Getting a job in our present day has proven to be hectic and almost impossible to many, but yet job vacancies are being published every day by different establishment. The question to be asked is this; with all these job vacancies being published, why are people still saying that there are no jobs available? This issue of job scarcity has being a worldwide predicament that every nation has to deal with. One of the factors is that the number of ready-to-work individual and graduates seeking for job seriously outweigh the available job, this is why it's important for you to stand out from the other applicant.

The traditional job recruitment process takes 4 stages. The first stage is finding the job vacancy, second stage involve sending your application, third stage is the interview and the last stage is getting the job. We noticed most people are unable to make it to stage third, which is the interview. Recruiters/employer screen through thousands of CV to pick a selected few to be invited for an interview, so if your application is not good enough, you won't be invited and therefore halting your chance to get the job.

You can increase your chance of getting a job interview by applying simple methods that have proven helpful to those who have gotten a job.
