Whether you're a financial advisor or someone who just graduated college with a medical degree, it is incredibly important that you know what is involved during the hunt.

One of the first things to prepare yourself for is the creation ofa professional cover letter and resume.
![Page 9: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Your cover letter and resume will be the first things that your potential employer is going to see regarding your abilities and skills.
![Page 10: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Employers often do not see their potential employees until they contact them for an interview.
Because of this, you need to have a great resume that outlines yourself, your skills, your education and your job history.
![Page 11: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Creating a resume can actually be quite simple because there are many pre-made templates available online for you to follow.

Just download a few of these templates and customize them to fit your own individual needs.

▪ Make sure that you proofread the resume several times to catch any mistakes that you might have made.
▪ There is absolutely nothing worse than having spelling errors on your resume that your potential employer will see. This mistake will most likely cost you the interview.

Getting Out andLooking for a Job
![Page 15: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Once your resume is completely finished, you will need to begin the job hunt for yourself.
You can do this in a variety of different ways, so make sure that you keep your options open.
![Page 16: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
One way to search for jobs is by looking online at job sites like Jobing.com, Monster.com and Indeed.com.
![Page 17: One deadly mistake most job hunters make](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020202/57906d421a28ab68748f377e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
You will want to either email or fax your resume to these job listings so that you can see if you get a call back.

Another major problem that job hunters make is that they rely on one or two job listings to call them back.

Even with the absolute best degree and experience behind you, you should never assume that you're going to be hired right off the bat.

The problem that most people have concerning hunting for a new job is that they do not know what goes into it.
