While searching for a job one can cope with many stressful situations.

So, I would like to give some

advice to make this period easier.
First, get comfortable with the idea that finding a job is going to be a full-time occupation. Then set
some specific goals and make up a time schedule. For example, every week plan to send out 10 letters and
call 5 companies. This will help keep you going in the face of rejections.
Second, you must want the job and communicate this to the interviewer. Employers always look
for enthusiasm in applicants, because usually an enthusiastic interviewee becomes a successful employee. If
you want something badly enough, you generally have a good chance of getting it.
Use your contacts. A good contact can ensure that your resume will be looked at seriously. A
contact can vouch for you, which automatically lessens the risk for the prospective employer. What is more,
contacts may suggest some companies and industries you might never even have thought about.
Set realistic goals. We all want great jobs in high-paying industries with solid futures. The reality is
that most jobs don’t offer that, especially when you start out. So you should aim high, but be realistic.
If you want a really good job, you should make sure you feel good about what the company does,
its philosophy and the people working there. When you join the company, you represent them and become
part of the corporation, and it’s important to feel some pride in what you do.
What is more, when looking for a job, each week may seem endless. But don’t jump at the first job
you are offered. Try not to panic and decide whether the offer is really right for you. If it isn’t, turn it down
politely. An extra couple of months in the job market may seem like forever, but it is almost always worth
the wait.
And finally, the most important thing is that you should know your own worth. Make a list of all
the skills listed in postings for the job you’re looking to get: computer skills, technical skills, communication
skills, research skills, problem-solving skills. Also remember to emphasize soft skills. Showcase qualities
like friendliness, professionalism, responsiveness. Strong soft skills can go a long way as they can’t really be
taught.
Talking about skills needed, professional skills depend on the job you apply to. For example, if
you’re a translator, you should have excellent writing skills in your native language as well as reading and
comprehension skills in your source languages, cultural knowledge in both your target and source languages,
the ability to specialize in one or a few subject areas and good computer skills. And of course you don’t
have to be good at all above mentioned things if you are an accountant. On the other hand, your soft skills
can be helpful in any occupation.
A roundup of several surveys suggests skills that employers often admire.
Effective communication: Employers seek candidates who can listen to instructions and act on
those instructions with minimal guidance. They want employees who speak, write, and listen effectively,
organize their thoughts logically, and explain everything clearly.
Computer and technical literacy: Almost all jobs now require an understanding, ranging from
basic to advanced, of computer software, word processing, e-mail, spreadsheets, and Internet navigation.
 Problem-solving and Creativity: Employers always want people who can get them out of a pickle.
Problem-solving ability can aid you with making transactions, processing data, formulating a vision and
reaching a resolution. Employers need the assurance that you can conquer job challenges by thinking
critically and creatively.
Interpersonal abilities: Relationship-building and relationship-management are high priorities with
many employers. These skills confirm that a candidate can relate well to others, both co-workers and
customers.
Planning and organizing: Workplace life requires prioritizing and organizing information.
Employers value people who, metaphorically, dig a well before they’re thirsty.
Leadership and management: Leadership consists of a strong sense of self, confidence, and a
comprehensive knowledge of company goals. These are qualities that motivate and inspire, providing a solid
foundation for teamwork.
If you follow all these tips, you are close to finding a good job for you. But when you have already
found yours, you surely want to get to the top and be successful. In this case everything depends on you.
You should take initiative. In today’s competitive career landscape, employers are looking for
individuals who can bring fresh ideas to the table and take initiative, start new projects, pitch new solutions
and create new opportunities for the business.
To excel in your career, you have to be willing to learn. No matter what university you graduated
from or what grades you had, professional life will be very different from college. Be prepared to have a
million questions pop up every day regarding what you’re doing. It might take you days to get a hang of
your duties at your new job, so show that you are coachable, paying attention and always willing to learn
new things.
Set goals to achieve. Remember you’re not being paid for ‘working hard’ or ‘staying busy.’ At the
end of the day, what matters to your employer is how you’re contributing to fulfilling the company’s goals
and mission.
Learn to remove distractions. Maintain a discipline and focus on your priorities. Don’t do the easy
things first. Rather, prioritize those commitments that provide the highest return.
In the end, you become what you think. If you have a mentality conducive to success, you’ll get
there.
In Ukraine it is popular among students to do vacation work. They can work in summer camps, call
centers, shops, cinemas, restaurants and bars. As a rule, previous experience is beneficial, but these are sorts
of jobs you can be easily taught to do. But it is not only their Motherland where students work during their
holidays. Very often they go abroad, because they want to earn more money and see the world. There some
programs which help students apply for a lob in Germany, the USA, Poland and some other countries. If you
don’t know the language of the country you are going to work in, you can be applied as a person who
gathers fruit and vegetables and you are paid for the amount you have gathered. The most common sort of
jobs students typically do abroad with knowledge of the language are: work in a restaurant as a waiter or a
helper at the kitchen or a bartender, a helper of a manager in different shops or a hostess in a hotel.
As for me, I had a job abroad last summer. I was a helper at the kitchen in Germany.
