Work And Study / / December 25, 2019
If you are interested in the topic, how to write a resume that you quickly got a job, then you have missed this fast, still this and this. And today I would like to raise a slightly different matter, more relevant, in my opinion: it needed a piece of paper with listing all of your "exploits" in the career path to get a job, which can be called with honor favorite?! The text is more suitable for beginners in terms of job search, and for those who are concerned about the question: Do the work that I chose (a).
Everything, what you were taught in school / university employment, - wrong
Okay. Maybe not wrong. But it is not true - for sure!
The educational institutions are taught mainly how to apply to large corporations with the rules, painstakingly approved a dozen (or even two) years ago. You want to work in a young, vibrant, forward-looking company? Visit your head thinking of a startup? Think and deselect the bad habits that you grabbed for study time. In their place, let them come others - meet modern realities habits.
TRAINING
- Do not spread your attention and energy on hundreds of companies. Make a list of several organizations that are of most interest to you. Try as much as possible to specify how their knowledge, skills, goals, and your Wishlist. So it will take much less time to find a suitable candidate for the role the company of your dreams.
- Perform preparatory work. Talk to friends, read the forums and brand pages on social networks, contact with friends and relatives - not all jobs posted on the Internet. Find out more about the work that you want to try to enter the dialogue with the employees of the company, examine its culture. All this will help, first of all, you yourself decide whether you chose the right place.
CANDIDACY
- Remember: you have to be different from others. Otherwise, you are boring. How are you going to make an impression on the company that you like? Each organization is unique. The same must be unique in the offer for each of them. Look at the culture and values โโof the company and write a cover letter addressed to her.
- Do not be boring! Most of the correspondence received by the company - it resumes from applicants with a standard cover letter. But who said that your letter should be the same? Surprise managers on the other end: send the poster, track or videoThat you created specifically for the company. You only have 15 seconds to capture their attention, otherwise your letter will go to the cart or spam. Stand out from the crowd!
PORTFOLIO
Carefully described Portfolio = interview. Work on the project in their spare time. This will show your enthusiasm, which is much more important than the ability to work. Gather library their projects: it will tell you about a lot more than the usual resume or interview. Ability to work in a team is very valuable in today's realities. Participate in open source projects - be sure to include it in your portfolio.
Drawing up a good portfolio will take a long time. But it's worth it! Even if there would be one project, you still have ahead of its competitors. With each new project, your portfolio will grow naturally.
CALL
Congratulations, you have passed the screening stage for candidates resume! But up to the job of your dreams is still far. Before inviting a man in for an interview, the company checked his phone. Recruiters want to make sure that the applicant is full of enthusiasm and determination to get to them, and whether it has the appropriate level of qualification for the job.
Observe the balance between what to say enough and too much. Keep the conversation: if suddenly you are asked off-topic, you need to be ready- this is your chance to bring in a dialogue something memorable. If you have questions, be sure to ask them. But not just for the sake of maintaining a conversation, and if they really care about you.
INTERVIEW
Another step back, and now you are invited for an interview. This means that the employer is interested in you and wants to meet you face to face.
- Home is your goal - to relax, be yourself. Instead of repetirovat each phrase in the mirror all night... Ideal to prepare for the interview will help advance compiled plan.
- Not claim for an interview for half an hour; come for 3-5 minutes before the start - perfect. By itself, you should not forget about some basic things: to dress appropriately, make eye contact, smile, watch their gestures, observe the rules of decorum and civility. About his life and projects speak with love. Get Involved in the dialogue, ask questions, listen carefully to the interlocutor.
- Interview - this is not a place where you need to confirm your school or universitetstkie knowledge. Do not overestimate yourself! If you are uncomfortable and hard to be yourself during the interview, then try at least a little to be relaxed, but at the same time an enthusiastic conversation.
OFFER / DISCLAIMER
YOU TOOK โ Congratulations, you have a job! If you are open to other jobs, it supports the establishment of business relations. Take a couple of days to think. But recruiters do not keep in the dark.
