The first question for oneself should be “Am I ready to be hired?” This should be for every people in this world because my people fails to understand and gets disappointed when they get rejected.

It is important to learn as it helps an individual to obtain necessary skills that will aid them to grow and sustain in a job.

After you figure it out that you are ready for the job and possess all the skills required the next step is you should be unique and creative from other candidates who are standing in the queue.

These days, if you want to get the job, you have to stand out from the pack. It isn’t enough to simply be a good candidate. You have to be great. Exceeding the hiring manager’s expectations is a must. The best way to shine and stand out among a sea of job applicants is to have a clear strategy.

Here are crucial things you need to do to get the job-

· Do your research- It is very important to have a research about the company. Its mission and vision, objective, cultures.

Your potential employer wants to see how you’ll help the company, and the specific team you’re applying to, meet its objectives. Search Google News, so you’re aware of the most recent product launches or personnel changes in case they come up during the interview.

Don’t be afraid to sell yourself — Being too humble during a job interview by selling your accomplishments short will hurt you in the long run. By not praising your own accomplishments, there’s a chance the interviewer may just think you don’t have any. Sell your strengths, and highlight any past experience that would be especially beneficial to the position at hand.

· Building your resume- Having a very good resume creates an impression. Your resume must adhere to the role you are pursuing. It needs to speak to the specific job post you are applying to. You should look at the qualifications and the duties in the job description, and tailor a specific resume to that.

· Have someone refer you- Networking is a must. Employers love to see candidates engaging in the industry and interacting with professional organizations. Also, when you network, you can build strong connections and develop long lasting relationships that can lead to referrals. If someone praises you as a professional, employers take notice.

· Own your strengths but also your weaknesses- Lots of candidates provide the same answer when asked about their greatest weakness: They’re too much of a perfectionist. While it might be true, it won’t help you stand out. Instead identify a weakness that actually works for the job.

Lets learn on how to build a Resume

For most job-seekers, a good resume is what stands between a dream job and Choice D. Get your resume right, and you’ll be getting replies from every other company you apply to. If your resume game is weak, though, you’ll end up sitting around for weeks, maybe even months, before you even get a single response.
