Every now and then there is a voice saying getting hired is a no-nounder such a market situation. Yes, it is hard, but there is a way.Successful job seekers (well, job hunter to be pricise in thissituation) know even in tough economic times, there is opportunity. Youjust have to dig it a bit deeper, or just one inch deeper than yourpeers. The following threads shows how it is going to work.
The following sessions are divided into four core parts (bulletpoint clickable).
- Part I - explains basic things to avoid, and basic skillsets to acquire before a real job searching process
- Part II- tells some most frequent situation to which most graduates encounter.Making the right decision would end up saving a ton of time andprogress towards your career goal
