To get a job, you need to write a competent resume and send it to as many companies as possible in the field in which you want to work. Job search time is individual and depends both on your skills and wishes, and on the situation on the labor market. The most important point in finding a job is the interview. It is important for the applicant to understand whether the job in this company is suitable for him.
Instructions
Step 1
There are many articles out there on how to write your resume competently. As a rule, each profession has its own nuances, but the general requirements are as follows:
1. Resume should be meaningful, but concise, because HR managers sometimes simply do not have time to read multi-page files.
2. in the column "work experience" in the very first line should be your last place of work, ie. jobs must be listed in reverse order.
3. A good resume must indicate additional education - any courses, internships, etc., even if they are not very important for your profession.
4. be sure to indicate whether you know foreign languages and, if so, at what level.
5. Indicate your achievements in previous jobs - preferably in a separate column.
Step 2
A resume should be written in a Word file, and also placed on job search sites - www.hh.ru, www.superjob.ru, www.rabota.ru, etc. There are specialized sites for students and alumni such as www.career.ru, although there are vacancies for students and graduates on the above sites. Do not forget to update your resume at least once a week and as often as possible to review the vacancies that have appeared and respond to them - send a resume and a cover letter if these vacancies are suitable for you. A cover letter is a short "retelling" of your resume, explaining why you would like to work for the particular company you are sending it to. It is worth writing a cover letter template and changing it depending on the company
Step 3
For a successful job search, you need to make an approximate list of companies in which you would like to work. This is easy to do: for example, type in a search engine a query like "Moscow law firms" and look at the companies' websites. Some of them, perhaps, will not suit you or you will not like it, but with the rest it is quite possible to work with, i.e. send a resume, even if there is no information on the search for specialists on the site. This is where your resume in Word format comes in handy - it can be emailed to these companies.
Step 4
Connect your friends and acquaintances - who knows, maybe someone has a place just for you? Of course, not everyone likes this method, since it imposes certain obligations, but if you are confident in yourself as a specialist, then you can act this way. Moreover, your friends and acquaintances will tell you about the company, its requirements, corporate culture, and it will be easier for you to pass an interview.
Step 5
The first stage of the interview is the employer's phone call. The simplest points are found out over the phone - whether you can work according to the schedule accepted in the company, whether you are working now and in what position, what university did you graduate from, etc. If the employer is satisfied with the results of the telephone conversation, you will be scheduled for an interview.
Step 6
As a rule, all interviews are multistage. Large companies will offer to first take a test in the specialty and, possibly, in the English language. Some offer logic tests, business cases, and even psychological surveys. Smaller ones will be invited first for an interview with the HR manager, and then, if successful, with the company's management. As a rule, a decision on hiring is made within a few days after that.
Step 7
It is worth preparing for any interview, because it will ask both "organizational" questions - can you work with overtime, what salary you are applying for, etc., as well as questions in your specialty. In addition, both the HR manager and the head of the company will always assess how you are suitable for work in this company in terms of personal qualities. How active are you? Are you taking the initiative? Do you know how to work for the result? The nuances of interviews depend on the specialty and style of work in the company.
Step 8
To find a decent job, chances are you will have to go to more than one interview. If it seems to you that you have been looking for a job for a long time, do not despair: on the one hand, this is a reason to analyze what you are doing wrong in interviews, and on the other hand, to look at the situation on the labor market. It is likely that right now there are a lot of specialists in your field. In such cases, you can also pay attention to the adjacent areas.
