Finding a job that we are passionate about is everyone's dream and it is possible to achieve it if you approach your search in an intelligent way from the beginning.
In that way? Of course, it's not about handing out CVs like crazy, nor about applying to all the offers you think you might fit in with. Doing it that way will not only waste time and energy, but you will probably find some but leave it in a short time.
So, even if it takes you a little longer in your search, follow these tips and apply for a job for which you are really cut out:
- Do you remember the personal brand? If you read about this topic, you can imagine that the first thing is to develop your own. When you know what you are good at and what is “unique” that you can offer, you will know which offers to apply for and which ones not to apply.
- Your personal network: This point is also related to personal branding and it is that to apply for better jobs, it is good to do it with people you know, so they can recommend you because they know your work and they know what you are good at.
- The value of social networks: Networks are not only used to watch videos of kittens or to post photos of your last vacation, they can find interesting offers if you follow brands or companies that interest you.
- Let your CV speak for you: Have you already put together your resume? Read here and do it the best way; Having a good CV will also help make your search more effective.
- Be a volunteer: Working as a volunteer is a good way to make yourself known and why not, be selected to work in a company later, plus you will learn many things!
- Have a professional social life: Another way to find out about possible job offers is through training. Taking workshops, courses and diplomas not only strengthens your CV, but also expands your network of contacts for future jobs.
- Your best date: Just as in love, when you go to a professional interview you have to give the best impression. Before attending, study about the company and its dress codes; During the interview, be friendly, positive and enthusiastic, watch your body language and be open to conversation. Avoid criticizing other companies, former bosses or colleagues, do not tell lies about your professional past and do not ask about salary in the first interview.
With these tips and confidence in yourself, things can't go wrong. Look for the job you want and if you haven't yet applied to be our next intern, start taking tests on our networks! We are looking for interns in various professions.
