We live in unprecedented times where businesses are under extreme pressure from economic upheavals, evolving technologies, workforce challenges, and changing regulations, all significantly impacting operations.
Hiring managers are always on the lookout for young and talented individuals who have the drive to learn more about their chosen fields and get hands-on experience working there.
This means that students and fresh graduates can easily land jobs in their desired industries as long as they can demonstrate their dedication and skill set. However, these newcomers might need time to polish and hone their skills to work towards a lifelong career successfully.
When applying for a position, a cover letter should almost always be added in addition to sending out a resume. The cover letter serves a few purposes. First, it helps you focus the attention of hiring managers so they can see exactly how you fit into a certain position and work environment. Second, it might be the only way they are able to judge your communication skills. Your writing skills are on display, and the way you logically tie ideas together is also on show.

In this article, we will cover exactly this and then teach you how to construct a resume from scratch, so that you increase your chances of landing that important interview. Here are 10 steps to follow when you want to write that eye-catching resume:
An interview is an intense and artificial way of measuring whether you will be a good fit for a role. Until another method is developed, it is important to learn how to play this game. My first interview was secured through a friend who had an office suite on the same floor as an Accountant. The interview lasted about half an hour. Part of the interview included the Accountant asking me to write a sentence so he could determine how legible my handwriting was. How interviews have changed!
When I ask people what their job search strategies are, they usually respond that they are registered with or are searching for roles on SEEK.com.
