CV 4 Jobs

I have posted quite a few articles on your CV and how to excel at interview. But what about those of you who don’t know what you want to do. There are many employees in Ireland in the wrong job but feel lost as they don’t know what to do next.

There is no point writing a CV or preparing for interviews. You must sit back and analyse the situation. Try to understand yourself providing clarity and career direction.

If you find this difficult to do you can access career assessment tests to support this self discovery. There are tools like personality questionnaires, ability tests and interest inventories. Many organisations use these too to see if you are the right person for their company so why don’t you use these tool to see if you are right for a particular career or job.

To support you through this process there are many career coaching services in Ireland.

When you know what road you want to take pop back to the site and the many resources and article can help you land that dream job.

It is essential that jobseekers move away from the scattergun approach when sending CV’s and job applications. This approach can only lead one route – into the wrong job or career. I understand that for some people there is pressure to get work quickly BUT for most of us we have the luxury to take our time. Planning your route will reduce the chance of getting lost. Analyse what it is you want and when possible research a company before you apply.

If you don’t believe me you may have read in the papers today about one lady who in here words “I applied for job and ended up working in a brothel”.

You have been warned!!!!
