DESCRIPTION

This is a short presentation on Job applications directed at job seekers and graduates looking to move forward in their career. Applying for a job isn't easy, but if you follow a few key pointers it can improve your chances for success

TRANSCRIPT

So you’re applying for your

Dream Job.

Kudos, choosing a job is not as easy as it seems:

Marketing

Skydiving Lion Tamer

Finance

This could be you!

Now it’s time to apply.

This doesn’t work. (And it’s creepy…)

Make your checklist:

CV

Cover Letter (if required)

Voodoo Doll for Good Luck.

Also creepy.

89% of CV’s

have errors

Spellcheck doesn’t catch them all.

Is it tailored

to this job?

Check it before it goes out !

Does your Cover Letter address the person by

name?

It probably won’t be read if it doesn’t.

Lastly, why do you want the job?

Because they’ll ask, and you’d better have a good answer…

Or else.

Ok, so probably not that. But it’s your dream job. Don’t screw it up now.
