Another advantage to tailoring applications is that you are forced to fully consider what the job is likely to involve. It encourages you to apply for jobs that are more suited to you, which has obvious benefits for you if you get the job as well as increases your chances of getting it.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15856652059272990613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119559248667291504.post-69297437170706637572010-07-07T10:41:22.331-07:002010-07-07T10:41:22.331-07:00Great post Beth.

True that internships are not financially beneficial to young graduates as most of them are unpaid however they should be considered as alternatives. Tailoring your job application is very important. Yes it is time consuming but it's worth doing. Graduates should also use social media platforms such as Linkedin, Twitter or Facebook in order to spot employer's offers and build up their 'e' reputation.Kingounoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9119559248667291504.post-77368046584083783152010-07-07T08:44:10.131-07:002010-07-07T08:44:10.131-07:00I was out visiting clients yesterday so got the op...I was out visiting clients yesterday so got the opportunity to hear this on the radio. Somebody who graduated a couple of years ago phoned in and made the comment that you will need to stand out from the crowd if you want to get a job in these tough times. He said, and I wholeheartedly agree, that the way to stand out is to tailor every single job application to the position being offered. Show that you understand what is being asked of the succesful applicant, show that you understand the company, the clients and the sort of work that they do, and then very clearly show what skills and qualities you have that will match.<br /><br />Do not just send the same CV for every job you apply for.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
