Job Search Tips

  1. Dress for success when applying for a job.  A first impression is made in the first 27 seconds.
    1. Look clean and neat.
    2. Keep jewelry to a minimum. Avoid jewelry that distractively jingles or swings when you move. If you ordinarily wear facial jewelry (e.g., in your nose, tongue or eyebrows), remove all of it before interviews.
    3. Practice good hygiene: Clean and trim your fingernails, shower, brush your teeth, gargle with mouthwash, and hair well groomed.
    4.  Avoid wearing strong perfume or cologne.
    5. Empty your pockets of bulging and jingling items.
    6. No holes in pants or shirts.
    7. No sweatshirts.
    8. No flip-flop sandals.
    9. Cover any tattoos.
  2. Record date and places where you apply.
  3. Call back in one week.
    1. Ask to speak to the hiring manager.
    2. Introduce yourself.
      i.      “Hello, my name is ____________.  I am checking on the status of my application.”
    1. If the hiring manager is not in, ask when would be a convenient time to call back.
    2. Do not call during a busy time of the day for that work place.

                                                               i.      An example would be NOT to call McDonalds at noon.

    1. Record day and time you checked on your application.
