Finding a new job is difficult and the path is littered with obstacles. When looking for a new career, the same doubts usually arise. Here are the most frequently asked questions about your job search:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The CV should be long enough to explain concisely and factually why you are the right candidate for the job, without superfluous explanations and paraphrases. With the usual font size and spaces, the CV should be at least one and at most two A4 pages long.<\/p>\n
The longer your work experience, the longer the list of jobs on your CV. Add to that personal achievements and references, and the CV mutates into a gobbledygook that is not always understandable. Unfortunately, it's no longer enough to develop a standard CV and use it for every job application. If you really want a job, you should highlight the relevant points of your working life to show why you are particularly suited to the position. Less relevant events and achievements can be summarised to avoid making the CV too long.<\/p>\n
Leisure activities should only be mentioned if they are in some way relevant to the job advertised. Companies usually look for multi-talented employees, but not necessarily those who have too many other interests.<\/p>\n
In the past, a cover letter was necessary to differentiate you from the other applicants and to highlight why you are suitable for the job, because the same CV was used for each application. Nowadays, however, since the CV is prepared individually for each application, such a cover letter is superfluous.<\/p>\n
Social media encourages sharing and posting, especially of provocative comments. You can be sure that your social media profile will be checked by your potential employer, so either delete any risky posts or reduce your privacy settings to friends and family before job hunting. Also, please make sure your profile photo is presentable.<\/p>\n
Referrals are good from clients, supervisors and colleagues. If you ask for recommendations, ask for them in an email or in any other written form, because that way no one can back out.<\/p>\n
You can expect to receive at least one formal letter in response to your application. However, many employers save themselves the trouble if they get lost in a flood of applications. So don't take it personally.<\/p>\n
No, you don't have to. You just have to observe the usual notice period. Basically, you should be as open with your boss as he or she is with you. So if you have always been treated fairly, it would be fair to tell the boss well in advance of your job search.<\/p>\n
When it comes to recommendations, ask your current colleagues, but those who no longer work there. Do not tell anyone at your workplace that you are looking for a new job. Only use personal contact details, not a company email or phone. Make it clear that you are working full time, so are limited with the times you can be interviewed.<\/p>\n
Absolutely! You can always turn it down. You will only know for sure whether you want the job or not after you have had a personal interview. Each additional interview is an important experience for you.<\/p>\n\n\n Job dissatisfaction: What you can do about it<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
