Find a Job - Essay Example

In looking for a job, it would be easier to find one if I look within my own network.  It has an advantage both on my part and my prospective employer.  For me, I would have the advantage of knowing who the employer is and that would entail knowing how they treat, pay and exciting (or boring) the job is that would give me an idea if I should pursue the application or not.  For the part of the employer, they would already know my background because I am not a total stranger to them and it would save them money from recruiting a total stranger.

Looking for a job within my network that could be available through trade associations of which I am a member or somebody I know who is a member of a trade association that could recommend me.   This way, I could send my resume personally or through a person I know easily.

Looking for a job this way may be easy to secure an interview because the employer is already receptive to me having known me or somebody has already recommended me.  But it does not mean that I should not prepare.  I may have the advantage but that does not mean that the job will be automatically given to me.  Beginning from my resume, all should be done professionally which would make me stand out.  During the interview, I should profess my mastery of the job being applied for coupled with the professed ability to work well in teams and organizations.  I should package myself to be a standout by highlighting aspects of my capability that could get the job done.
