However, in this day and age, maybe you don't even know how to get a job. This guide will help you to learn the basics of getting a job, so once and for all we can follow in the footsteps of JC Denton.

Finding A Job


The first and arguably most important step in getting a job is finding one suitable to your qualifications and interests. Using various online resources such as job postings and company websites, you can find detailed descriptions of the jobs as well as all the necessary qualifications.

NOTE: Avoid applying for jobs you do not qualify for. You likely won't get a job in software development if you can't program.

Once you have found positions you are interested in and qualify for, you can move on to the next step.
Applying For Positions


After finding open positions you qualify for, you want to actually apply for them.
Nowadays, a lot of companies utilize online applications. A lot of the time these online applications are relatively simple to use. They have the formatting set up, so you just need to input your information.

Along with this application, you also want to submit a copy of your resume along with a cover letter (if the application permits). These are useful ways to get the attention of a potential employer.

Another good way to get the attention of an employer after applying is to follow up. For some employers it is possible to follow up in person and let them know you've applied, but for others a phone call will suffice.
The Interview Process


Congratulations, if you're reading this far, then you have likely been offered to interview for a position face-to-face. Great job! Now comes the most important step in getting a job.

The interview process allows for an employer to see how you conduct yourself, act in person, and in some positions it allows them to test your abilities. As interviews really vary across fields, I can only give you some barebones advice. However, it is still very important across all fields to:
  1. Dress professionally.
  2. Arrive on time.
  3. Show confidence.
  4. Come prepared. Bring a copy of your resume and practice beforehand.
While showing confidence does help during an interview, make sure not to be overconfident. Remaining respectful, kind, and courteous is a necessity in any job-related scenario.
Follow Up


After the interview has concluded, make sure to follow up yet again! You have passed all of the most difficult hurdles needed to get a job, and following up is a great way to catch an employer's attention a second time. Make sure to thank the interviewer/employer for their time and for the opportunity.

Best of luck in finding a job!

Worse thing is when you have a job you no longer have time to do your hobbies, like playing video games, so life sucks even more balls, but at least you can take a girl our for a drink or a meal...despite also not having time to even meet with other people as your entire lifes time is drained by working a job you hate.

Thank yo for your sound advice much needed in this world. I failed to follow all steps because during the interview I showed up a bit late, sounded completely unhinged and was somewhat disrespectful to the VP in the Nexus. Yet, I still landed the J word. How do I improve in bombing the interview more spectacularly?
