Bringing In An Extra Income With Part Time Work
Many young people look to finding a part time job to earn some extra money. Advice on searching for part time vacancies is available on websites such as www.jobsvacancies.org. Since these individuals are still in school, the next best thing to getting a real job is getting one that is part time. If you are looking for a part time job vacancy then follow these guidelines:
• Never apply for a position without writing a CV. If you do not supply a CV it is likely that your application will be rejected. Make sure you detail your career highlights and acheievements in order to make you stand out from other applicants.
• If you are invited to attend an interview you must dress appropriately. For example, make sure your finger nails and hair are neat and tidy. The outfit worn should be smart or be business casual. Business casual may be a smart polo shirt and trousers / skirt. Remember to wear smart shoes and limit the amount of jewellery you wear.
• Getting a job is not easy and there will be a lot of times that the employer will say “no.” Do not take rejection personally. You were just not right for the job. Learn from this and move on.
• To appear professional greet your interviewer with a handshake and be genuine and polite throughout the interview. A strong candidate will make use of the time by talking about their skills, achievements and ambition.
• It may be a few days before you are told of the outcome of the interview, as the company may have to see other people after you. Make a note of the interviewers name and contact details so you can chase up your application after the interview.
