Finding a new job is always difficult, no matter how experienced you are and how much in demand your type of experience is. However, landing a great job is easier nowadays than it was just a few years ago – the economy is looking up, new businesses open every day and new jobs are created as well. Infrastructure jobs are on the rise, there are plenty of great road construction jobs in Colorado and other places too! If you still think you need a little help identifying suitable job openings and creating your applications, here are some tips:
- Make job search your job for a while – job seekers who spend at least 6 hours a day actively searching for a good job are more successful not only because they are able to identify more opportunities, but also because they are more committed to finding employment than those who spend only a few minutes a day visiting job boards.
- Set up multiple job board profiles – use as many online job boards as possible and take your time to make your profile as complete as possible.
- Create a relevant resume – make sure your resume highlights your experience and your skills and it is attractive for prospective employers.
- Tailor your cover letter – you don’t need to rewrite your cover letter completely each time you apply for a job, but make sure that you rephrase it to meet the specific requirements of the opening you are applying for.
