HOW TO PREPARE YOUR JOB HUNT

Are you looking for a new professional challenge or your first job? Whether you are a beginner or an experienced job seeker, job hunting can be quite demanding.

Here’s our quick guide to how to organise your job hunt.

1. Write the good CV

Design a clear and visually appealing structure of your CV. Begin with your personal data, your employment history and your education, followed by key skills, additional qualifications as well as your hobbies and interests. Stay brief and do not exceed maximum two A4 pages (depending on your seniority).

2. Tailor your cover letter

Always remember to tailor your cover letter to the job you are applying for. It should not exceed a length of one A4 page with 3-4 paragraphs.

3. Focus on what’s important during your job hunt

In general job hunting consists of two parts: searching and applying for jobs. You can concentrate on the following steps during your job hunt: networking, researching companies, applying to job offers and searching for job opportunities online.

4. Follow companies

Once you follow a company, you get their latest jobs included in your Job alert email or any blog news. This will help you to stay up-to-date and to reduce your time spent searching for jobs.

5. Research companies to gain an advantage over your competitors

Become familiar with a company before applying for them. Take your time to learn more on the company history and their general role in the business world.

6. Create your job alerts

Job alerts help you to stay in the loop on the job market.
Creating job alerts will send you a daily email with the latest job offers tailored to your preferred field of work.

7. Prepare yourself for a job interview

Take time before the interview to prepare yourself well for any question that could be asked.
The questions employers ask will always refer to the information in the job description like the duties and requirements.
Don’t forget to prepare questions to ask the interviewer as well.

Good luck!
