How To Get A Job

Monkeem 님이 작성

One of the most memorable quotes from Deus Ex is when JC Denton simply mentions the phrase, "maybe you should try getting a job."
However, in this day and age, maybe you don't even know how to get a job. This guide will help you to learn the basics of getting a job, so once and for all we can follow in the footsteps of JC Denton.

Finding A Job

Applying For Positions

The Interview Process

Follow Up

Finding A Job

The first and arguably most important step in getting a job is finding one suitable to your qualifications and interests. Using various online resources such as job postings and company websites, you can find detailed descriptions of the jobs as well as all the necessary qualifications.

NOTE: Avoid applying for jobs you do not qualify for. You likely won't get a job in software development if you can't program.

Once you have found positions you are interested in and qualify for, you can move on to the next step.

Applying For Positions

After finding open positions you qualify for, you want to actually apply for them.
Nowadays, a lot of companies utilize online applications. A lot of the time these online applications are relatively simple to use. They have the formatting set up, so you just need to input your information.

Along with this application, you also want to submit a copy of your resume along with a cover letter (if the application permits). These are useful ways to get the attention of a potential employer.

Another good way to get the attention of an employer after applying is to follow up. For some employers it is possible to follow up in person and let them know you've applied, but for others a phone call will suffice.

The Interview Process

Congratulations, if you're reading this far, then you have likely been offered to interview for a position face-to-face. Great job! Now comes the most important step in getting a job.

The interview process allows for an employer to see how you conduct yourself, act in person, and in some positions it allows them to test your abilities. As interviews really vary across fields, I can only give you some barebones advice. However, it is still very important across all fields to:

Dress professionally.
Arrive on time.
Show confidence.
Come prepared. Bring a copy of your resume and practice beforehand.

While showing confidence does help during an interview, make sure not to be overconfident. Remaining respectful, kind, and courteous is a necessity in any job-related scenario.

Follow Up

After the interview has concluded, make sure to follow up yet again! You have passed all of the most difficult hurdles needed to get a job, and following up is a great way to catch an employer's attention a second time. Make sure to thank the interviewer/employer for their time and for the opportunity.

Best of luck in finding a job!

@Dinosaur This isn't always true, as sometimes they'll test you for them. A lot of jobs in programming have the interviewer ask you to code something, only because they want to see how you tackle the problem; if you claim to be qualified in C (easy to learn in about a week, won't hurt if you already know some other language) and then they ask you to code something in C, you're SOL.

Plus, if something is so simple you can get the qual in a week's time, you might as well just go out and get it. Even if you don't get the job, having lots of little qualifications is really good for any résumé. To continue with the programming hypothetical, a company is more likely to hire someone who provably knows a lot of languages than someone who only knows the one they're hiring for.

you can claim to have qualifications you don't have as long as you aren't going to hurt anyone and you are reasonably sure you can learn the basics in about a week's time

Thank you for this. I finally got a job and now I can afford a new gaming PC to run my favorite games from 1995 to 2005

online job apps are gay, they'd hire me if they met me in person first

This guide is so good, I traveled back in time and helped me get a paid apprenticeship as a software developer. But on the more serious side... PROTIP: If you need to do a task and there is another person / other people there who need to do the same even though there is only one position, don't believe your employer if he/she says that it's not a competition. It definitely is. Unfortunately the other guy didn't get that and genuinely believed my employer...

This is a genuinely good explanation so, I would also like to add, in your cover letter sell yourself. It can feel like you're being cocky or bragging so get a friend or family to review it to make sure you don't go too hard on it. But if you don't sell yourself, they won't know why they should hire you.

And specifically in terms of software kind of space qualifications don't need to always be uni or the like, currently I am a data engineer and I didn't finish school. But I code for fun so I was hired into a low level data role from a taking phone calls role and I moved up from there.
