There are three challenges to getting your dream career.The first is to write a winning resume.evalThe second is to wow the employer at the interview.The third is to have the confidence to succeed when you claim the job you love.Let’s start by thinking about the resume or CV.1. Writing A Winning ResumeUsually, before they even check your resume, they’ll have a look at your cover letter. Cover letters are quite tricky to write. But there’s an easy lesson, and if you learn it, you’ll always get that interview. Make the cover letter personal to you.A lot of people think that they can get away with copying a cover letter from online. They then just quickly change some of the information to make sure that it fits the job they want. You won’t get caught for plagiarism, but you also won’t get that interview. The truth is that there’s no step by step guide to writing a winning cover letter.Employers want something different, and you need to give it to them. Make sure your cover letter is focused on your goals, achievements and what you can offer.The CV again, doesn’t fit a perfect mold. You might think that you should limit your CV to one or two pages. But what about if you have a massive amount of experience in the desired area. If that’s the case, you might be better off keeping your CV long. You can dazzle them with the massive amount of experience that you already have. Similarly, you need to present a few USPs on your CV. Anything that makes you stand out from the crowds.2. Ace the InteviewevalThere’s an unwritten rule that an employer will know whether they’re going to hire someone in the first five minutes. We’d say this probably isn’t true. Instead, they’ll decide who they’re not going to hire i n the first five minutes. That’s why you must be confident and make a great first impression.Remember, you should ask questions about the job. Don’t be afraid to ask about pay as this is always going to be an important factor. If they state it in a way you don’t understand, you can check what your annual income will be with a wage calculator.Finally, always try to present a new idea for the company or business that could give them a fresh perspective. This is sure to impress your employer.3. Confidence is KeyLastly, if everything goes smoothly, you’ll be offered the job, and you should accept. But don’t just assume you’ve secured your dream job. For the first few months, you will probably be hired on a trial basis. You’ll have to massively impress your employer if you want to keep the job. In this instance, confidence is key. Believe that you can handle the tasks at hand, and you will succeed.Photo Credit â€" Flickr
