Viral Video of Job Seekers Queueing Up to the Main Road, Illustrating the Difficulty of Finding Jobs

Dream - The challenge of finding a job never diminishes every year. Especially in times like now when many companies are forced to carry out layoffs. The effects of the pandemic and the sluggish global economy have made many employees victims.

The competition for jobs is also getting tighter because every year there will always be new job seekers who have just graduated and hope to be able to work immediately.

The large number of job seekers in Indonesia is revealed clearly in a viral video recently. The video footage shows a long queue of job seekers who are going to companies to take tests.

Although they have to squeeze in the scorching heat of the sun, job seekers are willing to queue.

"Stay spirited even though many will be disappointed," wrote the video caption on the Instagram post @viralsekali.

Not only crowded, in another video it can be seen a row of people queuing up to the main road.

4 Small Mistakes in Job Hunting

Dream - The interview call is the most exciting moment for job seekers. Especially if the call comes after waiting for weeks, even months.

But don't be happy yet, your status is still a candidate. Before thinking about what clothes to wear on the first day of work if accepted as a new employee, there is an important thing to emphasize: You are not the only selected candidate.

It is better to maintain your attitude after a job interview. Make sure not to do silly things during job hunting, especially during the interview stage. Instead of showcasing personal strengths, employers may feel ill-feel and certainly hopes of becoming an employee will vanish.

Here are four mistakes that job seekers often make as reported by CheatSheet, Friday, October 14, 2016.

Being Too Aggressive

Hold back excessive excitement. Being firm and aggressive are two different things and make sure these two attitudes are well understood. You may be enthusiastic about working in the company, but don't let the company label you as a stalker of HRD.

Take a deep breath. Remember, you are not the only one applying for the job and not the only one being interviewed by the company. Be patient. If you enter the top candidates, this step can be used for certainty, unless HRD gives time to wait. One important thing to remember is do not visit the company without notification. It's scary.

Not Following Up

This attitude is the opposite of the first one. Don't let yourself do nothing after the interview just because you don't want to disturb. It's okay to follow up, as long as it's reasonable.

How? Send a thank-you email to the company or a thank-you email to the interviewer. Send the thank-you email within 24 hours, it's better to send it on the same day.

But, remember, make sure the recipient's name and position are written correctly. Make sure there are no misspellings of names and titles.

Applying for Jobs in Only One Channel

Job vacancies are not only from job search sites. There are many ways to go. If you only rely on one method, the most likely thing is that the CV you send will end up in the trash. You can use your family, colleagues, or friends to find a job. Make sure you follow up on the vacancy.

Asking for Help from New Employees

When you hear a coworker getting a big offer at a leading company, of course, you might want to ask them to include you in that company. Don't. It can ruin their new career. Let them work there for a while. Unless, if they are your best friend and can get your CV through, that's even better.
