Job Search Tips

Attitude
The foremost quality of a job-seeker is his attitude towards the job. Whether the job-seeker looks at it as a permanent one or a temporary one, so long as he searches for the job he must properly define his attitude towards it. There are times in life when we take up some job in purely temporary arrangements. There is nothing wrong in it. But that does not mean that the work we put in would be sub-standard or slovenly. There shall be no compromise on the quality of the work we put in. Therefore before you set out to search for a job, strengthen your measurements of judgment.
Aptitude
The job-seeker should understand that the aptitude he cultivates for the work he undertakes is very important. It is true that he has qualifications necessary to undertake the job: otherwise he would not go for it. But that is not enough. The panache to love and show dedication to do the job is equally important. Talent and skill when added to the desire to excel in the job to be done will give even ordinary jobs an aesthetic delight. This is not so much for getting appreciation from others but from our own point of view, a job undertaken well is soul-satisfying experience in itself.
The Age of Specialization
We live in an era of thorough specialization. We get some educational and general qualifications but often our concentration is on one very small or minute part of a subject or area of knowledge. Whether teaching, administration, finances or any other job, at all steps the emphasis is on specialized knowledge in a particular area. Accordingly whatever we have equipped ourselves with, must have this ‘specialization' tag attached to it. And never forget that there should be no compromise on the quality of work that we produce. We should take pride in the fact that we are recognized as specialists of a particular field.

If you perform a guided search, you can learn a lot about the company you are applying for a job to.
