dress up and know something about the company wait for the question before you talk; dont rattle on and on about yourself be brief and tell why you want the job and what you can do for the company ; dont ask the salary they will make an offer later

I’ve worked in human resources for a few years now. I suggest that you take a resume with you to every job you apply for! Also, when filling out the applications do NOT leave a single question blank. If the question does not apply to you just write N/A. NEVER answer a question with see resume either.
Another point to remember is that if you are looking for a full time job you should spend 8 hours a day out looking for one. (40 hours a week, preparing your resume and filling out applications!)
The above answer is incorrect!!!!! If you have questions about salary, ASK THEM. If it isn’t something you would be willing to get paid, DO NOT waste your time or theirs. Some pay is negotiable, but not all, and not often.

First, you need to organize a plan of action. Check for job openings and postings via the Internet, local web pages, local classifieds, local Workforce Commission(Federal Unemployment office). Prepare Resumes, cover letters, reference sheets, Thank You cards, etc.,. Contact friends, family, and all open job ads, and make follow up inquiries, as needed. The last tip, I give to you and me, is do not get discouraged, you are not the only one looking, and your turn, and mine, will come.

The most important thing to remember about job searches is that you should use a combination of methods regardless of your location.

Networking - Register at your local Unemployment Office (you don’t need to be on unemployment to register for their assistance). They often will have networking groups on a regular basis. They also are a good source for the jobs that never show up in the paper or online.

Check your local paper — In many cases the paper’s classified are now online.

Search Smart Online — If you don’t have a lot of time, spend most of your time at sites that aggregate the job feeds from several job search engines. Prominently these include indeed.com and thingamajob.com.

Organization — I am the lead developer of a free online application that allows you to track your ads, jobs you apply for, send or print mail merged correspondence, and track your job search history. This site is jobsearchlog.com

Good Luck,

Michael
