How to use the sites to find work, to take a job dream

"What is difficult, then? Entering in the search form and profession of the region - and ready. " Many people do so.

From this point of view, job search sites on employment seems a bit of a ride on a scooter. It's simple: rulish, foot push or brake, glancing at passersby, enjoy the weather. To prepare the meatballs and then more training is required.

Meanwhile, the sites, which are often referred to as "working" - this is not the scooters. At least - good sports great. If you can, you can go with the wind and get there fast. Even over the bumps or slippery road in the rain. And you can stomp on foot and carry great for yourself. Doberoshsya to the point in any case, only costs time and effort - are different.

Why should in principle apply to the sites to find work

To many, this method seems too simple, not fashion. Sites for employment - the mass use of the tool, it's true. Applicants for them really much. Therefore, for example, a developer, a week ago, which has grown from junior position, begin to think about whether it elbow with other developers on the site or to throw cry in social networks to keep it, and him.

The same applies to any expert with extensive experience and / or unique skills. Such if looking for something through a friendBut often find them. This, incidentally, is the result of serious work on the formation of an expert image or personal brand.

But in professional cake there are many other layers. If you are not a programmer senior level experience with Google, not CEO of a large company, not the coach, whose book bestseller recognized, there is no guarantee that after you formed a queue of employers.

Therefore it is always useful to have a safety cushion - the ability to get at least a few sentences at any given time. The more so because of such things as networking and self-praise, think unit in everyday life. If you do not agree, say, if you have a ready elevator pitch Short presentation speech, which reflects the main characteristics of a professional: his skills, qualities, achievements. ? If not, then, job search sites exactly come in handy.

What to do to find better options

1. Create an online resume

To be honest, your box will not crack letters from employers in the first days. But if you place resume properly, there is a chance to be noticed is the employer who needs you.

For this:

• Specify a sensible headline. Good: "Sales manager of building materials, agricultural machinery, plastic windows", "Accountant with experience conducting business from 5000 employees "," officer with experience of service in the armed forces, a black belt in Karate ". Bad: "Manager", "accountant", "security guard". Very bad, "I am working (remotely)," "Without experience"" PC, Logistics Specialist, translator, fitness instructor. "
  • Specify the desired salary. Focus on the average market salary level in your industry, adjusted for your experience. "I need 80 thousand rubles, because I live in a rented apartment and I have two children" - is not an argument for the employer.
  • List the achievements. If you have little experience, let them be dostizhenitsa. Call for an employer for something specific, let him increase salivation. "I have the team management experience" - is too vague. "Coordinated work of five designers. Over the past three months, the department is made up of five brand book, decorated three entrances, designed 20 logos "- is warmer.
  • Add the correct photo. Very bad for the applicant - to place a photo on which the employer will either wonder or laugh. The photo It must be serious. Almost like a passport, only the face is not as bricks. And it's better if you take a picture of someone. Selfie leave for social networks.

Photos of real resume in the public domain, hosted on sites HH.ru, Trud.com.

Resume on the Internet will hang without requiring you to attention, with a chance to receive an invitation for an interview. True, you have to sift through the letters with offers to do network marketing, but that is the cost of production. By the way, do not forget to check email at least once a day.

2. Pick carefully jobs

Do not send resume mechanically. If you nurse, and look forward to working with living, you will not need job part-time. If important to you fixed working hours and a free weekend, do not respond to the position to which the employer says: "It takes a willingness to work overtime."

To sort the sentences using:

• filters (such as "schedule", "type of employment," "desired salary" and others);
• job descriptions.

3. use subscription

On all self-respecting sites Employment has this function - subscribe to a particular job specialization. Do not ignore it. Check emails 4-5 (4-5 subscriptions respectively) once a week is not difficult. But you save yourself from having to visit the site and start the search from scratch.

4. Keep an eye in the statistics summary view

Generally, the sites themselves inform the applicants about it. Just open the letters with messages about the views - I wonder the same as the process goes. You Submit resume a week ago, the demand for your profession average or higher, and no views? Check if the document in principle, re-read it again reflected: no failure, there is sufficient specificity.

If time permits, it is necessary to look resume competitors: what they write, what their strengths. A bit like a competition peacocks - whose tail is beautiful - but if we approach the issue analytically, it is possible to more clearly present their strengths. And at the same time to determine what skills are not enough to improve competitiveness.

5. Follow the employer's requirements

The job description states: "Run the test job and attach a link to a document in Google Docs in your cover letter." A competitor is doing everything wrong: enter the job right in the document with a summary or ignores the point where it is said about the test. Do you think it has a lot of chances to get the candidate to interview? They are equal to zero.

Most employers essentially ignore applicants inattentive, careless. This is understandable: for example, you will not go to the doctor, which is able to be confused with the liver spleen just because bad sleep.

6. call the employer

It's like a little secret ritual dance, that is not having a great practical advantage, but it works. After sending a resume, call the employer (or the telephone number found in the job description, or on the employer's page on the site). Ask whether the resume received. Obrad that received. Express your sincere interest in the possibility to apply (just gently).

Employers and HR-professionals especially love when a candidate does not simply send resume to float freely, and is interested in his fate. These candidates are called motivated, and it is a clear advantage.
