Even if the information about the vacancy came from an acquaintance or a former colleague who is part of the circle of people who make decisions when selecting a candidate, in rare cases this will free you from the entire chain of procedures preceding the job offer. If you are applying for a vacancy found in open sources, most of the required selection stages cannot be avoided for sure.
Necessary
- - summary;
- - means of communication (telephone, internet, etc.);
- - communication skills;
- - willingness to demonstrate their professionalism.
Instructions
Step 1
You need to start by sending your resume to the coordinates specified in the vacancy. Including in a situation where you are recommended (but the fact that you are recommended must be mentioned). Better not to leave the body of the email empty. Place your cover letter in it. When sending a resume by fax, the attached text is printed on a separate page and sent first. In this case, you can title it "Cover letter to the resume for the vacancy …". Recently, a response to a vacancy that does not contain at least the shortest appeal to the addressee is considered bad form and has more chances to end up in the basket, no matter what wonderful attachments it contains.
Step 2
If your profession provides an opportunity to demonstrate examples of work (for example, you are a designer, copywriter, journalist, photographer, etc.), immediately attach to the letter those that you consider the most indicative in light of the specifics of the vacancy. If they are too large, give a link where you can get acquainted with them, preferably with a light version: no one will be delighted with the need for too long a download.
Step 3
If your resume interests the employer, be ready to answer questions aimed at finding out your professional suitability and personal qualities in demand for the vacancy, your chances to fit into the corporate culture, etc. You may be asked to take a small test of professional ability or psychological testing to identify certain qualities. Well, if the employer does not find contraindications for your candidacy, interviews - and it is possible that you certainly will not be able to avoid more than one.
