Learning the steps to getting a job is one thing, knowing the steps to getting your dream job is another thing entirely. Working is a great thing, the Almighty designed us to work, if not he would have made food fall from the skies and the rivers flow with milk, honey, chocolate, champagne, wine and so on! So we would not have to do anything but eat and drink when we felt like it. According to research, people die faster when they retire and have nothing else to look forward to than when they are busy at work, learning new ways to surmount challenges.

There are so many people who simply loathe their jobs and would even consider going on welfare in order to avoid setting one foot at their current place of work – such people simply have a job, period.

And then, there are few people who cannot get enough of their job! They strongly believe that their very existence is dependent on the job they do – such people are fortunate to be working in the line of business that they enjoy doing. 

You need to understand the steps to getting your dream job so that you can look forward to going to work and not hiding under the covers of your bed!

Step One – Get The Right Qualifications! 

This is the first of the most important steps to getting your dream job. You will need to put in the time to getting the right qualifications. You may need to spend a couple of months or even years in order to earn your certification. Some line of work will require you to get professional training or apprenticeship. When you are professionally trained, you will be able to land your dream job faster than someone who is self taught.

Step Two – Know the Industry 

If you want to work with the most reputable fashion house in the industry, you will need to know everything about the industry (this includes the people in the industry) and how you want to fit in. Do you want to be an innovator or you want to simply improve on what has already been done.

Step Three – Use the Internet 

The internet has lots and lots of website where you can conduct your search for the specific type of jobs you want. Once you open an account, you will be sent job notifications. You can set your phone to receive mail messages as soon as a job posting has been uploaded that meets your requirements.

Step Four – Be Impressive when You Go for an Interview

This is perhaps one of the most overlooked steps to getting your dream job. Here are ways you can impress hiring managers: 

• Dress well and be well groomed 
• Speak clearly
• Be confident
• Watch your body language
• Know everything about the company you are interviewing with
• Never play the victim – do not talk about your past misfortunes, this will only put off the hiring manager and make him/her view you as a bad voodoo for the company. 
• Be polite – do not forget to say your “please“ and “thank you’s”

It is always better to follow steps to getting your dream job and not just steps to getting a job.
