No matter how good your CV is, it is not the answer to all job-hunting huddles. As much as you work on your CV and make sure that it gets you an interview, you must consider the following factors as well:

1. Your skill set might not be in demand in the job market. The jobs available might not be related to the skills you possess. There might be skills mismatch with the jobs that are available in the job market.

2. The method that you use to apply might be the reason why you are not getting a job faster. If you only depend on the vacancies that are advertised online, the likelihood of getting a job slimmer because there’s high competition competing for few available jobs.

3. How you handle your interviews might also be a huddle in getting a job faster. Employers hire people they think they can work with easily, people who can impress them in the first few minutes of the interview.

4. Your references have to be people who will be able to speak positively about your skills and abilities. If they don’t know much about you, they might not be convincing in motivating your application.

What do you think of these pointers? Do you agree or disagree?

How to grow your career faster as a young professional

1. Treat your early career as an ongoing learning experience.
Develop a growth mindset by viewing every task, even the mundane ones as an opportunity to learn and upskill. Focus on mastering your core skills.

If you want to grow your career faster, within the first 2 years in a role, build your core skills and start thinking of moving to the next level of your career ladder.

Keep a list of your achievements and positive outcomes, to build your career portfolio.

2. Build genuine mutually beneficial relationships
Don’t look at your networks and contacts as just mere networks. Rather build genuine, mutually beneficial relationships across your industry who will be helpful in your career growth.

3. Find mentors and seek genuine constructive feedback from them.
Get experienced professionals in your industry who can offer you guidance, answer industry specific questions, and help you navigate challenges in the industry. You can use LinkedIn to find them.

Have you considered doing this, or at least some of these points, in building your career?

Most people are in jobs that are not satisfying to them. They are just in those jobs for survival, and this is what a mere job is as compared to a dream job:

- A mere job is about survival, while a dream job is about fulfilment.
- A mere job often provides little personal satisfaction. It has no sense of purpose beyond pay-check.
- The tasks in a mere job feel monotonous, tedious etc.
- In a mere job, motivation is external. Most people in mere jobs get motivated by salary, benefits and other necessities.
- When you are in a mere job, the job is unrelated to your interests, talents and values.

Does this sound familiar?

Do you also feel the above about your current job?

Why Interviewers ask questions like these

“Walk us through a process of doing something”
“Take us through a process of doing something”

For example, if you have applied for a filing Clerk position, and you get asked this question “Walk us through a process of opening a file”

This is what the interviewer is looking for:

1. The interviewer wants to check if there’s a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) that you are aware of, or know of, for opening files. A Standard Operating Procedure is a Step -by-Step instruction that explains how something is done.

2. They want to check if you have hard/technical skills that you learned at university, that you can apply to this job. They want to check if you can apply the theory that you learned to this job.

3. They want to check if there are methodologies that exist in doing these kinds of jobs. For example, in technical jobs like Operations, Engineering, Manufacturing, Project Management etc. methodologies exist to do those jobs.
