respect. It is important to consider the
surroundings of the company granting you an interview. There
is no reason to be over dressed or poorly dressed during this very
significant day. In fact, it is a good rule of thumb to
always dress appropriately for any situation. All to often
appearance is glossed over. Some might say that the inner
characteristics of the person matter more, but in reality, you only
have one opportunity for a first impression. Make it count!
Although there are specific guidelines that can be followed, these does
not apply to all states like New York for example, where people wear
trendy up to extreme styles that are far away from the usual fashion
rules common people know. The rule of thumb should be to wear
something that could boost more confidence. |

Majority of skills, including knowledge-based and
transferable, could
be absorbed and developed as a volunteer, a student, a homemaker, or in
your other personal activities. The skills you have used for these
activities can still be applied to your desired jobs.
Organizing and listing your personal skills could help you easily fill
out job applications, provide useful information for job interviews,
and prepare quality resumes.
First, you should categorize the skills by separating your interests
and aptitudes from your work experience.
1) Aptitudes and interest. These include all of your hobbies,
activities you have been involved in the past, and all the things that
interest you. By listing all of these down, you could examine the
skills it takes to achieve each item.

basketball, fixing cars and many more. All of these items could

multiple tasks, have viable knowledge of human development, knowledge
of electronics and ability to diagnose mechanical and numerical
