The job search<\/strong> is a complex and not always straightforward process. Some employers won’t get back to you, others require several years of work experience<\/strong>. Here are some universal tips to help you speed up and simplify your job search.<\/p>\n

Find out what you really want to do<\/h2>\n

Everyone is good at something. If you don’t know what your “something” is, you have to find out first. The best solution is to look at what you enjoy for a start. What do you like to do in your free time? Nowadays you can make a living from almost anything. You just need to be fulfilled by it and be really good at it. So try not to jump from one area to another. Pick one and get better at it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Do you enjoy working on the computer? Try something at home, or find a company that accepts juniors or provides internships for students. At msg life Slovakia<\/a> we also accept beginners and help them to improve through courses. When you do what you enjoy, everything goes much easier. Not only the actual doing of the work, but also learning new things. It makes the whole process more fun and natural.<\/p>\n

Develop work experience on your CV<\/h2>\n

Stagnation is unacceptable in any area. There is no one who knows everything and has nothing new to learn. If you think you know every piece of information within your field, you’re making a mistake somewhere. Employers want people who are able to continuously learn and develop their skills. They also value people with both theoretical and practical knowledge in several fields. The more you know, the better.<\/p>\n

This internet age allows you to learn from anywhere and often for free. Find interesting articles, research or books. Listen to podcasts and take courses, which are often free or for a very small fee. If you know English, try Udemy or Coursera. We have summarized the programming courses in the article Programming Tips for Beginners<\/a>. If you don’t have IT experience but want to work in IT, check it out.<\/p>\n

English and languages in general are very important when looking for a job. Many employers will require you to have some language skills. Usually B1 is sufficient (in msg life Slovakia we are interested in German language level in a CV<\/a>), but sometimes B2 or even C1 is needed. When you know you have gaps in your vocabulary or grammar, try to improve it. Download free apps to learn a foreign language or get books. If you want results in a few weeks, choose tutoring.<\/p>\n

At msg life Slovakia, we strive to ensure that our employees do not become stagnant. That’s why we offer you English and German language courses (check out Why learn the German language<\/a> article) among other employee benefits<\/a>. Developing job skills and abilities on a resume<\/a> is desirable. The advantage is that further education is not at all demanding. You have unlimited resources at your disposal, so why not use them?<\/p>\n

Keep up to date with new trends in the labour market<\/h2>\n

This point is closely associated with continuous learning and skill development. Some areas are moving forward faster, others more slowly. No matter what field you belong to, keep up to date with all the news<\/strong>. Have any new devices or software started to be used in companies? Find out what they are and what you will need to understand them.<\/p>\n

New trends sometimes require studying information from books and proven sources. Other times they require retraining<\/strong>, which you should do before looking for a new job. Otherwise, employers won’t be interested in you.<\/p>\n

You have to do something to get new information in the field – it won’t come to you on its own. There are many options. Sometimes you just need to follow the general events. If you need more, start reading websites focused on your field of work<\/strong>. A third alternative is to follow some social media profiles that give you brief but important information.<\/p>\n

Tell the world you’re a jobseeker<\/h2>\n

If your field of work allows it, manage your advert<\/strong> by placing it on multiple websites. Some are free, others cost a few euros a month. However, they are worth investing in because they show employers that you are currently looking for a job.<\/p>\n

You can also post your job search ad on Facebook and in various groups<\/strong>. Many areas and types of employment have groups where you can find your potential employer. LinkedIn is also a great professional social networ<\/strong>k where you can edit your profile so that anyone who visits knows you’re open to new opportunities.

Show interest in working for a specific company<\/h2>\n

Haven’t found an advert that interests you? Choose a specific company in your area and contact them. Some have forms for interested parties. If you cannot find them, it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t mean you can’t show that you are interested. Email the organization or contact them by phone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, the first option is better in some ways because you can add a CV and cover letter<\/a> to the email. In addition, you can be sure that you will be communicating with a competent person. Usually it’s a recruiter or someone who is in charge of hiring people.<\/p>\n

Finding a job on the internet<\/h2>\n

The job market <\/strong> is wide nowadays and thanks to digitalization, you can also search for a job via the internet <\/strong> The best solution is a website oriented towards providing job offers. They often give you the option of subscribing to a newsletter, which the job seeker<\/strong> can customize to their exact liking and requirements.<\/p>\n

Many of these websites have social networks like Instagram or Facebook as well. They post the latest job offers<\/a> on their profiles. So sometimes it’s worth watching them there as well. You can also find jobs on employers’ official websites, so if you want to have your dream job<\/strong>, keep an eye on this site regularly. You’ll find out if they’re looking for someone with your work experience<\/strong>, skills and focus.<\/p>\n

Start following employers in your field on social media. Some are putting new job offers there as well. There is also an option to follow hashtags on Instagram. Maybe this will help you in some way. Put some of your energy into your job search and browse the web regularly<\/strong>. Type different keywords into the search engine, such as “work + your job” or “career + job”.<\/p>\n
