Introduction

Welcome to How to Find a Job. So, you’re applying for jobs. No one really wants to be there—it is a frightening thing to put yourself out there. You are putting your professional history all in front of you to be scrutinized in under ten seconds. Did you know that the average hiring manager only spends about six seconds on a resume to determine whether it is going to make it into the interview pile or not? This means that you have just six seconds to make your resume stand out enough to get a callback.

Intimidated?

Most people are. It is a daunting thing to be in that position of being judged when your judge, jury, and executioner will only take six seconds to disregard your application, only to never call you and leave you wondering what went wrong. If you’d like to avoid that, however, this guide is here to help you.

We all need money to live, and that means that for all but the independently wealthy, those born into wealth, and those who are just plain lucky, will have to work at some point or another, and that means applying for jobs. Whether you are applying for your first job or you are applying to a new position, this guide is here to help you.

We will be discussing how you can get a job, condensing it all down to just 7 easy steps. If you are ready to get started with work and you know that this is something that you are determined to do, then keep following the guide… You will be able to brush up your job application skills in no time, and you will find yourself being capable of great things—all by being well aware of what it will take. While it is, in theory, as simple as applying for a job and calling it good, there are other considerations to make that will dramatically up your chances of getting that job that you are looking for. Whether it is a side-grade or an upgrade in terms of pay, you can get it.

Let’s get started!

Chapter 1: Step 1 - Consider Your Skillset

So, you have decided that you want a new job, or it could be your first job ever. It is time for you to get started—so what do you do first? You could go straight to Craigslist and start applying willy-nilly to every single job that even remotely sounds interesting without reading any of the requirements or considering how you would feel about it. You could choose to put in random applications to jobs. However, this is not going to be the most effective use of your time or energy. You could do this—but you could also choose to make use of one simple step that will change the course of your life forever—or at the very least, help you avoid wasting time during your application process. No, don’t just apply to it all and hope something will stick. You need to be strategic about your applications. You need to think it through and know exactly what you are doing at all points in time.

How do you do this, you may ask?

Simple: You consider your skillset.

Yes, this one little step can actually dramatically change your job search for the better. This one step can guide you so that you look primarily at jobs that are worth it. You will be applying primarily for jobs that you will be able to profit from and jobs that will be suited to your own personal skills. By paying attention to your skillset, in particular, you know that you are giving yourself that direct consideration that you need—you are helping yourself to remain focused, so you do not waste time on jobs that are irrelevant or barely relevant to you.

What Is a Skillset?

Of course, you may be wondering what a skillset is. You can’t consider your skillsets if you don’t know what skill sets are, of course. Thankfully, they are quite simple to understand. Your skillet is sort of the culmination of who you are and what you are. It combines your knowledge, your own personality, and the skills that you have developed over the course of your life into nice packages that you can usually summarize in just
