Dress well when you go on an interview. The best advice is to 'dress as a boss'. Go in dressed as if you are the boss of the person in the position you want. This can be a great way to stand apart from the pack in any interview setting, and shows you are serious about the job.

 

Apply to fewer jobs during the course of your journey. This means that you should not apply in bulk to random jobs that you do not fit but pinpoint the ones that you do and focus on those. This will give you the ability to maximize your chance at getting a job that suits you.

 

Use social media to build and define your online presence. More employers are starting to factor in candidates' public profiles on the most popular sites, which include Facebook and Twitter. Update your privacy settings to ensure that any questionable images, updates and links are not visible to people outside of your network. Do not forget to change visibility settings for photos that have been posted by your friends.

 

A great tip for any job is to have perfect attendance. When companies are looking to lay off workers they often times look at attendance. They'd rather not pay benefits to the no-shows, so they will be first to go. By showing up every day you protect your own wallet in the long run.

 

If you are confused as to what you should wear on your interview, always error on the side of caution. This means that you should always dress to impress, with professional attire. Not only will you look more presentable, but you will feel more in tune and confident when you meet your interviewer.

 

Take good care of yourself so that you remain as healthy as possible. People that use all of their sick days are frowned upon and are usually passed up when it comes to promotions. Take control of the situation by eating a well-balanced diet and using proper hygiene. Your career depends on it.

 

When searching for jobs, open your options when it comes to job titles. Look online to see what other titles are like the one you want. Knowing the different titles to look for could open up doors that you did not know about.

 

Everyone seeking a job should have a professional email address. Understand that this email address is one of the first impressions that an employer has of you. Choose a simple address featuring at least your last name. Don't fail to get the job you want because of your email address.
