If you are able to look for work,
here are the steps to find a job:

define and identify your skills and interests

find out about the labour market

prepare tools (résumé, cover letter) to tell people
about yourself

consult the job offers that are posted and find out
about jobs that are not posted (“hidden” offers)

get ready for a job interview

present your candidacy in a positive way
First of all, you must think about your professional life.
• To have a career goal, you must spend some serious time thinking
about yourself. What you can do, love to do, want to do. This selfanalysis step is very important.
• Don‟t search for the answers right now. Feel free to ask questions with
an open mind. Feel free to ask yourself questions you never ask before.
• The main question is « How can I improve my skills, update it, maintain
it at the same level or get one. »
• Think of yourself as a value for the company. What is your ability to
create value for an employer.
• Be curious, get information about your sector of work

A successful job search is a matter of attitude. A positive
attitude is the cause of a successful job search, not the
result.

Employers are looking for people who believe in
themselves and in their skills, who want to work, who
want to work for them, and who generally have a positive
attitude.
Feel good about yourself. This is the key to a positive
attitude. The points that follow are ways of helping you
feel good about yourself.



Talk positively about yourself and your abilities. You
know the story about the little engine that could, right?
What you believe about yourself is the foundation of all
your future actions.

Employers will scan a resume for less than 30 seconds to decide
considering the applicant. He will read those left after.
Some may use an automated scan instead to short list resumes and
get your resume in the „for consideration‟ pile.
A resume is a "snapshot" of your personality and needs to be:
Written with the employer‟s interests in mind
Professional in appearance
Targeted for a particular job or organization
"Letter-perfect." Spelling and grammar mistakes can mean an
automatic trip to the reject pile
An honest and clear demonstration of your skills, abilities and
achievements
A clear indication of what you offer to the employer.
