The best specialists go to work in Moscow, and this is understandable: despite some development of the regions, the labor market in Moscow is still much more developed and is ready to accept new and new specialists.
Instructions
Step 1
There is a stereotype that Moscow is an arrogant city, and provincials are not liked here. It's not like that at all. Many highly paid specialists, top managers and businessmen working in Moscow have come here from other cities. According to many surveys, the majority of employers have a quite positive attitude towards specialists from the regions, considering them more hardworking, energetic and responsible. In addition, their salary expectations are generally not as high as those of Muscovites.
Step 2
Before you start looking for a job, take a look at how much is paid roughly to specialists of your level in Moscow. It is easy to do this through job search sites, there are articles on the average salary level in a particular industry, "salary meters" - tests that determine the level to which you can apply. Alternatively, you can simply browse the vacancies and analyze what you can expect. After that, indicate in your resume the salary just below this level - ten percent. So you will already "win" against some Muscovites.
Step 3
Many job search sites have an option that allows the employer to indicate whether he is ready to accept a specialist from another city. You should pay special attention to such vacancies. But if you are interested in a vacancy that does not have such a mark, do not rush to refuse it: in the end, your resume may turn out to be much more interesting than others sent for this vacancy.
Step 4
If you live in another city and if you need to come to Moscow for several days for an interview, arrange interviews with three to five employers at a certain period (for example, on a certain week). This week you can come to Moscow and go through all the interviews at once, which will save your efforts and money. Most likely, at least one of them will be successful for you. The interview option with the employer is almost always better than the video interview option, although some candidates use this option to avoid going anywhere. In addition, you will be able to assess the working conditions, the state of the office, as well as observe the employees.
Step 5
Some companies offer tests or specialty assignments. A nonresident candidate may well ask to send them to him by e-mail. After going through this first stage of selection, you will understand if you can count on a job in this company. In addition, sometimes test assignments say a lot about the employer and the nature of the job, and after completing them it will be easier for you to decide whether this job is suitable for you personally.
Step 6
During the interview, it is worth focusing on the best qualities attributed to candidates from other cities: hard work and activity, as well as slightly low salary expectations. It is better to "lose" a little in salary at first, but get a job exactly in the company in which you would like to work. Then, when you prove yourself, your income will grow - and, possibly, much.
