Job hunting is among the toughest 'jobs' there are! Some people finish their educations and go into business for themselves. However, most people finish their educations and begin the search for their first 'real' job. If you are going to work for an employer, there are three key steps to follow to find a good job. The steps might seem obvious, but a surprising number of people overlook these basics.

First, know what you want to do. There are times when you may have to settle for a job to make ends meet; but know what you love and know what you're eventually looking to do. The clarity of your intentions will help focus your job search. Employers always want to know that you have goals, even if they also know that means you will move on from them someday. Having goals and dreams doesn't make you less desirable for employers - they prefer to employ self-motivated people with goals and plans.

Once you're clear about the kind of work you'd like to find, you need a compelling resume. Resume services can cost from $150 to $1,000. Who you'll hire within that price range depends on what sort of jobs you're going after. How much to pay for a resume service depends on your expected return on investment. If the resume is meant to help you land a job with an annual salary of $100,000, then an investment of $1,000 might be considered reasonable. You can get the best quality in your chosen price range by getting recommendations from people you know. If they refer you to someone in particular, hire them. But if you can't get a referral, then be sure that whoever you hire is a member of the Professional Association of Resume Writers (PARW) or some other association. Membership binds the associates to a code of ethics. An alternative is to choose someone using SquareTrade or that sort of seal of professionalism. Through this type of company you have some protection; they offer dispute resolution services, for example.

Last, is the interview. Be thoroughly prepared. Learn as much as you can about the company and the position for which you're interviewing so that you can speak intelligently with your potential employers about their business. Dress for success - it's a cliche because it is true. Pay attention to your interview clothing because it will create the first impression the interviewer makes of you. Also, your preparations include being courteous and friendly toward the secretary or whoever was your contact person during the process of making and keeping your interview appointment. The impression you create with everyone you contact could precede you, even if they don't officially determine who gets the job. If you've made these preparations well, then go in to your interview confidently. You've done your homework so you can speak intelligently and convince the potential employer that you are exactly the right person for this job!

Follow these three steps right from the start and you will find work that not only enables you to pay your bills but sets you on the path toward the job of your dreams. You have established your goals before applying, and you know precisely where you're heading. Best luck to you in landing your first great job!
