The Best Tip to get a Job

is to Brand & promote yourself.

Make getting your dream job your business &  take tips from successful businesses.

A successful business has a brand & always promotes itself,  their aim should be to create a fan base.

If you wanted to buy a computer you would probably get loads of people who have & love Apple, they will try to convince you to buy an Apple.

If you wanted to buy a good quality beautiful smelling soap with no chemicals, then Fans of Lush may convince you to buy Lush.

So the same with you, you need to create a fan base via branding & promoting yourself.

How?

Lets look at what you want to do.

Make up artist, goes without saying your make up should be impeccable however there are lots out there that don't even try at their own & how many times have you come across a hairdresser with awful hair! A wardrobe stylist should dress well, a cleaner should have a clean home, A declutterer should have a well organised office & a  P.A shouldn't be dizzy & constantly losing their keys!

You need to become the person & start your personal brand, it's about how you look, how you act, how you talk, what makes you unique?When you are branding yourself make sure it follows through with everything ie if you are telling people you are a family man make sure you're not seen out every week end with a different woman. If You want a top job at a law firm then dont let the photos of you with your boobs out on Face Book be seen.

Get out there & promote yourself, let everyone know what you do & that you're available. Eventually you will gain fans,once you have fans they will talk about you & promote you. i.e If somebody asks me if I know a good builder, web site designer, haidresser, dog groomer there is someone  I would promote for each of those jobs because I am a loyal fan.

Become the person become the brand then promote & gain fans.

JobHop is here! It all started from an idea that some people are in jobs that they really don't like. The reason for that is a regular pay cheque, lucky to have any job, haven't got time to join recruitment agencies, and they had given up on getting their dream job anyway.

What if there was a place where they could stay at their secure job whilst letting other Hoppers and employers know what they would really like to be doing..No risk if a better job or their dream job comes along then Hop!

And as an employer myself I was tired of paying expensive recruitment fees and I thought that the ideal candidate is probably in a job somewhere and I have no way of making contact with them. If there was a place where i could see people that may be in jobs but if they were offered their dream job they would be enticed.

So Job Hop was born 2 years later! Yes it took that long!

Of course there will still be improvements to be made so please e mail any feedback as that would be very much appreciated.

We have only been live a few days and we have had one drama when the site crashed ! It took hours to be put right however I am told that if anything like that happens again it can now be fixed straight away. Perhaps that was a positive thing to happen early doors then, we all love a challenge don't we!
