When it comes to job market, some maintain that it is the most important for getting a job that let potential employers know about themselves while others say that there is no use for doing it because companies can find candidate's strong point with various document about him or her.
From my personal perspective, I am more inclined to the former rather than the latter. To me, it boils down to showing one's willing for the job; dragging influential people's attention.
To begin with, companies or employers are not able to differentiate which people have more vigorous admire for the job with just two-dimensional document. Of course, companies make an effort to estimate each candidate's ability and willing related to the job as detail as possible, however, there are too many people who want the spot for them to do precise valuation. From my personal experience, for showing my strong volition to get into the company as an internship, I sent e-mail often and my portfolio which contains my whole contents in university life and even I made a visit the firm by myself even though the company did not expect it. A staff of the company said that I did not have to come to the company directly and they already knew about me, however, he tried to find my resume and portfolio for reviewing one more time. After two months, I was able to participate in the internship program. In the place of orientation for takers the program, the staff recognized me and called me to the stage. And he introduced me to others as a person of the strongest will. I believe that the chance was from my active willing.
In addition to showing one's wiling, informing others of one’s forte can trigger influential people's attention. As well as you know, those kinds of person should meet lots of candidates and read a bunch of documents. Without powerful advertisement about oneself and constructive confirming employers’ knowledge about him or her with patience, it is not easy to draw their interesting. More powerful advertisements and confirmation, more enough chances one can have.
In conclusion, no one wants your silence. If you want to get a job, run and make sure! It is the best way to grab it. |
