Every day, thousands of new jobs appear on job search sites, but finding a job is not easy. In most cases, demand exceeds supply by several times.
A competent resume is a key factor
The main thing in the resume is to clearly indicate the position you are applying for. According to research, most employers will not consider a resume with the wording "any position" or "specialist". You need to decide what you want. In the summary it is better not to give links to your pages in social networks - where the employer can find information that compromises you. A resume should not be too long. It is enough to list the skills and abilities only by points. A perfect resume takes about one sheet.
Job Search Season
As you know, it's hard to find a job in the summer. In the season of holidays and vacations the number of vacancies from employers drops sharply. However, experts advise some job seekers to look for work at this time. For example, this applies to specialists engaged in tourism, agriculture, as well as teachers who are beginning to prepare for the new school year in the spring. In addition, in summer the number of job seekers falls by about 25% compared to the winter period. Less competitors make it easier to find a job!
Photo to Resume
More than 70% of employers are sure that the correct picture in the resume helps with getting the job. No wonder they say: "Meet by the clothes"! According to experts, the photography "from the passport" will not bring success, because all the charm of the applicant will remain behind the scene. Excessive informality (for example, a photo of a person on a sofa) is a bad idea too. If you are looking for office work, the photo should be done in a business style, in a suit. A singer can have a photo from a concert. The main rules of any frame - focus should be placed on the face, and you need to smile in the picture.
"Friendly team" does not matter
When looking for a job, the applicant must carefully read all the vacancies. Do not despair of rushing to the demands and salary, suitable for the graduate, if you are an experienced employee. Now in many vacancies there is the wording "friendly collective". According to the experts, this is not necessary to pay attention to it: it is a usual attempt of the employer to locate potential employees.
Do not relax for a second
Even after sending the resume you should not relax. Applicants must constantly speak up for themselves: after sending a resume by e-mail, it is better to call and clarify whether a resume has come, when it is possible to come for an interview. Employers like initiative employees.
How to behave in an interview
Before the interview you need to think over the answers to the standard questions in advance: "Why do you want to work with us?", "Why did you leave your previous job?". Show yourself as an interested and motivated employee, do not be afraid to ask questions about the company's work. Speaking about your achievements, give concrete examples of them.
