How To Find a Job and Keep It

     I know it has been really tough in this economy to find a job. Especially when you apply for a position where thousands have applied for. There are many easy ways to finding a job. At least some kind of income can do anyone good until you can find a better position somewhere else. Its like stairs to success. You start out with your resume,  practice on interviews, last but not least the job. To some it is extremely difficult to even get past that due to the not knowing what to put on the resume. How to write it. Here I will give you to the best of my knowledge how to build yourself from ground up.
             Write a list of all your past jobs, all the tasks and responsibilities you had put a little note on the side to remind you what you liked most of that job. Make sure your list is from the most recent job to the oldest. That gives the interviewers the Idea of what do you have fresh that you can just jump into. Think of things you are doing on the side like volunteering, or even cleaning your house, things you know you're  good at. Hobbies, like for instance one of my hobbies is carpentry. This actually help me get started in home remodeling jobs and I'm a female lol.
  Once you've got a list of jobs you have done duties, hobbies then its education. List even classes that you've taken like cake decorating or excel. Even if you didn't complete courses you can say you are seeking employment to pay you schooling fees. Education is a very big key ingredient in your resume. It shows the interviewer what you are all about. Where your mind state is. Look up a resume template here is a template you can use through GOOGLE Google Resume Template Just fill in what you would like in the jiborish spaces. Or Google resume templates. You can also get on Microsoft starter and click on new and look for templates. Just type in resume and you can download any template you like.
      Take your time when writing your resume so that way it is perfect. If your not sure that is why it is awesome to use the web for any kind of information you need. If you don't know what to write look it up. Ask Google a question. That is how I learned lots of info.
     Once your resume is complete get on craigslist and start searching for jobs. Think of all the jobs you liked previously or the jobs you would like to find yourself in and just search. Read all the details and request. Give the inquirer what they want. When making calls make sure to sound like a pro. Speak with clear English like you are a pro telemarketer, be honest don't tell unless you are asked. Once you have sent a message or 2 or have called now its time to sit back and wait.

Enjoy and Good Luck and remember be careful who you share your personal info with. Please make sure you go in person to apply for a job or that they have a legit website that you can apply to. If not make sure you speak to a human being and look up the company before you give them your personal info for an app.Good luck will be back soon for a detailed help in getting a kick butt interview. :)
