5 Steps to Finding a New Job in 2015!

Set Long and Short Term Career Goals:

The most successful job seekers develop a long-term career path. Take the time to determine where you want to be, professionally, in 5-10 years. From there you will be better positioned to know what small steps you need to take to get there.

Build Your Resume:

Your resume is a living document. Keep your long-term career goals in mind and take on projects and positions that will help move your closer to achieving those goals. As you learn new skills or take on more responsibilities be sure to add them to your resume.

Develop Your Professional Network:

To tap into the hidden job market it is important to have good connections. Using social media to build a network is one way to do it – but it in no way replaces getting out in your community and meeting people. Volunteer and be active!

Use Your Resources Wisely:

There are countless resources available to support your job search. Know what they are and how they can best support you. To get the best results you will want to use a variety of resources including staffing firms, job boards and community programs.

Interview With Confidence:

Take the time to research the company, their goals and their culture. This will allow you to ask good questions and be able to speak about how you can best support the organization. Being prepared will demonstrate you genuine interest in the position and their business.

April Clark, Manpower Maine President, said, “The team at Manpower believes it is important to send well wishes to those that protect and serve our country.” Clark added, “We are grateful for the sacrifices that our dedicated service members make for our country, this is one simple way for people in Maine to show their gratitude. This year we were thrilled to have participation from several local organizations, like Nokomis Regional High School.”

“To me, being a Veteran, seeing people take time to do this for our troops is so heartwarming,” said John McKim, JROTC Instructor, Nokomis Regional High School. “As for my school, we will gladly participate again.”

According to Manpower Maine’s President, “We put the call out to the community in November and were inspired by the response – it is a testament to the heart of Maine when people stop and take time out of their busy lives to do something that will mean so much to someone else.
