    UNSOLICITED ENGINEERING JOB HUNTING

    Job hunting, job seeking, or job searching is the act of looking for employment, due to unemployment or discontent with a current position. The immediate goal of job seeking is usually to obtain a job interview with an employer which may lead to getting hired. The job hunter or seeker typically first looks for job vacancies or employment opportunities. Common methods of job hunting are:

    finding a job through a friend or an extended business network or personal network
    using a job search engine
    looking through the classifieds in newspapers
    using a private or public employment agency or recruiter
    looking on a company's web site for open jobs, typically in its applicant tracking system
    going to a job fair

    Many graduates always stay idle without working hard to get a job.They believe their uncles,aunts and big brothers will give them the job when it is around.As a graduate dont ever have that in mind,because at the end people will insult and mock you.
    There are ways i have examined this job hunting,like:

    1 Knowing the employers
    2 Networking
    3 Applying

    1.knowing the employers:

    It is expected the job seekers will have done a reasonable amount of research into the employers. Some basic information about an employer should be collected first before applying the organization's positions, including full name, locations, web site, business description, year established, revenues, number of employees, stock price if public, name of chief executive officer, major products or services, major competitors, strength as well as challenges.

    2.Networking:

    Contacting as many people as possible is a highly effective way to find a job. It is estimated that 60% or higher of all jobs are found through networking.[1] Job recruiters may use online social networking sites for this purpose

    3.Applying:

    One can also go and hand out résumés or Curriculum Vitae to prospective employers. Another recommended method of job hunting is cold calling or emailing companies that one desires to work for and inquire to whether there are any job vacancies.

    After finding a desirable job, they would then apply for the job by responding to the advertisement. This may mean applying through a website, emailing or mailing in a hard copy of your résumé to a prospective employer. It is generally recommended that résumés be brief, organized, concise, and targeted to the position being sought. With certain occupations, such as graphic design or writing, portfolios of a job seeker's previous work are essential and are evaluated as much, if not more than the person's résumé. In most other occupations, the résumé should focus on past accomplishments, expressed in terms as concretely as possible (e.g. number of people managed, amount of increased sales or improved customer satisfaction).


    So please never you give up.keep applying and one day it will be yours

    DONT YOU EVER STAY IDLE
