There are basic elements which have to do with getting and holding the right job, whether it be Federal, non-Federal, fulltime, or part-time. Authorities may differ slightly in the recommended techniques to be used in getting the job, depending on the person and the situation, but the basic elements remain. the same regardless of the circumstances. The following general suggestions will assist you in launching your second career. They are not intended as a "sure fire method"; however, they should prove helpful as a point from which to start. 118. How To Select the Right Job. It is generally accepted throughout industry and other areas where large numbers of people are employed that the selection of the right job and the performance of that job depends to a large extent upon the interests of the individual concerned. All persons do their best when engaged in work in which they are deeply interested. a. It is to the advantage of the employer as well as the employee to find out what those interests are and the only way it can be ascertained is with the full cooperation of the job seeker. If you don't determine your interests and make them known no one can be of much help to you in finding the job where you will produce your best work and be the most content. b. Your first step in deciding on the right job is to ask yourself three questions: (1) What kind of a job do I want? (3) How do I qualify for the job? Discuss your findings with your family and friends. Remember you are selecting your second career! c. Your next step is: (1) Write down a selection of several jobs in order of preference. 795-441 0-66-5 (2) Write down your assets and liabilities with relation to each. Don't be discouraged if gaps appear in your qualifications for the job you most desire, they may be filled with further training, education, or experience. It isn't always possible to get the perfect job for one's abilities without further training. You can, however, accept the one nearest your first choice, giving it your best, all the while preparing yourself by filling in the gaps which denied your first choice. The key to the first phase of launching your second career is to take stock of yourself. 119. How To Find the Job. In spite of the fact that you may have outstanding abilities and qualifications, the job will not come to you. You must make plans to find the job yourself. There are no short cuts and your success or failure will depend to a great extent upon your diligence and the amount of time you are willing to devote to the task of finding job leads. An excellent place to start is at the local office of the State Employment Service. Here you will be given free assistance and will be advised of any job opportunities in the local community. Your friends, relatives, neighbors, and even casual acquaintances will be helpful if they know you are sincere in helping yourself. Watch the "Want Ads" in newspapers and trade journals. If you belong to a union, club, or professional group, they will help you. Many communities have nonprofit employment agencies who will gladly give their assistance. 120. How To Get the Job: 59 a. When you have a lead on a job which interests you, preparations must be made for landing it. Without exception, whether the job be that of a file clerk, maintenance man, or chairman of the board, you can expect to be interviewed by an official of the firm. One should |
