8 creative ways to find work

1. Make a creative resume

Recruiter gets a lot of resumes and will grasp the meaning of the document only if it is hooked from the first seconds. Therefore, make an unusual resume. The theme is not new for a long time, but you may have many questions:

• Non-standard - this is what?
• Where and in what programs to do such a summary?
• On what positions can be, and what is not necessary?

Creative resume - a summary that shows the creativity of its originator. It is not done in the "Notepad", but at least well-decorated in a Word or are laid out in InDesign. In it there are elements Infographic, or it is completely infographic. this resume in the form of site you are likely to have seen or even played it.

On the Internet there are many examples of unusual approach: the candidate puts a resume in a box of donuts and send to HR-department or rent a billboard in the right place, which broadcasts information about itself.

If you want to issue a resume without any frills, do it with the help of services such as Piktochart, CakeResume, ResumUP. Or you can use PowerPoint: create a portrait orientation, resume, and save in PDF or JPG, but do not forget to follow the structure.

Creative resume can be sent to all not very conservative positions. It is perfect marketer and designer, not - financier (although here you can experiment) and is not suitable to the chief accountant.

2. write

This option is interesting if future work not only income, but also a professional passion for you.

• Get blog, Share there knowledge and reflections on a professional theme. Or write on their pages on social networks.
• Comment on posts from your professional sphere in their own blogs and their pages on social networks. Encourage them to consider you as an employee.
• If knowledge can, make the publication in professional journals.

This will show that you are passionate about and involved in the professional sphere, will help make communications with helpful people. And your publication or blog can be used as a portfolio to his resume, just put a link to them.

When I first started looking for a job in recruitment, then I started a blog. In it she describes your search experience, and eventually he became a professional tool. Several times through the blog I was offered the job. For employers, it was important that I am passionate about the field of HR and know how to write.

3. speak

My friend found a job thanks to the presentation at the conference. He abruptly told about the achievements of the workers, observations, and employers themselves turned to him.

If you there is nothing to share, you can go to the event as a participant, meet friends from your favorite speakers and offer them himself as a candidate.

What do we have to do?

• Praise speaker, select what you liked in his report.
• Tell us about yourself and what you can be useful to his company.
• Do not lose contact and continue to communicate in social networks, commenting on his posts and asking questions.

Even if you did not call right away to work, that person can be your friend and mentor. And in the long term - to recommend you to their friends.

4. Use your contacts

The more people will know about your job search, the better. Tell me about your mother, a former colleague, write to friends.

Make a list of people who can recommend you to their companies. Even if today there is no match jobs, it may appear tomorrow. If your resume officer carried her to the personnel department, it will consider and give an answer.

5. use social networks

Make Viral post that are looking for work. If it is interesting, it will scatter and will attract the attention of employers.

In social media can and should be creative. This is not a job, where everything must be clearly structured.

• Write about who you are and that you know how.
• Interestingly shall describe their personal qualities.
• Put a cool picture.
• Make repost Group job search and groups for eycharov.
• Ask your friends to make a repost.

Why does it work? Eychary accustomed to passive candidates and are surprised when the man himself is interesting declares itself.

Andrew Amiryan of Realweb shares his experience: "I had just started his career in sales and interest in different directions. The first post was formulated from the category of "Friends, at the moment looking for work. Very interesting area of ​​sales, both direct and other areas. A standard set of properties, as well as in any other job, and additionally insatiable desire to learn. Ready to start with the starting positions. Like Cher, repost. "

After this further wrote to people who personally knew, asking them to make a repost. I believe that it is the social network has led to the fact that I was once on the development of the business unit, as a man shot repost, which is twisted in a circle start-ups. "

6. Walk around eychary

If you know what to offer us, and we are confident in their abilities, write future leaders directly.

Yes, it is necessary to find contacts. Yes, you need a good think about what to write and how to intrigue. Yes, this eychary do not like, but you're not going to obey eychary, right?

This method is suitable for those who represent, what will speak to the manager, if he would agree to meet. But be prepared that it can convey your eychary resume initial interview. There is nothing to worry about. Eychary very attentive to candidates who asked to meet with the chief executive.

7. Come to the company

What you need to do to make it work:

• Prepare for the meeting. Gather information about the company and tell eychary than you are so attracted to work with them, you have decided to take a chance and come.
• Please bring your resume and portfolio (if any). Well, if your resume will be adjusted under the vacancy.
• Think carefully about what you say. Your task - to interest and show that you are the person that they need.
• Be positive and set to a productive conversation. Everything and always a pleasure to chat with the friendly man.

I took myself to the work of the people who did so. I was impressed by their perseverance and the willingness to take risks. I understand that this person will roll the mountain to get the job done. And look to him, where he can be useful?

This method has drawbacks:

• Eychary, like any other people who do not like to be taken away from daily tasks. Your coming will be unexpected and cause at least surprise.
• The specialist may be busy and you will have to wait or come back another day.

What you risk:

• Wasted time and effort. You can get to any aggressive recruiter who express dissatisfaction. But believe me, in any blacklists you make and will not interfere with your job search - too.

8. Write a letter after the interview

If you have already passed the interview, the company you are interested in and have a good chance to get into it, you can again impress the recruiter, wrote him a letter after the interview. This practice has taken root abroad, but has not yet become a home for us.

This letter will reinforce the positive impression of you, with the help of it you can show off the skills of business correspondence, and to dispel any doubts that observed during the interview.

What to write:

• Say hello and thank you for the interview.
• Write down what you liked or what conclusions have you done after intercourse. For example, have you noticed at the lack of any knowledge: tell us how you plan to work with it.
• Develop a doubt. If you realize that your candidacy something bothers recruiter or manager, write about it. For example: "You asked about my experience public speaking. Found a link to the video of my presentation at the conference, here it is. "
• Remind them what your skills and knowledge may be useful company.
• Say goodbye and tell me what you wait feedback.

With this letter you will not only show that it is better the other candidates, but doskazhete that forgot to say in the interview.
