It is often very difficult to get a prestigious, high-paying job. And all because the applicant not only does not know all the subtleties of the search, but also does not imagine exactly what he wants.
Losing a job is serious. After all, it is work that is the main, and sometimes the only source of livelihood. So now it looks like there is a long and exciting process of searching …
Don't panic
Left out of the usual office, there is no need to panic and get depressed. There is work everywhere, and there is a lot of it. Reputable firms often cannot find the necessary specialists, and those, due to insufficient information, do not know how to find a job and even have no idea about the available vacancies. But the main reason for failure in searches is that sometimes a person himself does not know what exactly he wants and what vacancy he should look for.
Knowledge is power
In order for your job search to be successful, you first need to prioritize yourself. What position do you want to take - a manager or a specialist? Or maybe you need to work with a free schedule or part-time? Or does it make sense to look for a company that needs remote workers? This kind of work is best suited for young mothers who have no one to leave their little children with …
And, perhaps, the most important thing to pay attention to: determine if you need a job that immediately brings good money, will be stable, but does not promise any development, or one that can be an excellent starting point for starting a career. The second option will be preferred by people who are active, who want to develop quickly and make a career with its turbulent course and possible failures. The first one is suitable for applicants who have a calm character and above all who value stability and confidence in the future.
Writing a resume
An employer, still not knowing anything about you, your achievements and abilities, is unlikely to invite you for an interview after the first call on the phone - time is too expensive in the world of modern speeds and hectic rhythms. In addition, there are a lot of offers from job seekers, and the employer's desire not to miss and hire the most suitable employee is quite natural.
Therefore, a correctly drawn up resume is of great importance, on the basis of which the employer makes a preliminary decision on hiring this or that applicant. The more complete and informative your resume is, the more likely it is that you will be given preference and that you will be invited for an interview.
When writing a resume, remember that this document should not be universal. It is best to compose your resume for each of the vacancies found, in which you can let the personnel officers understand that you know very well both about the company and about the position you want to take. The resume should be written on the case, contain only the necessary information - your hobby for cats or numismatics is of no interest to anyone.
Preparing for an interview
So, knowing how to write a resume, we gave this case worthy attention. And not in vain, because the decision to hire a particular candidate is made already at the resume level, and they are invited to an interview only to clarify details. Several applicants are invited for an interview, from which the employee is finally selected. When preparing for an interview, you need to find out as much as possible about the company so that the interviewer understands that you know well the position for which you are applying, how you have information about the company itself.
• Pay attention to the history of the company;
• memorize the names and titles of key figures;
• get an idea of the main directions of the firm's business;
• try to discern the prospects for the development of the company;
• Imagine what your personal contribution to the development of the company can be;
• prepare for a conversation about these topics;
• When going to interviews, dress in a business style, but try to come across as a cheerful person.
Now you can go to the interview, which will be a real turning point in your personal story.
