How To Improve Your Chances Of Finding A Company To Complete Micro-Tasks For
Searching for work completing Micro-Tasks can sometimes feel like a task in itself. The constant searching, registering, following-up and handing rejection takes time – sometimes a considerable amount of time. Many people spend days, weeks and sometimes months searching for a reputable – often without any success.
To help, we have provided a list of things you can do to maximize your chances of finding a company you can complete Micro-Tasks for.
Don’t copy & paste the text you use in your applications
Often there can be hundreds of people applying to the same company to complete the same Micro-Tasks that company has.
Therefore it’s very important to make yourself stand out by using unique text about why you want to work for that company every time you apply or register. It’s critically important that your information looks impressive and stands out from the rest. Basically, it will improve your chances.
If you copy and paste a generic application, or provide minimal information, the chances are that your application won’t stand out and will be ignored.
Include a cover letter
A cover letter can really help you get noticed when applying for Micro-Task work. Most companies who offer the chance to work completing Micro-Tasks won’t require a cover letter, therefore by including one it can really help you get noticed and show how serious you are about working for that company.
A cover letter should be a representation of your personality and your skills. Companies can use a cover letter to determine if they even make it to actually looking at your application – regardless of whether you’re actually qualified for the work or not!.
Sometimes a cover letter can spell the difference between success and failure. So, make sure that your cover letter clearly demonstrates your qualification and passion for working online completing Micro-Tasks.
Finally, do your research on the company you’re applying to. Tell them what you like about their company. Tell them how you think you could benefit them. It will show that you’ve got a real desire to work and ultimately do well for their company.
Highlight what makes you great
Most people simply state what they’ve done in their life. For example: You went to school, then college, perhaps university, then got a job, then left that job for another job. Outside of work you like watching films and socializing with your friends.
This is very standard and generic information. Most importantly, it doesn’t make you stand out at all! Everyone else will be writing the same sort of things.
To help improve your chances of getting work you really need to emphasize your key strengths and major accomplishments. Tell the company you’re applying to work with, in great detail, what you’ve accomplished while working in previous jobs. For example, you went above and beyond the targets set by the company to ensure you excelled month after month and gained promotions / recognition from management.
However, remember to not make the mistake of being boastful – there’s a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
Follow up
If you want to work for the company you have applied to then there is no rule or law that says you must wait to hear from the company first. So if you haven’t heard from the company you’ve applied to after a reasonable amount of time there’s absolutely no harm in sending a follow up email or making a follow up phone call.
Companies can appreciate this follow up as it shows you’re really interested in working for them. Plus, it might be that due to a large number of people showing their interest some applications might have been overlooked or initially rejected.
Sending a gentle reminder to a company that you really want to work with them can really improve your chances of being successful.
Likewise, if you’ve already had an interview or been sent a rejection message you should always follow up on that by thanking the company for their time. In this follow up you should then ask whether you could have done anything differently. This will help you improve for future applications you make. Finally, and most importantly, you should always ask the company to keep you in mind should anything change.
Showing determination, perseverance and a willing attitude can really be the difference between getting a job!
Keep going…
Finding a job completing Micro-Tasks online often requires a considerable amount of patience and perseverance. It can be as simple as a numbers game, therefore applying daily and making repeat applications to the same companies is always recommended. Ultimately, the more applications you make the more chances you’ll get to work online for a great company.
After all, you must remember that things can change. Companies can change what they’re looking for in applicants. Perhaps applicants who were accepted instead of you ultimately didn’t work out for that company. Or perhaps by reapplying there might be a different member of staff looking at your application. Or maybe the job may have changed and now your application suits the new job requirements. Or perhaps you’ve improved your skills and are now more suitable for the job. The list goes on…
Whatever the reason, it never hurts to keep applying. After all, they can only say no!
