Once you have learnt it, keep doing it until you have got your foot in the company. Even though there are thousands of people unemployed, there also hundreds of company recruiting everyday. Make your self stand out from the crowd.

1. Applying Target – Getting a job isn’t easy and requires a lot of work. You need to set yourself a target of how many jobs you will be applying for each day and for each week. If you don’t set yourself these targets then recruit wont notice you. Just by applying to fifty or even hundred jobs in one week doesn’t mean your CV will be red hot another week. Different companies are posting you new job adverts everyday. So keep your self in the game by applying everyday. A good target to set yourself would be about 20 – 30 a day. The more you do the better chances you will have of finding a job. To apply for 20 jobs should take you no more than a few hours. By the end of the week this will total up to 140 jobs you have applied for and at the end of the month 560 jobs.
