While internet makes HR’s job posting easier, the competition in the job market becomes fiercer. A thousand candidates may be applying for only one job vacancy. Here are the tips for your job application success.

 

1. Submit as many resumes as     possible.
      In a fierce competition, you are not allowed to get what
      you need. The HR officers, in fact, will decide if they
      want you or not. Therefore, follow the rule number one
     –submitting as many resumes as possible. Do not limit       your choices since you may have not so many choices.
      On the contrary, the employers make choices and you
      may not be their best choices. So, open your mind to
      increase you employment opportunities. You have
      much time to think about what you actually want when       you are called for a job interview.

 

2. Create your best resume.
       In the job application process, resumes (your own
       profile) are the most important factor. The employers get
       to know you through your resume. They screen you from
       your self-presentation in your own resume. If you fail to        present yourself the best, you miss the chance. Most        importantly, do not forget that you are in a fierce
       competition. Fight with them with your best resume.
       Take time to prepare all the details in there. Provide your
       potential employers with all the information about you.
       You have nothing to lose in your resume preparation.
       Someone spends a few weeks to create his best
       resume  while some lazy people ignore this process and
       finally feel sorry when being turned down by a good
       company. Create your best resume carefully and
       seriously to leave a thousand of jobseekers behind.


3. Use many job search engines
       Do not use only one job search engine. Increase your        employment opportunities through many search
       engines.



4. Review your practices in 1-3
    
4.1 Review your resume
     4.2  Review whether your qualifications meet the HR officers’ requirements or not. Do not follow your need if you are not qualified
              enough. Remember that it takes time to be successful in your career path. You may need to learn from work in a lower position
              first.
     4.3  Never ask for too-high salary. Your salary must be in at the market rate, not upon your request. Your salary requirement may put
              you behind other candidates.


5. Write your resume in English
       To attract HR officers’ attention, your resume should be in English. Jobtopgun’s Super Resume is an English format of resumes that
       can be created easily by following the Thai instructions, notwithstanding your poor English language skill.


6. Check your e-mail box frequently.
       Check your e-mail box to get messages of job interview appointment. Today a number of employers opt to contact qualified job
       applicants by e-mail.


7. Contact HR officers immediately for job interview cancellation
       In case you change your mind, cancel your job interview appointment with HR officers before being put in the blacklist of a company
       or, probably, the group of companies sharing their blacklists with one another.
