1. Focus on Interviews, Not Just Applications: You know, when we’re job searching we should really focus on how many interviews we attended instead of how many jobs we applied on job portals. Meeting the hiring managers is the most important step in the job search process
2. Visit Companies Directly: If you see a job opening on Naukri or LinkedIn, why not go directly to the company if it’s nearby? It can really make a difference when you meet face-to-face.
3. Choose the Right Time: The best time to meet HR is usually after 4 PM. That’s when they’re less busy and might have more time to chat with you.
4. Carry a Good Resume: Always take a nice, professional resume with you. You should be ready to talk about your skills confidently when you meet them.
5. Don’t Fear Rejections: If you get rejected, don’t worry about it. The more direct rejections you face, the closer you are to getting a job offer. It’s all part of the process!
“Think of it like a swing. When you pull a swing back, the more you pull, the higher it goes to the other side. It’s the same with rejections and success. The more rejections you face, the closer you get to success. Each ‘no’ is just pushing you towards a ‘yes’ that is coming soon. So don’t feel bad about rejections; they’re actually taking you closer to your goal.”
6.Visit Multiple Companies Nearby: Take 4-5 resume copies along with you. Don’t just stop at one company. If you are out looking for jobs, visit a few nearby ones. It increases your chances of finding something good.
7. Stay Persistent: Sometimes, companies won’t let you meet HR right away, security won’t allow you inside, and reception will say HR is busy come tomorrow, but that’s okay. Keep trying! Your effort will make you stand out from the other candidates who apply for the same job
8. Show Initiative: Showing up in person really shows you’re serious about the job. HR people appreciate that kind of effort.
Don’t think you’re disturbing HR by visiting directly. Actually, you’re helping HR by saving them time in the hiring process. They don’t have to go through so many applications, make calls, and arrange interviews. When the right person with the right skills comes to meet them, they feel happy because their work gets easier.
9. Don’t Depend Only on Job Portals: Job portals are helpful, but don’t rely on them alone. Meeting someone directly can help you get noticed much faster.
10. Stay Confident and Don’t Give Up: Job searching can be tough, but remember that every step you take brings you closer to finding the right job. Just keep going and stay positive!
