How to Obtain a Good Job

Three of the many readings I came across contained important information on how to get ready for and land a decent job. I start out by perusing "Six Job Hunting Myths Debunked." This article taught me an important lesson: if your resume is longer than one page, the reader won't have enough time to thoroughly peruse it. Evidently, when I began drafting my first resume, everyone I sought advice from advised me to keep it to one page, which prevented me from including unnecessary information. I also found "How to Answer These Tricky Interview Questions" to be helpful reading. In the interviews, the often-asked question is what is your greatest weakness. Giving out the correct answer to this query is not an easy task, but after reading the article, I got the appropriate way of answering such a question. The final reading is “Ways to Enhance Your Employability: Or What You Can Do During Summer Break.” The points outlined in the article are essential to establishing the right employment links, finding the future career, and how to identify the emerging job opportunities.

From these items, I gained skills that made me improve my resume, making it attractive and concise. For example, when I write a resume, I make sure that it is one page long or less, with essential information about myself. Again, the readings enlightened me on how to make my resume precise, but detailed, clear, and simple to understand. Like most of us, I always get nervous during an interview. However, after reading the article on “How to Answer These Tricky Interview Questions,” I found all the information on how to respond to those queries, which made me develop confidence and courage when facing any interviewer. Finally, the last reading had detailed information on how I can improve myself as a student and how to prepare myself to be a productive employee. The reading taught me on the concept of remaining competitive in the current job market, which gives an added advantage to me when applying a job to any company. The article emphasized on being informed and updated with the current technology, and being familiar with the methods of operations used by most of the firms.
