Putting your objectives and goals is considered to be the first step which helps you to get a job. It is very important, because it tells you what you want to be in the future.

There are other ways such as television and newspapers. So, it is important to put your objectives and goals and to try to implement them.
Second step, is writing your CV. CV is very important, because it tells the company that you want to apply to about your general information, specifically your skills, certifications and experiences. Jolina (2009) says that CV plays a vital role in your search for your career and it is described as a representation of yourself. How to write your CV is important as well as itself. So, you should write your CV in a correct way. In the heading of the CV you should write your general information such as surname, birthday, address, E-mail and phone number. Second, you write your skills, but you should not go very deeply when you are writing your skills. Third, you should write all certifications which you get in previous years and make copies of them to attach them with your CV. In addition, you should write your experiences, especially which are related to your job. Really, writing your CV is essential for you to get a job and try not to do any mistake when writing it.
The third step which leads you to get a job is preparing yourself for a job interview. National Centre of Human Resources Development (AL_Manar project) (2010) states that an interview is the employer’s way of selecting the right applicant from a group of equally- qualified candidates. Job interview requires you to go to a company and speak to the person who is responsible for the job interview. During the interview, the interviewer can speak to you, ask you some questions and know your potentials and abilities. Preparing yourself for a job interview is no less important than writing your CV. There are many things that you should do before, during and after the job interview. Before an interview, you should collect information about the company, prepare some notes in a paper and practice your introduction. Moreover, you should be punctual, get up early and arrive to the company before the interview begins. During the interview, you should knock on the door. Also, you should smile, relax and be confident. In addition, you shouldn't speak while the interviewer is speaking. Also, you don't answer with yes or no only, you should give more details about each question. After the interview, you should send a letter of thanks to a company regardless the result of the interview. If the company doesn't accept you, don't despair and try to find a new job. So, the job interview is very important for you to get a job. You should prepare for it because it facilitates getting a job.
In conclusion, getting a job is very essential for students. It can be successful if you put your objectives and goals, write your CV in a correct way and prepare very well before a job interview.
