Going in search of a new job, I want to find the ideal option as soon as possible, and not be content with what came first. This task is quite feasible, if you are guided by simple rules.
Instructions
Step 1
Before starting your search, prioritize. What kind of employment are you looking forward to? Make a list of what field you want to work in (in your specialty or not), office location and travel time, work schedule, career opportunities, salary). Make a note of all the points that are important to you.
Step 2
Now you need to write your resume correctly. If you are planning to find a job for a specific position or in a specific field, you do not need to write absolutely all past jobs on your resume, focus on your goal.
Step 3
For example, let's say you are planning to offer yourself as an accountant. In your work history, mark only experience in this area in the “previous jobs” column. An employer looking for an accountant is not interested in the fact that the candidate, in addition to debit with credit, was also engaged in advertising or sales.
Step 4
All information in the resume should be concise, clear and clear so that the employer immediately understands who you are. Do not forget to indicate the phones by which you can be contacted.
Step 5
It's a good idea to include on your resume a list of people with their contacts who can say that you are a good, responsible employee. These can be both the first heads of the enterprises where you worked, and the heads of departments or just colleagues.
Step 6
The next step is to send your resume to all potential employers. They can be found in classifieds newspapers, job sites, recruiting agencies or job exchanges.
Step 7
Do not limit yourself to the addresses of only those who advertise the search for employees. List the companies you would like to work for. Call and ask if they need specialists in your profile.
Step 8
Be persistent. Having sent your resume, call back to the company after some time and ask if your resume has already been considered and when you can expect a response. Offer to complete a test task that you can bring to the interview so that the employer can draw more accurate conclusions about you.
Step 9
Hooray! You have been invited for an interview. Do not forget, you will have to pass a very difficult test - the employer will like it. You will be meticulously evaluated from all sides, and you need to be ready for this.
Step 10
Don't be late at all. Better come 5-10 minutes early and wait at the reception. During this time, you will be able to assess the situation in the company - whether this rhythm of work suits you or not.
Step 11
A timid, tight-lipped, fearful candidate is much less likely to get a job than a confident candidate in himself and his professional abilities. But don't go too far - you don't need to be overconfident either.
Step 12
Be sociable. Not only answer the questions, but also ask your own. Ask about anything that interests you. The workplace will have to spend most of the time, and you should be interested in what conditions you will work in.
Step 13
It is a gross mistake of candidates at the interview to ask about the salary from the very beginning. Despite the fact that for many job seekers this item remains the main one, employers do not like people who are primarily interested in money. Ask this question at the end of the meeting if the employer has not raised the financial topic himself.
Step 14
If at the end of the conversation you are told "we will call you", it is better to immediately clarify whether this phrase is a veiled refusal or the employer actually needs time to analyze all the candidates and choose the best one. Whatever the answer, thank the company representative for their interest in your person.
