Yet another 4 simple tips for lazy job-seekers.

First of all: it is not easy to get a good job. Unless you are natural-born-lucky-bastard your job searching will be mostly tedious, boring and sometimes frustrating. Fortunately you can 'pimp' your chances of being noticed by the companies or recruiters you wish to work for.

Number One: Get your CV ready (in a proper way of course).

Your resume does not have to be the master-jewel in an ocean of poorly-written resumes. Simply make it, like you make your business card: nice and clean.

I saw many software guys' resumes, which were longer than 5 pages. Think about it: it's pointless to mention every single company you worked for. Recruiters simply will not have time to read it. Try to narrow your CV to 2-3 pages, maybe put a link to your LinkedIn page. Also get your full portfolio document if needed. Make it like a "click-bait", the more interesting title you use, the more possibility of clicking you get.

Number Two: Get your social media in place

Duh! LinkedIn, Xing, Facebook, Twitter, Goldenline and other, smaller players. You don't have to create a robust profile on every single of it. But spend some time to actually update one proper-one and simply put a link on the rest of sites. It really helps and makes you really visible. Spending an evening-or-two on updating few forms will really pay you off in future. Don't forget to make your CV searchable for the recruiters!

Number Three: Be nice to recruiters (really?)

Oh yes, recruiters. We all know you are as valuable as the position, they can place you in. But this is like sweet-bitter relationship, there is a marginal chance on actually being approached by end-clients. In 90% you will be scouted by internal recruiters or specialized agencies. So be nice to them, get them what they want, they know end-client much better than you. At the end you play towards the same goal, so accept any form of coaching you could get, before meeting the client.

Number Four (the most important): Be good in what you do for living.

This is simple, right? Learn, get trained, get coached, expand your horizons, try new things and even teach others. Simply stay productive and open-minded. It's a full, independent topic for an article on its own.

Good luck!
