approach works!

When approaching an organization directly, try researching on who the right person
might be that will be able to utilize your skills, the decision maker if possible.

Meet new people ie networking. This method will definitely increase your chances
of landing a job.
Approach employment agencies. -
Never ignore smaller organizations. They’re often more hungry for people than
bigger organizations. Be open to options.
- We often wonder how soon would I get a job? There is no guaranteed answer, however
the more effort you put into your search the greater the chances would be. Approach
as many employers, friends and colleagues as possible.
- If you are thinking about a change in your career path, always spend time to evaluate
your strengths, personality, values, interests, skills, knowledge and passion. With
this self-knowledge, it is the best way to deal with a new career direction.
- Finally never loose hope and faith. Never give up.
