Where and how to look for a job? How to get hired quickly Good work no education or experience? How to find a job to your liking?

We will tell you what steps you need to take in order to solve the issue of employment for yourself in a short time.

Even the difficult times of the economic crisis are no reason to give up. And in difficult times, it is quite possible to find a job, you just need to know where and how to look.

This article will be useful both for people who have little work experience behind them, and for experienced professionals in their field. Everyone will find a lot of useful and effective tips for finding the job of their dreams.

So, let's begin!

1. How to find a good job and where to start looking

According to the Ministry of Labor, unemployment growth was recorded over the past month (January 2016) in most subjects of the Federation. The Ministry of Economic Development predicts an increase in the number of unemployed by 400-450 thousand people this year.

This number can be safely added to the 3.9 million people who are already registered as unemployed citizens.

However, surveys of personnel services inspire some optimism: a quarter of all companies plan to increase their staff this year, although they are going to hire only the most energetic and competent employees. How to find a job in such a situation? Where to look for work in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities?

Where do you even start looking?

The first thing you will have to learn for yourself is that you will have to look for a job on your own - no one will do it for you. Although you shouldn't rely too much on the help of friends and relatives, telling them that you are looking for a job is your first task. Do not overestimate the help of employment agencies either: they are certainly useful, but they have their own interests and not every one of them fulfills its functions by 100%.

First, ask yourself a few important questions:

• What kind of job do you want to find?
• What schedule will suit you?
• What salary do you expect?
• Will you be able to work away from home and what would be your daily travel time allowance?
• Will work change the quality of your life for the better?

Once you have prioritized, you can begin to take action. If you are clear about what you want, you will be less likely to get a job that you want to leave in the first week.

And it’s also worth immediately identifying unpromising areas - places where, firstly, they don’t wait for you, and secondly, even if they do, they will offer you the minimum wage.

A couple of years ago, the most unpromising in career terms were considered: science, utilities, culture, sports, security. Today, according to experts, the recession threatens banking and tourism. This will significantly increase female unemployment.

According to forecasts, a decrease in the number of mortgages issued could reduce construction, which will cause an increase in unemployment among men.

The male part of the population has nothing to "catch" in the automotive industry either (at some factories there are already only 1 shift left, and salaries have fallen by 20%). The staff in the field of auto sales will be reduced, however, some increase in vacancies in the auto repair business is expected.

The stagnation in the catering sector will drive thousands of waiters and cooks out onto the street. Unemployment will rise among makeup artists, stylists, beauticians, hotel industry workers. Among office workers, a reduction in lawyers and economists is expected due to overproduction over the past 2-3 years.

All other areas are relatively promising.

2. Where to quickly find a job or part-time job

Exist quick ways job search for students and people with no experience. We have collected in this section practical advice that will help those who need a quick income but do not have professional skills to find a temporary job.

Student with no experience

There are thousands of offers on the Internet for graduates and university students. You should not be particularly happy with the number of offers: not all vacancies promise really stable income. Students are usually offered low-paid and labor-intensive activities:

• promoter;
• courier;
• waiter;
• Sales Manager;
• animator;
• guard (watchman).

Some types of work involve exclusively seasonal employment, which students during summer holidays just on hand. With the advent world wide web job searches have become much easier and more efficient. Now it has become easier for a student without work experience to find a vacancy. We have already written, this article discusses, among other things, options for earning money through the Internet for young people.

Few people continue to use print publications (although it is too early to discount newspapers and magazines devoted to vacancies): just go to the resource and get acquainted with the offers that are already sorted into categories and sections. You can even create a detailed resume and post it on job search portals, perhaps employers will choose your candidacy.

Without education

Work without education involves approximately the same vacancies as in the case of student part-time jobs - couriers, security guards, waiters, loaders, workers in trading floors supermarkets. Do not count on the special generosity of employers and do not rush to respond to the first offer that comes across.

To get started, study all the vacancies that you liked, make a list of the offers you are interested in, arranging them in order of personal attractiveness.

Weigh all the pros and cons and do not be afraid to say “no” to the employer if the vacancy has ceased to interest you for some reason (far from home, night shifts and other nuances). Do not be afraid if you are offered pre-training. So you will gain experience and skills that can be useful in the future.

Even as an intern, you can be persistent and quickly get a better position in the same company. We have already published an article about part-time jobs on our website, we recommend that you read it.

In crisis

The difficult economic situation is changing our lives. Above, we have already cited statistics on unemployment and layoffs in certain areas. At the moment, there is a clear violation of the balance of supply and demand in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and other cities of the Russian Federation.

How to find a job in a crisis? There is only one option - to be active in the search for vacancies: post resumes not on one Headhanter site, but at least on 3-5 portals. Employers' budgets for finding employees are also limited, and searching through recruitment agencies is mostly paid for by employers.

The right approach to the job search business is half or even a large part of success.

It is not so important whether you have experience and knowledge, whether you graduated from a university or only 9 grades of school, main factor: self-confidence, awareness, desire to develop and improve. Our tips will also help you find a good job - read them carefully and be sure to use them in practice.

Tip 1. Be persistent and methodical - do you want to LOOK for a job or FIND one?

Perseverance, methodicalness, a systematic approach and theoretical training are the leading success factors. Decide what you really want - search job or find her?

"I'm looking for a job" is a good psychological shield against claims from family members and relatives. Do not forget that looking for a job is only necessary in order to find it, improve the quality of life and change financial status.

Important: looking for a job is also a kind of work! It should be approached as seriously and responsibly as any work. Once you've written your resume, don't forget to update it and post it on multiple sites. Send it to all employers who are at least theoretically interesting to you. It doesn't matter if you seem pushy - companies tend to appreciate persistent and energetic employees.

illustrative example

One of our acquaintances named Victor has been looking for work for about a year and a half, but has not yet found a place.

Searching for vacancies has become his kind of daily ritual. He regularly browsed job search websites, wrote out phone numbers and company data, and often called potential employers. Sometimes I even went to interviews.

Even if he was quite satisfied with the salary and other factors, he still found some point on which this job did not suit him.

The boss is a woman, the office is not in a prestigious area, there is no cooler in the workplace. In other words, Victor simply did not want to get a job, but wanted to look for it and create the appearance of activity.

With this approach, the chances of improving your life are certainly minimal.

Tip 2. What is better to choose - a highly paid job or a job you like?

It is ideal, of course, to have high paying job which you like. But in practice, a highly profitable place is not always to your liking.

The question posed in the title of this paragraph, each decides individually.

Psychologists insist that it is better to do what you like, even if this business does not bring high income right away.

• Firstly, any work involves the development of professional skills. Perhaps at the moment the salary is not too high, but by improving your qualifications and level, you can always count on an increase in income.
• Secondly, go to work that you do not like, like hard labor, experiencing negative emotions, unhealthy.

The immune system directly depends on our psycho-emotional state: it has been proven that people who are engaged in an unloved business and perceive work as a “necessary evil” are more likely to get infectious and chronic diseases.

A person spends a significant part of his life at work. Do you want to be constantly depressed, complain about life, sleep poorly and count the minutes until the end of the working day? We are sure not.

So, make a choice in favor of the vacancy that you personally will like, and not your husband (wife, mother-in-law, dad, mom).

Tip 3: Use as many different job search options as possible

Diversify your search as much as possible. The more job search methods you use, the higher the chance of success. In the next section of the article, we will take a closer look at them, pointing out the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each of them.

There are certain rules for writing a resume that should be followed if you want to impress the employer as a prepared, purposeful and serious person. A resume is the first thing an employer bases his conclusions on when considering a specific candidate for an applicant.

The resume should be:

• Concise and containing only relevant and important information. The employer usually does not have time to read your detailed and detailed essays, so the information should be placed as concisely, effectively, and correctly as possible. You should not describe your life path in the “about yourself” column, starting from kindergarten. It should contain information useful to the employer, emphasizing your professional merits or testifying to the ability to work in a team.
• Written without errors and logical inconsistencies. Even if you are hired as a turner at a factory, you must show yourself to be a competent and responsible person: fortunately, it is not difficult to check the text for errors at the present time. The ability to present information in a logical and structured way is a quality that is valued in any position.
• Smartly designed. Each column in this document is assigned a specific place. If you write about professional and personal qualities in one section or if you are careless in the design of your resume, HR specialists are unlikely to bombard you with interview invitations.

The resume must include: personal and contact details, wishes for future work, experience, professional skills, education, awards and diplomas of a professional nature.

Fraudsters - in this case, companies that either want you to work for free or hope to get your money. Online scams are especially common. Distinguishing honest employers from scammers is not easy: scammers know how to inspire confidence and impress.

The most correct rule

If someone wants you to transfer a certain amount of money to an account (down payment, loyalty check, payment teaching aids or materials), you are likely to be bred.

Tip 7. Prayer for work is your extra helper

Prayer-appeal to the Orthodox Saint Spyridon Trimifuntsky helps believers find a good job.

This saint and miracle worker, who lived at the beginning of our era, helps those in need to gain confidence, independence, and find their life's work.

They pray to Saint Spyridon during life's troubles, financial difficulties, in the absence of work.

Here we provide effective ways to find a job. With the help of them you will be able to cover the maximum number of vacancies and offers.

1) Personal contacts: relatives, friends, social networks

The statistics show: small companies 40% of employees get hired by acquaintance through friends, relatives or through social networks. By simply posting a job search message in your Facebook or VKontakte status, you will significantly increase your chances of finding a job through close or distant acquaintances.

The main category of people who use free classified newspapers are older people who are conservative and do not trust modern technologies. Some companies that publish job listings in newspapers duplicate them on Internet sites.

4) Online Job Search Sites

The most relevant way today. There are dozens of sites on the Internet that update lists of hundreds of vacancies every day in all possible areas of work. Proper use of online portals will allow you to find a job quickly and for free.

Most popular job sites:

• Job.ru- a popular portal for job seekers and employers. A very simple interface of the site will allow you to easily and simply wait for employers to call you. Registration and preparation of a resume on the site will take no more than 20 minutes.
• headhunter(hh.ru) - this convenient, functional and up-to-date site works in every city, has hundreds of thousands of vacancies in the list (depending, of course, on the population) and several million resumes from applicants from all over Russia;

A completely reliable and productive method of finding a job, especially if you have something to interest the employer. Competition between employers in the market is very high: they also try not to miss valuable employees.

6) Recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies work through recruiters: you leave them your resume, they are looking for an employer. Be careful - not all recruitment agencies are “clean hands” - among them there are often scammers or just firms that do not perform their work up to the mark.

5. How to get a job - 7 popular areas of employment

Many people want to get a prestigious job. In this section, we have reviewed the most popular areas of elite employment.

To the police

New personnel will always be in demand by law enforcement agencies: the work is hard, dangerous, but, of course, necessary. There are almost no delays in the salary of the police, in addition, the employees themselves have an impressive list of benefits and privileges provided by law. But not everyone is hired by the police.

Almost prerequisite is military service, impeccable health, good physical shape. What matters is emotional stability, which is checked at the initial stage of selection of candidates with the help of testing.

Young people of any gender 18-35 years old are taken to serve in the ranks of the police. Candidates' educational requirements depend on the position they are applying for. Profile education, of course, will not be superfluous if there are thoughts about career growth.

in the FSB

FSB officers can theoretically become citizens of the Russian Federation who, by their professional, physical, personal qualities, as well as by age and education, can perform official duties. In addition to the list of required documents, candidates are required to pass:

1. Psychophysical testing for resistance to stress.
2. Tests for the use of drugs and psychoactive substances.
3. Physical condition check.
4. Medical examination.

In addition, all future employees of the Security Service must pass the registration of access to State Secrets.

To Gazprom

Gazprom is the most profitable and stable company in the country, an influential player not only in Russia, but also in the global economic market. Getting a job at Gazprom is the dream of many of our compatriots. It is believed that it is impossible to get a job in this company without personal connections, but this is just a stereotype.

Job searches in Gazprom can be started from the websites of these companies, where lists of vacancies are regularly published. If, moreover, you good specialist profile direction, certified graduate prestigious university, then it is quite possible that the doors of the company will be hospitably open before you.

To the bank

This direction has always been of interest to people who dream of a career, stable earnings and high profits. Experts predict some decline in this direction in the coming years: most likely, ordinary workers will be laid off - line managers, cashiers, and so on.

There are no strict education requirements for consultants and tellers (front-office workers). As a rule, students of economic and law universities, people with managerial experience, come to banks.

In banks, there are a lot of starting positions for which people can be hired without experience. In 1-2 years, many young people manage to grow vertically or horizontally in terms of career. True, it is not necessary to count on very large salaries for employees without experience. However, a year or two can be tolerated for the sake of a future career.

Rotational method

Builders, drivers, bulldozer drivers, tractor drivers and representatives of other specialties, whose skills are required in the harsh conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, work on a rotational basis.

The essence of the shift method is simple: a team goes to work for 1-3 months and performs its duties on the job - living in temporary housing at construction sites, mining or processing of minerals.

Theoretically, any person of the required specialty, ready to work in harsh conditions, can be hired as a shift worker.

Warning

People seeking to find work on a rotational basis may run into a "scam" - firms that collect supposedly "entry fees" from "future employees" for registration.

To avoid this, work only with those companies that have representative offices.

Abroad

To get a job abroad (we are not talking about China and Mongolia, but about Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia), you need to look for a position either through recruitment agency or on foreign websites.

The chance to work abroad is high for representatives of popular technical specialties - programmers, engineers, designers, IT specialists. Good options are offered to financiers, top managers.

Naturally, without knowing the language, getting a normal job in another country is almost impossible. Competition in the job market in Western Europe is very high. In addition to local applicants, people from the eastern part of Europe, Turkey and Asian countries seek to find work there.

You can get a job in the Russian Federation in an international company, and then look for opportunities to transfer to a foreign office. If you make every effort and effort, this will be quite a feasible task for an ambitious and purposeful person.

to the civil service

Far from the worst employment option (especially in a crisis). There is almost always a competition for the vacancies of civil servants: they choose the best possible candidate.

The recruitment process is a step-by-step process - first, all your documents and data are reviewed, then a face-to-face or written test for special training is carried out.

Work experience in a specialty (for example, in a bank, if you get a job in the financial part) will be a good help. You can find out about vacancies in the service of the state apparatus on the websites of the authorities of the city or region.

6. How to find a remote job online

Networking - great option for those who do not want to work according to the schedule and "for an uncle." Today, on the Internet, you can find jobs in all humanitarian and technical specialties. Linguists, philologists, teachers, designers, lawyers, medical workers, programmers are in demand. We have already discussed in detail in one of the previous articles.

To receive income, you only need constant access to the Web, a bank account or an electronic wallet. Plus the desire to learn and grow. You can find remote work on the World Wide Web on special sites like FL.ru and Workzilla.

Internet business - a relatively new direction, which is becoming more and more relevant. On the Web, you can open your own business (an online store, a legal portal, a school), or you can simply do what you like remotely.

If you are a journalist or philologist, write texts to fill network resources with content. If you are a university teacher, prepare applicants via Skype or help with theses. Any talent can find an application: your skills and abilities can be converted into a cash equivalent.

The Internet has many advantages:

1. You can work without special education. You can get specialized knowledge here, for example, by studying feature articles, e-learning courses and Youtube videos.

With initial investments in marketing and optimization, in a year you can turn your project into a profitable business that brings a stable income.

7. How to look for a job in Moscow

Finding a job in Moscow is certainly not an easy task, especially during the economic downturn. You can count on official vacancies only if you have Moscow registration. Informal employment is a common but risky option. If there is no employment contract, you are in the full power of the employer.

Moving and finding a place in the capital is a challenge for energetic and ambitious people. If you have abilities, knowledge, skills and a suitable education, you can find many options for self-realization in the capital.

Be ready in advance for a change in the rhythm of life, other prices and a different level of salaries. If you plan to live in a rented apartment, calculate the level of income in advance to cover the cost of rent and still eat normally.

So, now you know a lot more about how to find a job. We hope that our recommendations will help you find a way to earn money that suits you completely in terms of money and in terms of self-realization. We wish you to find a highly paid hobby, then you will not have to work in the standard sense.

Approach your employment seriously, because, according to statistics, more than half of a person's life is spent at work.

We wish you success.

Gone are the days when a lifetime job at one company was considered a successful career. Today, a profession can be changed at any age, and lack of experience is unlikely to become an obstacle to employment. The main thing is to prepare for the search: write a resume correctly, present a high-quality portfolio and not be afraid to complete a test task.

Putting emphasis in the resume

A resume is the first contact between an employer and a candidate. If there is no work experience in a new specialty yet, the resume needs to be edited. First of all, change the title: from the old profession to the new one.

Education

List all the trainings and refresher courses you have completed that are relevant to your future job. If the profile education of the applicant is philological, but in parallel with his studies at the university he attended design courses, this will be an argument in his favor.

Nevertheless, the first education should also be mentioned, especially if the specialty is quite general: sociology, management, history. Higher education is often one of the filters in the selection of a candidate. If there are several formations, they are highly specialized - for example, medical, and the candidate wants to leave this industry - then you can not indicate them.

experience

Be sure to talk about your experience, even if it is not related to the new job. Pay attention to those aspects that will be useful in new sphere: A candidate who has worked as a developer for many years can apply for the position of sales manager in an IT company.

Experience is not always work for money. Add participation in volunteer projects, internships and internships to your resume.

Career

Imagine a candidate who started working in a clothing store as a student and became a regional sales director before graduating from university. Most likely, such an employee has a great potential for development even in a new professional field for him.

Therefore, it is important to present your growth within the company in your resume. Each role does not have to be written in a separate section: they can be listed under the responsibilities and results of the last position held. It is not necessary to write a detailed story, it is better to do it in the format of short abstracts - this is a more suitable option for a resume.

Skills and personal qualities

If the applicant “grabs everything on the fly” and “learns quickly”, you definitely need to talk about it. Best of all with evidence: “was a member of the student council and organized festive events”, “received gratitude from the dean of the faculty for ...”, “became the best employee of the branch according to the results of the half year”, and so on.

Match the job requirements with your knowledge and competencies. Select exactly those of them that will be useful in a new position. Add them to the "Key Skills" and "About Me" sections.

Motivation

Pay attention to the final phrase in your resume or cover letter. It is she who ultimately shows that the candidate has an interest in a new field. For example, you can write something like this: “I am focused on personal and professional development in the field of IT, in the near future I plan to take training courses / trainings or receive additional higher education on this topic".

Writing an accompanying

Do not start your letter with the phrase "I have no work experience." Use positive language:

• “during my studies, I received knowledge from the field…”;
• “I have the personal qualities necessary for this position…”;
• “In my previous job, I gained experience…” and so on.

Pay attention to motivation: tell why you are interested in a particular position in a particular company. Sometimes candidates without experience, but with “burning eyes”, bypass professionals who are tired of work due to motivation.

Attaching a portfolio

Experience and work skills in some cases can be assessed without an interview, based on a portfolio. Based on it, the employer will get an idea of ​​the professionalism of designers (web, graphic, landscape, interior, clothing), authors (content, rewriting, copyright), photo and video operators. A person who is familiar with computer layout and has experience in creating websites can start doing printing. Or a long-time journalist always has a chance to retrain as a public relations specialist or press secretary.

Most employers also pay attention to general knowledge and basic skills: communication, presentation, analytical skills of the candidate - regardless of whether he has experience or not.

Leave time for testing

Test - a chance to prove yourself. If an employer drew attention to an applicant without relevant experience in the resume and offers to complete a test task, it is worth taking the time to do it. Thus, the candidate will not only demonstrate his skills and knowledge in practice, but will also be able to assess for himself how ready he is to take on this job.

Experienced candidates have to perform test tasks much less frequently. In their case, a portfolio is usually sufficient.

We respond to suitable vacancies

Often those who do not have experience have to start with internships. But we recommend applying for entry-level positions too, especially if your resume already has work experience in another specialty. Act confidently and persistently: everything will work out!

For those who still doubt themselves, we have compiled with examples and useful wording. Experts of the Ready Resume service can compile this for you: HR specialists will conduct an interview and prepare a document suitable for your career plans.

How to get a job is a question that, to one degree or another, concerns almost the entire population of the planet Earth. The vast majority of people are periodically in search of a new job, or at least think about changing their current job.

Recommendations are the most effective method apply for a job

If you're looking for connections to get a job and that was your first thought when looking for a job, then you're on the right track. Referrals are the most effective way to get an interview or an offer.

It should be noted that having connections is not the only way to get a job, and less than half of all vacancies are filled through an acquaintance.

1. Before you start looking for a job, take the time to decide what kind of job you are looking for

Trying to apply for every vacancy that comes across is not the most best idea. Focus your attention on those offers that suit you best, because in this case your chances of getting an interview will increase. Sending random resumes and cover letters will be a waste of time.

Think of a target list of companies that are of interest to you as a potential employer.

2. Don't Stop Submitting New Job Applications While You're Waiting for an Employer's Response

Most job seekers are rejected by more than 15 employers before applying for a job. Do not stop at one vacancy and keep looking for a better offer.

The worst thing that can happen in this case is that you will have several job options, and you will be in the position of the person who makes the choice.

3. Compose covering letter otherwise your resume may not be considered

You have only a few seconds to impress the employer's representative, who decides whether to select you for an interview or reject you.

Many hiring managers who review each offer personally believe that if you don't show what you can do for the company in the first paragraph of your cover letter, you shouldn't be invited for an interview.

4. Write a targeted resume for the job

You should edit your resume and bring it as close as possible to the vacancy and the employer's resume writing requirements.

5. It's not always a good idea to include your entire work history on your resume.

If you have 40 years of work experience and a large number of positions under your belt, this can really impress someone. Another may begin to fall asleep, not having time to finish reading the resume to the end.

Your resume should not contain unnecessary information.

6. Include Other Information In Your Resume Besides Work Experience

If you're not currently working, your resume shouldn't look like you haven't done anything since you quit your previous job.

Perhaps you work under a contract, you are an individual entrepreneur, you attend educational courses or seminars. Such information will not be superfluous for your resume.

7. Dress like successful man in your profession

If you think that appearance does not have a strong impact on the employer, you are mistaken.

It is in the first minutes of the interview that you make the greatest impression on the employer. Therefore, to better understand how to apply for a job, make sure that you are dressed in the most appropriate way for the applicant for the current vacancy.

8. Be yourself

Memorized answers, insincere smiles, and saying what you think they want to hear instead of what you really think can mislead the employer. The employer wants to know who they are hiring, and this is the person they expect to see on their first day of work.

9. Tell a personal story during an interview

One way to show an employer who you really are is to tell a personal story.

When you are asked questions during the interview, talk about your skills and experience, as well as the ways you solve problems in the course of your work. The more specific information you provide, the better the employer representative will understand how qualified you are.

10. Never say anything bad about your previous employer.

One of the most common interview mistakes is making negative comments about your previous boss or co-workers. The first thing a new employer will think is "That's what this guy will say about our company after we fire him." Therefore, if you want to get a job, this mistake should be avoided.

11. Send a Thank You Letter After an Interview

This step is important for the subsequent decision after the interview. This is a way to show your appreciation that you are being considered, as well as highlight your interest in the job offer.

12. Recommendations have great importance when applying for a job

13. It's okay to apply for the same job more than once

If you know that the vacancy remains, you can try to send your resume a second time. This is especially true if you have new recommendations.

14. Shine your shoes before the interview.

The employer will definitely pay attention to your shoes, but you should appear before him in the best light.

1. Use your situation

If you're applying for an entry-level position, most employers don't expect you to submit a resume containing rich previous experience. Instead, use your lack of experience as learning. Highlight your dedication, curiosity, and commitment to learning and growth.

Employers are looking for people who are willing to work hard and have a desire to learn.

2. Define your skills

Make a list of all of your skills that a job applicant might need: computer skills, technical skills, communication skills, information search skills, problem solving skills.

To better understand your skills, answer yourself the question, on what issues do people turn to you for help?

3. Link Your Skills to Your Job

When you decide to apply for a job, you must have reason to believe that you can do the job well.

Spend some time analyzing the relationship between your skills and the job offer. What formal or informal seniority and experience do you have, or what personal qualities do you have that are necessary for this job?

Be analytical and creative in this matter. Once you have established a relationship for yourself, you can explain it to a potential employer.

4. Emphasize your ability to cooperate

What will allow you to stand out from the rest and get a job? Demonstrate such qualities as friendliness, ability to work in a team, responsiveness, understanding the need for unity in order to achieve a result. These qualities are worth a lot, because it is quite difficult to develop them.

5. Know your worth

Any employee can be trained in anything. But if you are confident in yourself, you realize that you are a strong-willed person, capable and professional in any task, you should know that you are in the minority. Therefore, know your worth.

6. Balance of confidence and desire for development

Important, but it must be imbued with modesty. Show that you can do the job, but at the same time show your desire for development and ability to learn.

7. Internship

If you can't find a job, work for free.

It is quite possible to find a trainee position. Not only will you gain valuable experience, but you will also be able to establish business contacts, receive recommendations, and maybe even a permanent position after a probationary period.

8. Training

You may need education to apply for the position you want. If you have an interest in law, then it's time to enroll in law school.

But even outside of formal education, find ways to maintain the current and expand the existing knowledge base: attend courses, trainings, read literature, articles.

9. Be realistic

Even making the most of your skills and experience, make sure you apply for jobs that are right for you. In a competitive job market, where employers are sometimes inundated with highly qualified applicants, there is less reason to take the risk of hiring a candidate with minimal qualifications.

Choose jobs that really suit your skills and aptitudes, not just ones that you feel like “I could probably do it.”

One of the easiest ways to have a successful interview and get a job is to prepare for the most common questions.

99% of the job interviews you go through will follow the same pattern. If you can master this format, your confidence will skyrocket and you will be prepared for any situation that may come up in an interview.

Interview Questions

Question #1: Tell me about yourself (your experience, why you are interested in this position, etc.)

It is at this stage that you will have the opportunity to make a first impression. More importantly, this is the only part of the job interview that you have complete control over.

Don't read your resume like a grocery list. To credit this stage of the interview to your asset, you need to prepare interesting story, my history. You want it to be short (about 2-3 minutes) and you should think very carefully about what you want to say.

What to say about yourself

1. Choose 2-3 topics to create your story (professionalism, efficiency, focus on results).
2. If possible, please quantify your experience. Demonstrate in numbers what you have already achieved.
3. Come up with an answer to the question why you want to leave your current job. The employer will ask you about this anyway, so it's better not to wait for such a question, but to take the initiative.

Sample interview story

The story of a biologist who decided to pursue a career in digital marketing.

Growing up in a normal environment, like most people, I wanted to be a doctor. I graduated from college where I majored in biology and was planning to go to medical school. While in college, I decided that a doctor was not for me. I wanted to work in digital marketing, so I set myself an appropriate goal and made a plan with which I could achieve it.

After graduating from college, I moved into selling medical equipment, working from 5:30 am to 12:30 pm. Then, every day, I did digital marketing until 8:00 pm.

To get the experience I needed, I got certified in Google Analytics & AdWords and started my own consulting firm that focused on using search engine marketing technologies to generate leads (leads) for online stores, offline stores, real estate agencies . We have been able to increase home sales for our clients by an average of 20%.

Armed with the accumulated experience, I began to look for a job in Moscow, because I wanted to move to live and work in the capital. I was eventually offered a current position at an advertising analytics company. During my work, I was able to lead a structural unit, overseeing the direction of Internet marketing, and helped close the second largest deal in the history of the company.

Coming soon to advertising agency internal changes began to take place. Over the past year, I have changed 3 different managers, while my job responsibilities have changed 3 times. Therefore, I am looking for something more stable in the area I love, and I am very happy with the opportunity.

When you're telling a story, don't be afraid to embellish a little. This does not mean that you should lie or make up stories, but if you want to get this job, be sure that your competitors will not be afraid to inflate their barely noticeable achievements to universal proportions.

Question #2: Behavioral Interview Questions

The next step to getting a job is a daunting list of behavioral questions. In fact, there is nothing wrong with them. These are questions that are designed to demonstrate your ability as well as your ability to work in a team.

The behavioral section is divided into two parts, which can be presented in the form of standard and special (specific) questions.

Standard Questions

1. Why do you want to work with us?
2. Tell me about situations where you have demonstrated .
3. Tell me about your team experience.
4. Tell me about an experience when you had to work with a difficult person or with difficult people.
5. Tell me about your failures and problems in the professional field.
6. Tell me about the ways you overcame problems.
7. Tell me about your achievements.

You will be asked to answer one, several, or all of these questions at every job interview you have. If you can answer these 7 questions, you will succeed in 9 out of 10 job interviews without any other preparation.

Just follow the same set of rules mentioned above in the “Tell me about yourself” section:

1. Create a short story.
2. Be sure to include quantitative indicators that illustrate your success.
3. Anticipate possible questions and prepare answers to them.

Special (specific) interview questions

These are questions that are related to the specifics of the activity, as well as your personal characteristics and experience.

These should include:

1. What is the reason for the change of profession.
2. Why are there work breaks?
3. What is your working style.
4. Your skills and hobbies that characterize your professional quality and so on.

Question number 3. What questions do you have for us

Once the employer's representative has finished asking questions, he will ask you if you have any questions for him. Take this part of the interview seriously because it is very important.

Why? Because so many people neglect it. You, unlike them, want to know how to pass an interview, so you must use all the resources to solve the problem of how to get a job.

Here are some questions you can ask that an employer will appreciate:

1. What is your favorite job (part of the job) here?
2. What is the biggest problem you are currently facing?
3. Ask about a current event related to new job. “I read that you entered the market with a new product. How much has this affected your business?”
4. What is the most important lesson did you extract while working?
5. Tell me a little more about you, what do you enjoy doing outside of work? How does your team maintain corporate spirit? Are there cultural and sporting events?

The first three questions are pretty standard, but the last two really come as a surprise to the employer. Don't be surprised if you hear "Wow, I've never been asked this before, give me a second."

The last question opens a personal dialogue with the interviewer, which allows you to transfer the official dialogue to the status of a personal conversation. Plus, it will give you additional information that you can include in your thank you letter.

Say thanks

Be sure to send a letter (e-mail) with gratitude to everyone with whom you communicated at interviews. Include in the text of the letter a personal attitude towards each interviewer, what was useful to you during the interview process. In order to find out the right e-mail, always ask for a business card at the end of the interview.

What to do if the employer has not responded

It also happens that the employer for some reason did not notify you of decision. What to do in this case? If you really want to get a job, you need to remind yourself.

The rule of thumb for waiting is one business week. If the interview took place on a Tuesday, pause, and if you don't get a response by the following Tuesday, send a reminder, which should be concise:

Good afternoon, Ivan Ivanovich! Hope you have a great week!

I wanted to know if there was anything else I could help with regarding the review process for my resume. If so, please let me know!

Sincerely,

Peter Petrovich.

If you don't get a response after 3-4 days, it's time to move on.

What to do if the employer refused to conduct an interview

Well, I do not! We are not finished! We want to be interviewed for the job!

If the employer thinks that you are not qualified enough to apply for an existing job, send him an email:

Good afternoon, Ivan Ivanovich.

Thanks again for answering me this afternoon. I really appreciate your feedback and I would like to add one last thing to what was said before.

I fully understand your concerns regarding my work experience. You're right that I didn't have it to a significant extent. However, this is not due to an inability to produce results, but rather a lack of opportunity to demonstrate such an ability.

While my experience may not match the initial expectations of a job applicant, I have two qualities that are just as important. First of all, I am a very efficient learner, and I am also very efficient in putting what I have learned into practice. Secondly, I am much more persistent than the average worker. My career has always depended on these two qualities.

I left college becoming a biologist with no experience in digital marketing - all my knowledge came from self-study. When I was finally given the opportunity to put my knowledge into practice, I was instrumental in closing the second largest deal in the history of the company. I am sure that I can achieve the same success in a new position.

I have the resources I need to learn what it takes to be successful and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen.

Your company is known for hiring people who are able to acquire new knowledge for their subsequent implementation. This is my forte.

I do not insist that you make a positive decision. I'm just asking for the opportunity to be interviewed. If you give me the opportunity, I will not disappoint you.

Thanks again for your attention.

Sincerely,

Peter Petrovich.

Don't give up if the answer is "No". Try to determine why you received such a response, and then send an email to the hiring manager.

In conclusion

Take action every day to find a job, and do it so that trying to get a job is not a useless exercise, but an adventure, an opportunity to learn and learn something new.

If you initially take the position of the underdog, your experience is likely to be unsuccessful.

Remember to put yourself in the place of the employer. What kind of worker does he want to get? The answer to this question should be reflected in everything you do, from your resume to your interview.

Take your life into your own hands and get this job. You will be surprised at what you can achieve. Good luck!

Can I come to the interview in carrot-colored shorts? Yes. In three cases. The first is if you are the only specialist in your field. The second is when the employer absolutely does not care who to hire for this job. And the third - you yourself do not really want to be accepted. In other cases, you need to think carefully about how to successfully pass an interview, how to get a job correctly, and what color and style of clothes to choose.

If no one supports us, then we are forced to look for a source of existence in order to satisfy at least our basic needs. We need somewhere to live, something to eat and something to wear. This forces you to look for a job in order to earn money and satisfy at least your minimum needs.

Necessity is one side. But there is another - this is the pleasure that comes with the realization of one's properties, with the fulfillment of one's true desires. Before you pass an interview with an employer, you need to understand what drives us: the stick of which unsatisfied desires or the carrot of the realization of which particular innate properties? How to pass a job interview without knowing what you really want, without a clear desire to work in this particular place?

Without understanding yourself, you will find not what you need

At the training "Systemic Vector Psychology" we learn that all the desires that arise in us can be grouped into vectors. There are eight such vectors. All desires are provided with the ability to achieve them.

For example, the desires that come first for a person with a skin vector are related to showing their status and superiority, to make a career. Black BMW, expensive suit and watch latest model iPhone.

But ... different vectors - different desires. For the owner of the skin vector, a sports car is a joy. And for a person with an anal vector, the question immediately arises: “How do you fit a baby stroller in there? And how will we go to the dacha? And your beloved dog, what, will he stay at home? In the first place are completely different desires.

Without understanding ourselves, we have no guidelines to be able to choose the right job for us and prepare well for an interview. System-vector psychology offers a technique that allows you to understand yourself through a system of vectors.

A person with a skin vector is punctual, organized, purposeful. He is a good manager. If it turns out to organize a group of people on the way to the goal and even meet the deadline, he enjoys even more than from organizing only himself. If one job is missing, then you can look for the second and third. For a person with a skin vector, working three jobs at the same time is quite normal.

The desire to make a better career in the skin vector implies that there will be career opportunities in the job. And if this is not possible, then the work will not work. In the anal vector, it is important to be able to learn, gain experience and be able to pass it on. Not in the last place is the honor and respect of colleagues and superiors. But if we do not know what vectors are manifested in us, then what kind of work are we looking for?

Lack of understanding of ourselves leads to the fact that we are looking for work at random. And often we miss, we make mistakes, we accumulate negative experience. Lock a person with a visual vector in the office without normal communication with other people, so he will climb the wall from longing. And a person with an anal vector who tries to become a manager will find himself under the stress of multitasking, constant changes and the need to organize not only himself, but also other people. It doesn't have the right properties for that.

And it also happens that a person is tormented by the search for himself, his place in this world, as if in the depths there is a question: "What's the point of all this?" Sometimes people say this, meaning: unprofitable, low salary, too much or too little responsibility, colleagues at work are unfriendly and do not accept into their circle. But it happens that a person is really looking for an answer to the question: “What is the meaning of everything that happens in my life?” Even if he doesn't realize it.

He searches for the meaning of life in work, but does not find it, because for him the meaning is a much broader concept. Such a person may ask: “Why all this if we are going to die anyway? Why all this fuss and senseless joy? If it's all temporary, then what's the point?"

This is how a person with a sound vector manifests himself when he is looking for the meaning of life in the wrong place. It is impossible not to pay attention to desires in the sound vector - this leads to bad conditions, depression, up to the lack of desire to live. What kind of preparation for an interview is there ... You can learn more about finding yourself and your dream job for a person with a sound vector.

In order to successfully pass an interview, you need a desire to work and an understanding of yourself. Without it, our chances of success are greatly reduced. And even if, by coincidence, we are still hired, then when we don’t want to work or don’t understand what we want, after a while we quit such work.

Employers are people too

In addition to the desire to work and understanding yourself, one more component is needed in order to know how to behave correctly in an interview. If you understand yourself, then others also become understandable. We understand this on the basis of similarity or difference from ourselves.

A lot has been written about how to write a resume, what time to come to an appointment, how to answer questions, how to pass an interview, and much more. But how to recognize exactly who is sitting on the other side of the table in a few minutes is a very difficult task. And only system-vector psychology teaches you to understand the people with whom you communicate, to truly reveal them at a glance and a couple of words. At the interview, we are in contact with people, and it is very important to understand who is in front of us and how to communicate with him.

People are very different. You can’t write instructions on how to communicate with everyone and you won’t get enough advice. However, there are general patterns, knowing which, an interview with an employer can be turned from a terrible torment into an exciting adventure.

The same vectors that show up in us show up in the same way in those who hire us. To find out what you need to say at the interview, you need to determine the interlocutor by vectors. And here you do not need to study for five years as a psychologist in order to know the answer to the question of how to successfully pass an interview. Much becomes clear after free introductory online lectures on system-vector psychology.

Having determined, for example, the same skin vector in an interlocutor, one can understand that such a person values ​​time, does not like to be late and late. A concise answer is better for him than lengthy explanations. He doesn't need unnecessary details. Formal dress code is what he prefers to see at work. And he will not like the same carrot-colored shorts that we mentioned at the beginning of the article. He will perceive them as an unacceptable disregard for his status. There will be no substantive conversation.

If the person who accepts you at the interview has an anal vector, then it is better not to interrupt such a person. He doesn't like it. You need to give time for him to speak and ask a question. It is better to answer questions honestly - he appreciates it. If you don’t know something, then it’s better to say so, and not to get out and, moreover, not to try to deceive, assuring that you know more than you really do. Interest in details is very important in the work. This is how he evaluates professional suitability, especially if he himself is an expert in this field. And work experience is also important. And if we return to our shorts, then these clothes, in his opinion, are comfortable on the beach, but they do not belong at work. Each thing is appropriate in its environment.

If, when applying for a job, you come across a person with a sound vector, then the conversation will most likely be quiet. He hears very well, so he can speak quietly. If you do not reduce the volume of your voice, then it will annoy him. He will evaluate intellectual abilities. Roughly speaking, clever man in front of him or not, is he able to solve non-standard tasks or will he go for advice every time? Able to understand complex processes or not? Does he know the essence of the matter or just says he knows? If you manage to impress him with the depth of intellect, then he will not remember the carrot-colored shorts, if you did come in them, by the end of the conversation. After all, if there is intelligence, then what difference does it make what you are wearing?

Considering the above aspects, you can properly prepare for the interview. This preparation is universal. To define your desires, to understand yourself and those around you - it takes some time, but it is certainly worth it. The result will be a favorite work and the joy of realization. Is that why we are preparing for the interview?

“... I sent my resume to one of the leading German companies. And where did so much impudence come from, six months ago I would not even dare to think. They called me and invited me for an interview. KZ bunch fussed "What to wear?" the anal acted, as it always does before important matters. To say that I was worried would be an understatement.

Came for an interview. I started looking at who was in front of me. And so I became calm. They, the first had a word. And by the way they spoke and what they said ... yes, not even like that. I knew who was sitting in front of me. I felt it internally. Here is the skin sounder. Dumu thinks and climbs out of his shell when he hears the word Excel. Here anal asks questions: “What is important to you? quality or quantity? And answered each in "their" language. Not manipulating, not pretending. Somehow automatically. 2 hours flew by without anyone noticing. I left with such a good feeling. We understood each other.

A few days later they called me. I got this place! They took me! ... "

“... The most striking change for me in my life after passing the first level of training at the moment was that I found a job. Or rather, not so. The job I always dreamed of found me...

…I started getting interview invitations to my job applications as a designer! And so, after another interview, I found what I had been waiting for so long. And my thin portfolio did not seem miserable to the employer, and they liked the completed tasks. So I am completely delighted, now I am doing what I always wanted to do, I work, study, draw. And my husband even said that he was proud of me, because I did not give up, no matter what ... "

IN constant search Ideal location can be difficult to work in one company for more than a few months. This is not to mention such categories of people as those who fell under layoffs or simply fired not of their own free will.

Applicants will be greatly helped by at least a minimum of skills, as well as theoretical knowledge regarding the features of employment. The process seems to be simple, and there is plenty of work even in times of crisis, but even here there are some nuances.

The more prestigious the position for which you are going to apply, the more difficult it will be to meet it by definition. A bunch of requirements, tests, contests, interviews...

The right choice of occupation!

The position of many applicants who are just starting their career is as follows: it doesn’t matter, in principle, what kind of work, as long as they pay normally. Partly true, if we assume that the person is a student. Firstly, it is unlikely to get a job in a future specialty without experience, or it is very difficult.

Secondly, as a rule, money is needed urgently. Claims about the specifics of the occupation and their status in the "green" young man can not yet arise. If the task is how to get a job without experience, you will first have to take on what they offer, or sit without money.

It would be wise to choose one of the most promising or interesting areas for you. Subsequently, it will be possible to continue working in the chosen field, and the existing experience will come in handy. If you are looking for a way to quickly get a job, any, as long as they pay money - picky and waste time looking for ideal option there is no point.

How to get a high paying job through recruiting agencies

The constant demand for employees and employers has generated a corresponding supply in the labor market. Numerous recruiting agencies are engaged in selecting personnel for companies that do not have the ability or desire to do the search on their own. For the applicant, this option is also quite acceptable, but there are a number of disadvantages.

It is beneficial for a recruiting agency to employ you as soon as possible in order to receive a reward. They do not always have the opportunity to arrange a job applicant for a good job in his understanding. They will select proposals from those currently available to them. Of course, taking into account your abilities, wishes and work experience. However, their interests here clearly prevail over yours.

In addition, the services of agencies, as a rule, are resorted to by firms that are looking for either highly specialized professionals or candidates for key positions. Such responsible positions require a particularly careful study of the characteristics of the candidate. Therefore, if you apply for such a position, you will have to be patient.

You will have to go through a series of interviews with a variety of people - both with employees of the recruiting agency, and with managers, as well as representatives of the security service of the employing company. The recruitment process can sometimes take months.

For middle managers and office workers, there are also common vacancies, but not in sufficient numbers to provide a wealth of choice. In addition, if your employment is successful, the agency will have to pay for the services.

Although this is an option on how to get a job, there are others, quite worthy alternatives. It will be free, but you will have to spend your time and effort. You will not be limited in your choice, on your own, without pressure from outside, you will be able to make informed decisions, fully control the search process and make your own adjustments!

How to quickly get a job through specialized Internet sites!

This is the most convenient way to get a job in a few days! Sites provide a wide variety of vacancies, for candidates with and without experience. Search by specified parameters allows you to quickly find all the offers that suit you.

Given that there are a couple of dozen or even more popular employment sites, any candidate has a chance to find a job to their liking here. You only need to register to be able to send feedback to potential employers. The downside is that the same vacancies are often duplicated on different Internet resources in order to reach a larger target audience.

The advantage of such resources is that, in addition to job advertisements, you can find interesting and useful information related to employment. For example, how to behave in an interview, what tricky questions interviewers like to ask, how to answer them correctly. You can create a database of your resumes, and send to different offers their most suitable options.

For communication, in addition to the functionality of the site, many employers indicate the phone numbers and email address of their employees responsible for personnel. There is an opportunity to clarify the details of interest, or once again remind about yourself if a response to your response does not come for a long time. It happens that the vacancy has already been closed, but the information on the site has not been updated, because the personnel officer is too busy or simply forgot. And a person waits and hopes in vain, instead of switching and working on other proposals.

If an employer is interested in quickly resolving the issue of an open vacancy, he will not make you wait if he considers your candidacy suitable. It happens that an invitation for an interview comes on the day of your response!

Job search through friends and relatives!

In deciding how to get a well-paid job, all means are good! An elementary survey of friends, acquaintances and relatives can often bring results. Especially if you are interested in those people who are already employed in a particular area or a particular company, they are satisfied with the salary and working conditions. This is the best recommendation. After all, no matter how bright prospects you draw in your head about the proposed work, reality, as life shows, does not always live up to expectations. You may simply not like the job, or relations with the authorities or the team will not work out ... As a result, the place will turn out to be just hellish for you.

Thus, you will have your own person, an insider, so to speak, who will agree to talk about all aspects of work in the company. You just have to decide if this is the right option. Even if they don’t have job offers at the moment, they will take note of you. Everyone needs valuable personnel, but you are probably an excellent candidate and just a cool guy (girl)! You have been known for a long time, they are even ready to recommend you as an employee!

Where to get money to start own business? This is the problem faced by 95% of new entrepreneurs! In the article, we have revealed the most relevant ways to obtain start-up capital for an entrepreneur. We also recommend that you carefully study the results of our experiment in exchange earnings:

Perhaps a recommendation from a friend or a positive reference from your uncle, the director, will someday be the answer to the question of how to get a high-paying job! After that, you will have to justify the trust!

There is no need to be shy to ask such questions, to be afraid to show your insolvency and the status of the unemployed. This happens all the time, to almost everyone, it's completely normal. Asking people you know for help with finding a job is appropriate. Who knows who will be more lucky? You with work, or your future leader with you!

Current vacancies of companies in social networks - subscribe to the news and do not miss the chance!

Now many companies, in addition to their own website, also have a corporate page in popular social networks. In addition to various informational content, information about newly opened vacancies is quite often posted there. Therefore, the target audience here is huge, there are good chances to find competent employees.

It is also possible for the applicant to follow the news of the company through social networks and wait for his chance for employment. It is enough to join the group, subscribe to updates, and wait for the appropriate offer to appear.

At the same time, you can ask questions to participants, many of whom will be employees, and get the necessary information about the specifics of working in the company. Social networks, in addition to interesting communication, are also a real way to get a good job!

A resume is the first step in getting to know a potential employer!

The first step in deciding how to get a job is to write a resume. This is your business card, which should provide a potential employer with comprehensive information about you as a potential employee. Therefore, when writing a resume, it is important to make it as interesting as possible and reflect your best qualities.

From your resume, it should already be clear that you are an almost ideal candidate for the position. Also, all the information you provide must be true. Or learn to lie and embellish without blushing, but consider the possibility that you may be checked to confirm the information.

Apart from general information, the resume should reflect, in addition to your work experience (if you already have it) and education, also your personal qualities, which candidates rarely do. This will allow you to be judged as a person who knows himself well, representing a mature personality. However, do not overdo it with this, indicate all the information reliably. The next stage will be an interview, where you will need to confirm all the information submitted by honestly answering the interviewer's questions.

A resume photo is required. Many employers even ask for a profile social network to get to know you better before we meet. With this in mind, edit your page in such a way that you get an exceptionally positive impression of you.

The sphere of your interests, hobbies, hobbies, playing sports will characterize you as a person with an active lifestyle. State this even if you are not really an athlete at all. An active lifestyle is welcome in all its manifestations, follow the trends at least to create the desired look.

The standard resume form can be modified or embellished. An infographic is perfect for this. It is perceived better than the standard footcloth with solid text, and is very popular as a method of presenting information. In addition, it will be clear to the personnel officer that, among other advantages, you have creative potential. This is especially useful if the intended job requires similar qualities from the employee. Even if not, your letterhead will be favorably distinguished by its unusualness, at first sight it will attract attention. It is quite possible that after that you will not even want to look at other forms.

You should not print a ten-page resume, even if it will be yours. real experience. Keep in mind that the first person to see it will be the HR officer, who is unlikely to be very interested in a detailed study of your biography. This can still be allowed if you are applying for the position of a top manager. If not, highlight the main, and remove the information that is not of particular value from your eyes.

You will be asked specific questions already during the interview, and there will be an opportunity to tell about your experience in more detail. As a result, you should have a short, informative, easy-to-read resume. Having studied which, the employer will form an opinion about you as an employee suitable for a number of parameters.

If you are deciding how to get a job by considering several positions, it is worth doing several different resumes for every case. In them, reflect the information that will best suit a particular position.
