Waiting for work calls can be tiring, boring and emotionally draining. Because you have to wait a long time for your CV to be followed up by the company or be contacted for a job interview. You may also be confused about what to do so that your CV will be considered, and in the end you will be called for an interview and recruited by the company you are targeting.
So, so that you don't get bored of waiting, it's better if you do 6 things that can be useful in the career world to increase your value during your waiting period.
What are these things? Check them out one by one below, Beauties!
1. Increase Self Value

Quoting LinkedIn, your personal values (including your weaknesses and strengths) can describe how you will act and make decisions. Personal values also have an impact on your professional life later.
Therefore, you need to identify your positive personal values because they can help you understand more about yourself and your motivation for working in the future. Apart from that, you can also make good decisions, knowing what is right and important to align your personal and professional goals in your future career life.
2. Increase Income

After graduating from school or college, usually some people do not find it as easy as before to ask their parents for money to meet their personal needs, aka they are required to immediately become financially independent.
Therefore, you have to be smart in looking for opportunities to make money. Either by selling, offering services based on your talents (for example, you are good at sewing or painting), and so on. That's the advice quoted from MindTools.
3. Build your self-image

Reporting from Forbes, this strategy can be useful for companies to check and find out what you are like on social media. Also through social media, companies can see whether your content is related to the position you are seeking or the company's field.
If it is related, then your CV can be considered and you have the possibility of being invited to a further interview by HRD or your prospective user at the company you are targeting.
4. Never Stop Learning

One efficient way to show your value is to increase your self-worth and learn new things.
In this era of digital technology and information, you can take advantage of platforms, courses, training and classes that can help you learn new things that will later be useful for work.
5. Develop Your Potential

Invest whatever time and resources you have to further optimize your abilities and grow. Because, when you develop yourself to become the best version, you can create value that makes companies look at you.
On the other hand, this also has a positive effect in every area of your life.
6. Expand Networking

The last but not least important thing is to expand your network of friends. Especially, with people who have the same interests and talents as you. If you have lots of friends, you can share ideas, job vacancy information, and quick solutions to getting a job.
