Snippets: Job Interest Shouldn’t Be Your Main Priority

This is part of a series of articles to make your jobseeking experience more meaningful with JobStreet.com.

Due to current decreased job opportunities, especially entry-level positions, jobseekers should reconsider giving priority to their personal interests, when it comes to choosing a job. Of course, personal interest is important in determining what your eventual occupational direction will be, but if you’re striking out for the first time, it should be kept as your last priority, since entry-level jobseekers have no work experience. It’s always better to match your skills to your job, rather than matching your interest to the job.  If you have a few job opportunities at hand, then personal interest can be one of your options in helping you make your final choice. Otherwise, try not to place your personal interest as your main criterion for finding a job.

Be positive… It’s easy to feel down when you’ve sent out hundreds of applications and got nowhere. Remember, persistence wins the prize and we tend to get in life what we expect. Expect the best and you’re likely to get it. However, keep an open mind too. If you’re getting rejected all the time it could be that your CV, your application letter or your interview approach need work. Go through these with friends and/or professionals and get their feedback.

This is a valuable tip. Most people are so used to being told to "find a job that you love" and they forget that sometimes you have to accept a position in a company simply because it offers a paycheck. I am also in agreement with you when you say that this is especially true for first-time job-seekers. They cannot afford to be selective about the positions they choose. This is a very difficult economy and being able to find ANY job is a positive.

Great post. More people should think this way.
