Job Hunt Tip: When going for an interview, wear an outfit that best fits the organisation and its culture, striving for the most professional appearance.

Job Hunt Tip: Do not include all your experience in your CV. Only include what you believe the interviewer might consider valuable.

Job Hunt Tip: You should apply for certain positions, even if you don’t meet all requirements. Many companies hire for talent over experience.

Job Hunt Tip: No matter how bad your experiences have been, never badmouth a previous employer. It’s extremely unprofessional, and won’t make a good impression.

Job Hunt Tip: If you’re filling in an application form by hand, write neatly, and follow all instructions. You won’t get hired if they can’t read it.

Job Hunt Tip: Google yourself, and see what comes up. Many employers will reject a job candidate based on information found about the potential hire online.

Job Hunt Tip: Know your worth. Know how much others in the same position as you are making so you’re not too far off-base when negotiating salary.

Job Hunt Tip: Most employers have specific time-based positions to fill, so the greater your availability, the greater your chances of being hired.

Job Hunt Tip: Stay motivated during your job search. Challenge yourself to submit five applications a day, or give yourself a deadline to find a job.
