There are various ways to look for job postings. You can go with traditional methods such as looking for job fliers or going to a company to ask for any job openings. Other ways include searching online either by going to a company website and going to their career page or going to job search websites such as LinkedIn and Indeed.

​

Do networking

Networking has several benefits such as learning more about a company, gathering more information on potential job openings, and obtaining job referrals. You can do networking by being more active in social events and talking to other people or contacting employers through LinkedIn.

Apply for the jobs

Now that you have done all the necessary preparation, it's time for you to apply for the job. Be sure to double-check every document and information you submit to make sure there's no misinformation. You will usually receive news on your job application in 1-4 weeks.

Get ready for interviews

When you pass through the company resume screening, you will be invited for a job interview. Be sure to research and prepare how to answer questions by the interviewer, and brush up on your skills if you expect a skill assessment in the interview. Dress professionally for the interview and don't be late.
