For example, if the company is in finance then having a background of architecture will be of no use, therefore, one should be sure of the standards and requirements of the company.
2. Don’t jump over to the conclusion:
It often happens with the newbie, when they start their career and get rejected initially they easily get discouraged of not getting the desired job what they hoped for. When they realize that it is tougher than what they had realized then they take any job offer that comes their way even though if it is the worse job in the world.
The newbie will take advantage if they don’t keep options and just accept the offer without checking out other opportunities. Try searching biography about the people who have had successful stories and careers because they are an inspiration for newbies.
3. Recruiters Online site:
Many online sites coming on which offers the employer to employ job and opportunities for the experience, freshers, learned people. These sites help in building up the contacts of the recruiters and interested employers.

The candidate should find a job which is full time instead of part time job but if the person is acquiring studies then part time is exceptional but someone who has a free time should go for a full time job because one day it’s going to pay off fully.
The person who has an experience of being a full time employee will be more preferred instead of the person who has worked for a part time job who will not have much knowledge and experience compared to full time employee.
6. Dedicate yourself during a search job:

The compact letter always appreciates and the candidate has a lot of chances of getting a lot of options from everyone for the job. A lengthy resume will be neglected because the employer itself won’t have so much time to read everything thus a compact letter will be much appreciated and that candidate will get a lot of opportunities from many employers and thus creating a lot of options.
The resume should be perfect and should not have any flaws because that is the first thing that leaves an impression on the recruiters and the employer.
8. Build up Skills and Personality:
During the interview the employer looks up for the personality the candidate carries and if the personality is not up to the expectation that the candidate will be rejected there itself.
A smart personality will always be a character to look up to but a very dull character will even demotivate the others who are around him/her. Therefore one should join some personality development classes and also do some courses to specialize their skills so that it fits the job requirement perfectly.
9. Take it as a learning experience:
The person should always take this as a learning experience. If one gets rejected there must be a reason to get rejected, therefore one should find it out by themselves, work on it and acquire the skills which are needed and again go for a job hunt.
One will never understand it until faced with such a situation. If the candidate will give a job easily then the whole system will turn upside down by not knowing the seriousness and not have that passion to complete the task.
10. Self confidence:
The candidate should have self confidence because without it a person can never achieve what he desires for. In this generation, one has to fight for what they want and while searching there a lot of other candidates which want that position, therefore, it is a race and also a fight to rise to the top.
It is not an easy job to do without self believe therefore one should have self confidence by believing in oneself and then a tough task can be an easy task which has to be completed. Self confidence is a booster for a candidate to reach the sky.
11. Knowledge, Skills growth:

To be at the top the candidate should have an up to date knowledge about everything because if the employer comes up with anything about the new trend in the economy then the candidate shouldn’t be left confused.
12. Never overdo or exaggerate a situation:
The candidate over exaggerates when he /she did not prepare for the job. Then if the candidate wants the job so desperately so that there might be a chance of faking the skills and knowledge so that the employee impressed and gives the job opportunity but that is not at of acquiring the job.
Later it might be very difficult to understand the things which are not familiar and lied about. It will be such a situation that the candidate will fire from the job or will ask to resign.
13. Carry the Gentlemen character in you:
Everyone loves a gentleman, especially a lady, and that might gives you a job, but it happens rarely in sometimes. Carrying that personality of being polite, kind, respectful, caring character will impress the recruiter and will keep you on the first list of getting chosen by the employer for the higher position.
A perfect personality will always lay a perfect impression so make sure that the gentlemen character should leave inside alive so that the people will love to have you around.
14. Complete all the application requirements:
Before applying for a job one should see whether that job will fit you rightly or more skills and experience need for that job. If the job profile perfectly fits you then no worries but before applying one should read all about the company history, terms, and conditions, documents required, etc.
It will be a very awkward and embarrassing situation if the candidate leaves an important document at home. Therefore one should be very careful about all the requirements and that should be duly filled.
15. Make Contacts:
If your colleagues have already a job then it is better to keep such friends closure because they will be having a lot of depth knowledge about this and also they will be having the recruiter contact number.
Why not keep contacts which will help greatly in such matters. Keeping contacts will not only provide the recruiters’ details but also the market scenario which is going on. Friends may sometimes have good references instead of the recruiters, therefore, it is better to have friends with better contacts.

Also, practice will be a tedious duty but in the end, it will pay off and it won’t be a situation where one has to struggle entire life to search the job. It’s better to keep the bar raise always higher so that the career can be lifting off smoothly and higher.
17. Internship:
An internship is the latest hack of getting the perfect job. Getting an internship in a higher reputed company will give a higher chance of getting the desired job and not leaving or sacrificing on anything. The internship is more of a learning process instead of fulfilling a duty. The internship act as a course where a person learns to do day to day activities of the office, therefore it is more of a learning process than working experience.
18. Freelancer:
Starting a venture by being a freelancer is a very good idea because then that person starts being independent and starts taking responsibility for his own mistakes and not blame anyone. This promotes being independent and making a wise business choice.
A person becomes business minded when they join as a freelancer. Once they have gained all the confidence and the skill, then it will be a great thing to show on the resume and also have official business contacts to keep such people in the loop, so that in future one can come with his own business.
Searching may not be easy, but learning different techniques to get the perfect job is available as an option. As the world getting modernize the recruitment selection techniques are also getting quite difficult.
Before qualification was the only priority but now skills, personality, body language, and other factors need for job profiling. Therefore one should learn different techniques and skills to get a higher chance of getting job opportunities.
Never give up on the first try instead rise once again and practice the law of gaining all the knowledge to acquire the desired job.
