>>23576898My mom and dad taught me the key to getting a job, it’s kind of a multi step process, but it looks kind of like this.
To start you need:
> a well written and condensed résumé, no more than maybe three pages. There’s plenty of free advice out there on how to make a good one so there’s no reason not to have this.> modify the resume slightly for each job, a lot more skills than you think are important in a wide field of jobs. In particular, I found people skills, (not necessarily customer service but more people service related) are generally desirable across the board since a lot of future jobs that don’t require you to interact with people will probably be cut by AI> a decent set of clothes, you don’t need like a pantsuit or anything just good business casual works. > a good confident, professional attitude.And really that’s all you need. Start by sending out an application and resume digitally, then follow up in a day or two to drop off a paper packet in person, this gets the employer’s attention that you’re serious about the position and want it. Also digital applications and résumé are fucking shit. Some of these places get literally hundreds of these so you’re not likely to stand out. showing up in person makes you memorable. After that, be sure to follow up with them via phone in about three days if you don’t hear anything back. And then a week after that if they’re still inconclusive. I’d say try to do as much of it through a person as possible since that’s generally how I’ve always gotten hired, emails and automated computer shit just is not reliable.
If you bring all of the above items and follow these sets, you’re well ahead of the curb of most other people. I’ve applied for probably a dozen jobs in this manner and I’ve only been rejected from like two or three, every other place offered me a job. Never once heard back from the 10 or so places I filled out purely digital and automated applications for.
