1.
Make sure your dream job is achievable
You need to ensure that your dream job is a realistic target.
Ambition and drive are imperative to gaining your ideal position
but it must be something that is achievable and that you have
the capacity to learn or study for.
Get the qualifications you need to do the job
Making sure that you have the relevant qualifications or skills
necessary for your dream job is key. In many areas, you will be
unable to progress without specific credentials, so find out what
you need and hit the books!
3. Dress to impress at interview
The care you take in looking after your appearance can say
a lot about your approach to work; tidily dressed, tidy in the
workplace.
Research thoroughly
Whether this is about the job role itself or a company that you’re
interested in working for: knowing the details and proving that
you fit the bill is essential in any interview.
5. Ask yourself “Why do I want this job?”
If the answer is "the money" or "it seems easy" – then you
need to think again. It is imperative to find something you’re
interested in for the right reasons; and if it pays well too then
that’s a bonus!
