Get hired "catch employer's attention"



How to increase your employment opportunity

Comparing the rate at which people are haunting for job to  the rate at which they get hired, one will see that not up to (5/100) five in a hundred get hired at the end of the day. What is the major reason? Does it mean the jobs advertised are not available? Or the numbers of people applying are more than the job that are available?

Firstly, not all the job advertised on the internet are genuine, but nevertheless there are still sites that posted real job openings while most sites generated vacancy and use the unemployment opportunity to drag traffic to their web pages. Whichever way, this is not the main reason for written this post. To answer the second question asked above, surely everyone knows that unemployment is a big problem around the world nowadays and this is a prove that the numbers of people applying for jobs supersede the available job. The question now is in spite of all of these, how do I get hired?

Employers are not ready to employ liabilities, anyone that will not be able to render  quality service. therefore they have adopted system or process that automatically make selections easier for them and make applying for a job difficult for job seeker. How? 
Aside from acquiring a degree from any well known institution, there are many other value added courses and certification that are out there which if acquired and matched up with exceptional skills, qualities, character and values will give you a pedestrian to wining in the market place, remember that you are not the only one that hold the degree or higher certificate.the only thing that will differentiate you from thousands of job seekers is your additional qualities and knowledge.

view of this courses or certifications are Project Management, Information Technology Cisco Networking, Microsoft certifications, comptia certification and so many more.  in addition to this, try as much as possible to get certified by the regulatory body that govern your profession, this will give you great edge over others.


Having put all of the above in place, this little tip will also catch employer attention while making selection. Make sure you dont just have a static CV and cover letter, take five minute to review employer requirement in term of skill and adjust your CV and cover letter to accomodate these because your CV and cover letter are the first impression about yourself. 

till we meet again,
keep excelling
