How to get a job?

At any time in life, regardless of individual conditions, technical skills and knowledge, and one's work history, getting a job always causes a significant level of stress and uncertainty, even more so in increasingly complex and volatile situational situations. economy in recession and threatening unemployment.

The first and necessary step to successfully get a job is self-discovery and individual analysis. Who am I and what are my priorities? Recognizing them allows the candidate to create an inventory of the competencies, skills and strengths that he or she has to undertake the process. This exercise of introspection will enable the individual to determine what motivates him and decide which are the particular aspects that he considers fundamental in a job. In addition, it will give you the opportunity to identify the ideas you have about yourself as a professional, about the world of work and about each industry in particular, and to reflect on how these beliefs influence your professional development.

It is evident how, in recent years, technology has revolutionized the way of getting a job. True icons of this new wave, social networks, such as LinkedIn, gained notable prominence in the job search process. Portals and media for web job offers, professional virtual networks, personal contacts, human resources consultancies specialized in selection, universities and educational institutions, and print media are the main channels for searching for employment. 

Individual experience and the professional goals pursued will determine how much focus and energy to allocate to each of them. Once the means have been identified and selected, the most important thing is to execute the strategy to obtain employment systematically and consistently.

For anyone looking to get a job, their resume is usually one of the first things they focus on. However, this task is often carried out without having adequate knowledge about the purpose of the resume or how recruiters and companies use it and what they expect from it. 

The main objective of the resume is to capture the attention of the recruiter, make him interested in the candidate's profile and make him want to interview him to get to know him in a more comprehensive way, since the resume gives a partial idea of ​​the candidate because it does not show how he behaves or how is expressed. 

While the information in the application (résumé, cover letter or data entered in a form) allows the recruiter to get an initial idea of ​​the candidate, the interview allows for a broader understanding of their abilities, knowledge and potential suitability. 

The interview is a decisive factor for hiring. Contrary to what is sometimes believed, it is not a unilateral interrogation, but an opportunity to maintain a dialogue with the selector. Therefore, it is appropriate for both parties to share information and ask questions.

It is evident that the process of finding a job requires planning, methodology and a lot of perseverance. Now, when the desired goal is finally achieved, what happens next? How does the story continue?

We repeatedly face people who are distressed by their lack of success in the job search process. They attribute their failures to not knowing where to find opportunities, how to successfully pass a job interview or how to present themselves in a more attractive way to those they select. However, they usually ignore and omit the first and most important thing: knowing what they want at work. 

There is no ideal job for those who are not clear about what they are looking for and want in their field of work. Strictly speaking, the only true ideal job is one where one finds passion, purpose and meaning in their daily task.
