Five Rules Every Job Seeker Needs to Break

Job hunting has become a horrible process these days. Sitting in front of computer all day, filling screen after screen details, uploading resume and then not getting any reply in eternity. There are so many fake recruitment portals, which take the benefit to lure the jobless person, tell him that his profile has been shortlisted, show him dreams of a decent paying job and loot hard earned money from that cash-strapped poor chap. The poor fellow gets trapped in their sweet sounding words and grows poorer by parting his tough money. You need to revise your resume, pay Rs. 4999. You need to make a portfolio, pay Rs. 15000. You need to update your linkedin profile, pay Rs.6000. You need to get job referrel service, pay Rs. 4000 for six months and blah blah blah.

Is this he has earned in his whole life career, developing his skills that he has to beg the recruiter for his skills? It should be a win-win situation. Then why the need for begging? We need to stop such systems which are harassing an already broken person.

We need to break these five rules while searching for a job.

Leaders are born, not created.

Leadership is the art of getting target work done from your team.

In Peter Drucker's words, " Management is doing things right, Leadership is doing right things." 

A leader lives to lead. A good leader doesn't take credit of the job, but passes to his team. He sets direction for his team to create new marvels.

A good leader always invests time in his personal development. He creates inspiring vision of the future, motivates and inspires people to engage with that vision, coaches and builds the team to enable the delivery of the vision.

Formal Education Vs. Self Education

Formal Education will make you a living. Self Education will make you a fortune.

-Jim Rohn

This quote holds true. The life begins, when schooling ends. While Formal Education is necessary, Self  Education is must. Self education applies potential difference of knowledge across the brain, from where positive thoughts sprout out.

So read good books to develop new hobbies and skills. You must develop insatiable attraction for self development.

Self Learning is not at all easy. It needs a lot of motivation and discipline.

If you have that fire, there are a lot of free good sites, from where you can educate yourself. Some of them are Coursera, Khan Academy, Open Courseware, Alison, MIT Opencourseware to name a few.

Rushing through life.

We run non-stop throughout the clock, constantly planning, scheduling & multi-tasking our jobs. Still we feel that the time is not enough.

Difference between Curriculum Vitae (CV) & Resume

A Curriculum Vitae (CV) is a summary of  a job applicant's professional experience and educational background, along with other relevant information regarding the candidate's qualifications.

The major difference between Curriculum Vitae and Resume is that:

Curriculum Vitae is an in-depth document that can be laid out over two or more pages and it contains high level of detail for your achievements. Normally it is a static document and doesn't change for different positions.
Resume is a concise document presented in a single page, focusing on the skills needed for the specific post. So the applicant has to tailor-make the document according to the job requirements.
