Cung’s Answer

Hi, best way to increase your chance of getting a job or any job is to let the professionals know who you are, when your availability is, and what you are looking for in a job.
Knowing what you want would definitely help narrowing down the field of search.
Join linkedin so you can be "linked" to other professionals and your schoolmates, professors, etc.
Sign up for local professional events in your city and attend them > increase your networking chance to know more folks in the same industry you are looking for to join.
Volunteer is another best way to meet other professionals as all of us now are becoming more and more socially active outside of our work environment. All companies encourage their employees to participate in volunteer events outside of work to broaden our skills and enrich our lives to be a well grounded employee for a company.
Be patient, be persistent, and be you! believe in yourself and keep a positive mindset in everything you do each step of the way.

Chelsea’s Answer

I agree with Stacy above. One networking tactic that I have seen be very successful is reaching out to senior leadership on the HR team or a recruiter via LinkedIn. It shows that you have initiative and will go the extra mile to bring your resume to the top. Be sure to introduce yourself and reference the particular job you are interested in. The more specific you can be the better!

Anson’s Answer

Hi To,
I think you should know what kind of job you are looking for and the job requirements. Prepare for the interview by learning more about the company and "YOURSELF'. What are your strengths and your weaknesses? Show your strengths and how you are going to improve the weaknesses.
Getting a job is not difficult. But it will be challenging how you develop.

Athena’s Answer

Hi! Something that is really important is to gain experience. See if there are any jobs or internships in the area you are interested in. Another great way to gain experience is through volunteering. While I work in fashion, I have been volunteering for a non-for-profit in marketing which has helped me gain new skills and add more experience to my resume! Keep learning :)

Zainee’s Answer

Speaking on my own experience, the best way to increase your chances of landing a job is to go into an interview with purpose. Be prepared to share why the position is something you want to contribute and grow in. Think about your areas of passion, and what are the connection points to the role and responsibilities.

To do this well, you will have to put in some work to learn more about the role and organization. This will much better prepare you not just to answer questions, but ask questions that are important to you! This may lead to exploring other positions or internships should the original position you applied for not pan out.

Also, put in the extra mile and spend time to review your cover letter and resume and ensure it's concise and relevant to the role.

Networking is certainly great and can maybe help land an interview, but ultimately, it'll come down to how you show up.

Gloria’s Answer

I agree with all the recommendations for networking. It is often easiest to find out about a job from someone you know. And then they can help you apply. I would say also look for a job that you can feel passionate about or that you can bring something to do the job. What do you like to do? What do you want to be? The answers to those questions can be a starting point. The next challenge is how long the road will be based on those answers. If you want to be a doctor or a teacher, some additional education will come into play. For other job, it is simply about getting experience. What is the job before this ideal job? So for example, say you would like to own your own catering business. That certainly doesn't take a degree or even going to a cooking school. Think about the skills that you would need to do that job. Some business management skills like bookkeeping and taxes. Cooking skills to learn how to make stuff. There are jobs where you can learn one or both skills and are not catering jobs. So you may need to take some interim jobs before you get your dream job.

Blake’s Answer

The best way to enhance your chance of getting a job is doing well in the interview. Every job will most likely have pre-requisites, so if you meet that criteria then the last deciding factor is your impression on the employer.

Thanks,
Blake

Stacy’s Answer

Network, network, network. Everyone should have a well-written decent resume (and if you don't, make sure that you do), but the one who knows someone really has an advantage. Friends and colleagues at all levels are currently looking for jobs and when the resume is sent to HR or the hiring manager from a friend or colleague, it is quite often considered first! Don't be shy to make the calls, send the e-mails, reach out to your friends and family - you never know who has a neighbor doing something that you like to do, etc.
Best of luck and talk to everyone.

crest’s Answer

Hi To,

Step 1: Many large companies now utilize systems that will filter your resume before it reaches a recruiter. Sometimes the first step is just making sure that you're editing your resume to match the key words or "must have skills" in the job description that you're applying for. This will help to filter your resume into the eyes/hands of a recruiter or hiring manager. I know that this is a large task to do for every job - but it works.

Step 2: Prepare for your phone interviews by preparing answers in a notebook to reference from, for every "must have" skill that is listed in the job description. That way when the recruiter or hiring manager is asking you a question about the job, you're likely to already have the answer and will not have to guess or talk from memory.

Step 3: Prepare for an onsite interview the same as you would for your phone interview. Think about all the possible questions the interviewer could ask you and begin preparing your answers in a notebook. You're able to reference your notebook during the interview and this will help you feel both prepared and look prepared. If thinking up questions are challenging, look at the job description and think back at the work that you've been successful doing, and write down all of your successes in your notebook. Chances are, your successes are the answers to the questions the interviewer is asking.

Step 4: Ask about and get answers to a next step during the interview process whether from the recruiter or hiring manager. Also, don't forget to thank every person for their time. Sending a follow up email or phone call is appropriate to thank the interviewers and can benefit you if you also send a brief reminder/summary of your accomplishments and your desire to work at the company.
