I want to say at once, the word «crisis» is quite possible to exclude from the title, but since it has now become incredibly popular, I also decided not to stand out from the trend. And then, I like it! After all, what crisis? The crisis - a change in the usual conditions. And any change always brings new opportunities, those that did not exist before. Crisis - an opportunity to go beyond the usual and look a little further, and much more.
So, you're unemployed. I will not talk about the pros of this condition and that you have the opportunity (hell, she again!) Finally do all those things that you constantly put off, being a person employed, ie employees. But I am still tempted to explicitly define at least a few ...
You've read the book long ago? No, not professional literature, and the normal art, which is now sold in large quantities. Certainly, in your «stop list» has already gained a dozen books ...
And the theater has long been? And in a movie? And at the exhibition? But just in the park when they were in last time? So, to pass, rustling leaves, smell the grass, feed the ducks ... and then you can sit in a small cozy cafe for a cup of something hot and slowly (!!!), directly at the table, read the very book from the stop list ...
I do not yet convinced? Well, let's get back to work, you still want to get. To begin with, what to look for it is not necessary ... she will find you. This, of course, no one suggests that you sit and wait for the knock at the door of your future employers, to invite the company of your dreams. Some actions still need to make.
For a start, formalize and formulate on paper a very clear criteria for what you want (so you may find it easier to distinguish between «your» work on «your no»), and most importantly - will request has been made your expectations. Criteria may include: the scope of the company, staff, location, level of s / n (I recommend to specify the minimum to which you are willing to accept), functional, etc. The more the better. They wrote, put a sheet and proceed to the next stage.
Accommodation summary. First posted on all known sites to find work. Then, you need to send it to the largest possible number of recruitment agencies, always with a cover letter in which you specify what kind of work you are specifically interested in (see our leaflet). I advise you to indicate the level of salary expectations - it will help managers navigate the employment agency in the vacancies, which may be of interest to you and save you and your time.
The next stage, which can be done in parallel - is a daily monitoring of new vacancies. To do this, you do mailing of the summary, either directly from the site, or using personal e-mail. Advise prozvanivatsya for each vacancy to which you sent your resume and find out your interest in the employer. It happens that HR managers miss the summary, or, for some reason, lay it in reserve. Your call just may all be clarified. Also, HRy like active candidates. So be active!
So in summary can be found in the phrase - the spacecraft will not disturb! And why? Are they there are no interesting jobs? Not at all ... with agencies usually cooperate with the company has already released at a certain financial level (their services are not cheap) and are usually quite large. Are they not interested in you?
If you are afraid of wasting their time for nothing ... afraid manager of spacecraft also not interested in spending their meetings with unsuitable candidates. And if you were invited - hurray! - You are interested in as a professional.
There is still a very important point that needs to understand - you already have a job. Perhaps it even more than ever. Your job now is to communicate. Ongoing, intensive and systematic. Here's what one must strive, and that aim at! Could not find work as such, and communication with the largest possible number of potential employers. Do not refuse any one from you soon! Forget your leaf, it is the only criterion for consent to work, but not at the meeting.
Go to the interview on the job with obviously low wages for you - it can raise, talk to you. Go to the interview in the company, which is three hours away from your home - it may be several offices. Go to a company with uninteresting to you the scope and functionality. Does not clarify the details of the phone - go to the meeting. The main thing for you - work out the skill of interviewing. This requires a large number of interviews, which sooner or later turn into quality.
And the less interesting for your company, the greater the chance that you could do it, because you're not nervous (no matter where you are not working, what's the difference what they think about you), behave naturally and easily. And this is the best thing you can do in this situation.
And even if you are behind hundreds of interviews, do not refuse the offer to come to talk to the company unattractive to you, the uninteresting position of a small wage - it can happen anywhere ...
The owner may have several with different activities. Head, sobeseduyuschy you can go to another place and invite you with me (I know such cases). You may unexpectedly offer another post and even to formulate it under you (and many such cases).
In general, I agitate for communication, communication, and again communication. Be the most open and friendly. Keen interest in the company in which you came. Ask clarifying questions, listen carefully and let the interlocutor know that you are interested in what he says. People love to talk about themselves. Most of us likes to talk about themselves. But not everyone, but only those who know how to listen properly. Let's become thereby the listener!
In addition, you will receive information about the company, where you may be working, you will win the sympathy of your counterparts, thereby increasing their chances of obtaining a job. Do not you like to win? Start with small and almost meaningless to you wins. Think of it as preparation for the «master» the battle. In any case, you get good skills: negotiation skills, listening skills and skill of self-presentation. And leave in a good mood, pleased with ourselves, moreover, leave a good impression. Is not that the main result of communication?
I also want to focus on the following: you should not cling to the attractive and very attractive place for you. Communicate in normal mode and do not let yourself «quake» from the desire to get this job. At the interview stage, it is impossible to see and understand all the nuances of the company. And even if fate will have you on the occasion and satisfy your craving, not the fact that in a month at the new place you'll be well pleased, as the first day.
Therefore provide own work to find you. And when she appears, you are sure it will feel, see and hear ... do not even doubt it! And if still in doubt - read your leaflet. Like? Well, I congratulate you and good luck in the new place!
