How to find a job quickly - important tips when looking for a job. How to find and get a good job

Where and how to look for a job? How to quickly get a good job without education or experience? How to find a job you like?

We will tell you what steps you need to take to resolve the issue of employment in a short time.

Even a difficult time of economic crisis is not a reason to give up. And in difficult times, it is quite possible to find a job, you just need to know where and how to look.

This article will be useful both for people who have little work experience behind them, and for experienced specialists in their field. Everyone will find many useful and effective tips for finding their dream job.

So let's begin!

1. How to find a good job and where to start searching

According to the Ministry of Labor, an increase in unemployment was recorded over the past month (January 2016) in most regions of the Federation. The Ministry of Economic Development predicts an increase in the number of unemployed by 400-450 thousand people this year.

This number can be safely added to the 3.9 million people who are already registered as unemployed citizens.

However, surveys of personnel services also inspire some optimism: a quarter of all companies plan to increase their staff this year, although they plan to hire only the most energetic and competent employees. How to find a job in such a situation? Where to look for work in Moscow, St. Petersburg and other cities?

Where do you even start looking?

The first thing you will have to learn for yourself is that you will have to look for a job on your own - no one will do it for you. Although you shouldn't rely too much on the help of friends and relatives, telling them that you are looking for a job is your first priority. Do not overestimate the help of employment agencies: they are certainly useful, but they have their own interests and not each of them fulfills their functions 100%.

First decide a few important questions for yourself:

What kind of job do you want to find?
What schedule suits you?
What salary are you expecting?
Will you be able to work away from home and what is your acceptable daily travel time?
Will work change your quality of life for the better?

Having decided on priorities, you can begin to take specific actions. If you know exactly what you want, you'll be less likely to get a job that you'll want to quit in your first week.

And it’s also worth immediately identifying unpromising areas - places where, firstly, they are not waiting for you, and secondly, even if they are, they will offer the minimum salary.

A couple of years ago, the most unpromising career fields were considered to be: science, public utilities, culture, sports, and security. Today, according to experts, a recession threatens banking and tourism. This will significantly increase female unemployment.

According to forecasts, a decrease in the number of mortgage loans issued could reduce construction, causing an increase in unemployment among men.

The male part of the population has nothing to “catch” in the automobile industry either (at some factories there is already only one shift left, and wages have fallen by 20%). Personnel in the auto sales sector will be reduced, although some increase in vacancies in the auto repair business is expected.

Stagnation in the catering sector will drive thousands of waiters and cooks onto the street. Unemployment will increase among makeup artists, stylists, cosmetologists, and hotel industry workers. Among office workers, a reduction in lawyers and economists is expected due to overproduction over the past 2-3 years.

All other areas are relatively promising.

2. Where to quickly find a job or part-time job

There are quick ways to find a job for students and people without experience. In this section, we have collected practical tips that will help those who need quick money but do not have professional skills find temporary employment.

For a student with no experience

There are thousands of offers on the Internet for graduates and university students. You shouldn’t be particularly happy about the number of offers: not all vacancies promise truly stable income. Students are usually offered low-paid and labor-intensive activities:

promoter;
courier;
waiter;
sales manager;
animator;
security guard (watchman).

Some types of work involve exclusively seasonal employment, which is ideal for students during the summer holidays. With the advent of the World Wide Web, job searches have become much easier and more effective. Now it has become easier for a student without work experience to find a vacant position. We have already written, this article also discusses options for making money via the Internet for young people.

Few people continue to use printed publications (although it is too early to discount newspapers and magazines dedicated to vacancies): just go to the resource and get acquainted with the offers that are already sorted into categories and sections. You can even create a detailed resume and post it on job search portals, perhaps employers will choose your candidacy themselves.

Without education

Work without education involves approximately the same vacancies as in the case of student part-time work - couriers, security guards, waiters, loaders, workers in supermarket sales areas. Do not count on special generosity from employers and do not rush to respond to the first offer that comes your way.

First, study all the vacancies that you like, make a list of offers that interest you, arranging them in order of personal attractiveness.

Weigh all the pros and cons and don’t be afraid to say “no” to the employer if the vacancy for some reason no longer interests you (far from home, night shifts and other nuances). Don't be afraid if you are offered pre-training. This way you will gain experience and skills that may be useful in the future.

Even after getting a job as an intern, you can be persistent and quickly get a more lucrative position in the same company. We have already published an article on part-time jobs on our website, we recommend that you read it.

In a crisis

The difficult economic situation is making adjustments to our lives. Above we have already provided statistics on unemployment and layoffs in certain areas. At the moment, there is a clear imbalance of supply and demand in Moscow, St. Petersburg, Novosibirsk, and other cities of the Russian Federation.

How to find a job during a crisis? There is only one option - to be active in searching for vacancies: post your resume not on one Headhanter site, but on at least 3-5 portals. Employers' budgets for searching for workers are also limited, and searches through recruitment agencies are mostly paid for by employers.

The right approach to finding a job is half or even most of the success.

It is not so important whether you have experience and knowledge, whether you have graduated from a university or only 9 years of school, the main factor is: self-confidence, awareness, desire to develop and improve. Our tips will also help you find a good job - read them carefully and be sure to put them into practice.

Tip 1. Be persistent and methodical - do you want to SEARCH for a job or FIND one?

Perseverance, methodicality, a systematic approach and theoretical preparation are the leading factors of success. Decide what you really want - search work or find her?

“I’m looking for a job” is a good psychological shield against claims from family members and relatives. Do not forget that you need to look for a job only in order to find one, improve your quality of life and change your financial status.

Important: job search is also a kind of work! You should approach this as seriously and responsibly as you would any other job. Once you have compiled your resume, do not forget to update it and post it on several sites. Send it to all employers who are at least theoretically interested in you. It doesn’t matter if you seem pushy—companies, as a rule, value persistent and energetic employees.

A good example

One of our acquaintances named Victor has been looking for a job for about a year and a half, but has not yet found a place.

Searching for vacancies became his kind of daily ritual. He regularly looked at job search sites, wrote down phone numbers and details of companies, and often called potential employers. Sometimes I even went to interviews.

Even if he was quite satisfied with the salary and other factors, he still found some point where the job was not suitable for him.

The boss is a woman, the office is in a non-prestigious area, there is no water cooler in the workplace. In other words, Victor simply did not want to get a job, but wanted to look for one and create the appearance of activity.

With this approach, the chances of improving your life are certainly minimal.

Tip 2. What is better to choose – a highly paid job or a job you like?

The ideal, of course, is to have a well-paid job that you enjoy. But in practice, a highly profitable place is not always to your liking.

The question raised in the title of this paragraph is decided by everyone individually.

Psychologists insist that it is better to do what you like, even if this business does not immediately bring high income.

Firstly, any job involves the development of professional skills. Perhaps the salary is not too high at the moment, but by increasing your qualifications and level, you can always count on an increase in income.
Secondly, going to a job that you don’t like, like going to hard labor, experiencing negative emotions, is harmful to your health.

The immune system directly depends on our psycho-emotional state: it has been proven that people who do things they don’t like and perceive work as a “necessary evil” are more likely to develop infectious and chronic diseases.

A person spends a significant part of his life at work. Do you want to be constantly depressed, complain about life, sleep poorly and count the minutes until the end of the working day? We are sure not.

So, make a choice in favor of the vacancy that you personally like, and not your husband (wife, mother-in-law, dad, mom).

Tip 3. Use as many different job search options as possible

Diversify your search as much as possible. The more job search methods you use, the higher your likelihood of success. In the next section of the article we will look at them more carefully, identifying the advantages (and possible disadvantages) of each of them.

There are certain rules for writing a resume that you should follow if you want to impress the employer as a prepared, motivated and serious person. A resume is the first thing an employer bases his conclusions on when considering a specific applicant’s candidacy.

The summary should be:

Concise and containing only relevant and important information. The employer usually does not have time to read your extensive and detailed essays, so the information should be posted as concisely, effectively, and correctly as possible. You should not describe your life path in the “about yourself” column, starting from kindergarten. It should contain information that is useful to the employer, emphasizing your professional merits or demonstrating your ability to work in a team.
Written without errors or logical inconsistencies. Even if you are hired as a turner at a factory, you must show yourself to be a competent and responsible person: fortunately, nowadays it is not difficult to check a text for errors. The ability to present information in a logical and structured manner is a quality that is valued in any position.
Well designed. Each column in this document is assigned a specific place. If you write about your professional and personal qualities in one section or are careless in the formatting of your resume, HR specialists are unlikely to bombard you with invitations for an interview.

The resume must include: personal and contact information, wishes for future work, experience, professional skills, education, existing awards and professional diplomas.

The scammers, in this case, are companies that either want you to work for free or are hoping to get your money. Online fraud is especially common. It is not easy to distinguish honest employers from scammers: scammers know how to inspire trust and make an impression.

The truest rule

If someone wants you to transfer a certain amount of money to a certain account (a down payment, a loyalty check, payment for textbooks or materials), you are most likely being scammed.

Tip 7. Prayer for work is your additional helper

A prayer-appeal to the Orthodox Saint Spyridon of Trimifunt helps believers find a good job.

This saint and miracle worker, who lived at the beginning of our era, helps those in need gain confidence, independence, and find their life’s work.

They pray to Saint Spyridon during troubles in life, financial difficulties, and lack of work.

4. Effective ways to find a job - TOP 7 popular options

Here we provide effective ways to find a job. With their help, you can cover the maximum number of vacancies and offers.

1) Personal contacts: relatives, friends, social networks

Statistics show: 40% of employees find employment in small companies through acquaintance through friends, relatives or through social networks. Simply by posting a job search message in your status on Facebook or VKontakte, you will significantly increase your chances of finding a job through close or distant acquaintances.

Notify your surroundings that you are looking for a vacant position and word of mouth will become your assistant in this matter.

2) Professional communities

Professional communities are both a new and well-known phenomenon to humanity. This is the name given to a group of people who are engaged in a certain field of activity and regularly exchange experiences and contacts with each other, and jointly develop the most effective methods for solving professional problems.

Often, representatives of such communities also exchange information about vacancies, vacant positions and other information useful for a person looking for a job.

3) Newspapers free advertisements

Printed publications are already somewhat outdated, but still a valid way of finding a job. The main category of people who use free classified newspapers are older people, conservative people who do not trust modern technologies. Some companies that publish job listings in newspapers duplicate them on Internet sites.

4) Online job search sites

The most relevant method today. There are dozens of sites on the Internet that daily update lists of hundreds of vacancies in all possible areas of work activity. Proper use of online portals will allow you to find a job quickly and for free.

The most popular job sites:

Job.ru- a popular portal for job seekers and employers. A very simple interface of the site will allow you to easily and simply wait for employers to call you. Registration and writing a resume on the site will take no more than 20 minutes.
Headhunter(hh.ru) - this convenient, functional and up-to-date site operates in every city, has hundreds of thousands of vacancies listed (depending, of course, on the population) and several million resumes from applicants from all over Russia;
Indeed(ru.indeed.com) is an equally popular portal designed for an audience of job seekers of all ages and specialties. Its convenience is that it collects data on a given vacancy from various Internet portals. The developers have also made a convenient mobile application.
Avito(avito.ru) is an all-Russian site of free advertisements, where, among others, there are sections for searching for work in the city of your residence: “vacancies” and “service offers”;
"Yandex Work"(rabota.yandex.ru). A special job search service from Yandex, the most popular search engine in RuNet.
Rabota.ru- a well-known specialized site.

These are just the most popular sites; there are many of them you can find on the Internet. It's also worth paying attention to your local city portals. Very often they also publish advertisements from local employers.

It is better to view vacancies starting on Monday, tracking new offers every morning. Possible “disadvantages” of this method include large number applicants per offer.

5) Monitoring of vacancies on company websites and targeted distribution of resumes

If you are a specialist in any profession or dream of working in a specific company, make your search more targeted: you can monitor vacancies on the resources of companies that interest you and send your own resume to their HR departments.

A completely reliable and productive method of finding a job, especially if you have something to interest the employer. Competition between employers in market conditions is very high: they also try not to lose valuable employees.

6) Recruitment agencies

Recruitment agencies work through recruiters: you leave them your resume, they search for an employer. Be careful - not all recruitment agencies are “clean” - among them there are often scammers or simply companies that do not perform their work at the proper level.

7) Own website

Another modern and relevant method of job search. True, your own website will help if you have something to offer the employer - your high qualifications, confirmed by examples of completed work (portfolio), your abilities for a certain activity.

Having your own website is especially useful in finding remote work as a designer, copywriter, marketing and advertising specialist.

Comparative table of the effectiveness of various job search methods:

№	Search method	Cost	Reaching employer audiences	Search time
1	Relatives, friends, acquaintances	For free	Small	Typically from 3 days to a month
2	Professional communities	For free	Small, targeted	Several months
3	Newspapers	Ad cost	Big	Unlimited

5	Own website	Cost of creating a website	Limited	Unlimited
7	Monitoring vacancies on company websites	For free	Limited, targeted	Unlimited
8	Recruiting agency	Free / or part of the first salary	Big	Several weeks

5. How to get a job - 7 popular areas of employment

Many people want to get a prestigious job. In this section, we looked at the most popular areas of elite employment.

To the police

New personnel will always be in demand by law enforcement agencies: the work is hard, dangerous, but, of course, necessary. There are almost no delays in police salaries, and the employees themselves have an impressive list of benefits and privileges provided by law. But not everyone is hired to serve in the police.

An almost mandatory condition is military service, impeccable health, and good physical shape. What matters is emotional stability, which is tested at the initial stage of candidate selection through testing.

Young people of any gender aged 18-35 are recruited to serve as police officers. The educational requirements of candidates depend on the position for which they are applying. A specialized education will certainly not be superfluous if you are thinking about career growth.

In the FSB

Theoretically, citizens of the Russian Federation who, due to their professional, physical, personal qualities, as well as age and education, can fulfill official duties can become FSB employees. In addition to the list of required documents, candidates are required to pass:

Psychophysical testing for resistance to stress.
Tests for drug and psychoactive substance use.
Physical fitness check.
Medical examination.

In addition, all future employees of the Security Service must undergo access to State Secrets.

To Gazprom

Gazprom is the most profitable and stable company in the country, an influential player not only in the Russian but also in the global economic market. Getting a job at Gazprom is the dream of many of our compatriots. It is believed that it is impossible to get a job in this company without personal connections, but this is just a stereotype.

You can start your search for work in Gazprom on the websites of these companies, where job listings are regularly published. If, in addition, you are a good specialist in your field, a certified graduate of a prestigious university, then it is quite possible that the doors of the company will be hospitably open to you.

To the bank

This area has always been of interest to people who dream of a career, stable earnings and high profits. Experts predict some decline in this direction in the coming years: most likely, ordinary workers - line managers, cashiers, and so on - will be laid off.

There are no strict educational requirements for consultants and operations officers (front office workers). As a rule, students from economic and law universities and people with management experience come to banks.

There are quite a lot of starting positions in banks where people can be hired without experience. In 1-2 years, many young people manage to grow vertically or horizontally in terms of their career. True, employees without experience cannot count on very large salaries. However, you can wait a year or two for the sake of your future career.

On a rotational basis

Builders, drivers, bulldozer drivers, tractor drivers and representatives of other professions, whose skills are required in the harsh conditions of the Far North and the Arctic, work on a rotational basis.

The essence of the rotation method is simple: a team goes to work for 1-3 months and performs its duties without interruption from production - living in temporary housing at construction, mining or processing sites.

Theoretically, any person of the required specialty who is ready to work in harsh conditions can be hired as a rotational worker.

Warning

People trying to find work on a rotational basis may run into a “scam” - companies that collect supposedly “entry fees” from “future employees” for registration.

To avoid this, work only with companies that have representative offices.

Abroad

To get a job abroad (we are not talking about China and Mongolia, but about Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia), you need to look for a position either through a recruitment agency or on foreign websites.

Representatives of in-demand technical specialties - programmers, engineers, designers, IT specialists - have a high chance of working abroad. They offer good options to financiers and top managers.

Naturally, without knowing the language, it is almost impossible to get a normal job in another country. Competition in the job market in Western European countries is very high. In addition to local job seekers, people from the eastern part of Europe, Turkey and Asian countries are trying to find work there.

You can get a job in the Russian Federation in an international company, and then look for opportunities to transfer to a foreign office. If you put in maximum effort and effort, this will be a completely feasible task for an ambitious and purposeful person.

For government service

Far from the worst employment option (especially during a crisis). There is almost always a competition for civil servant vacancies: the best possible candidate is selected.

The process of entering the service is step-by-step - first, all your documents and data are reviewed, then a face-to-face or written test is conducted to determine the subject of special training.

Work experience in your specialty (for example, in a bank, if you are applying for a financial position) will be a good help. You can find out about vacancies in the government service on the websites of city or regional authorities.

6. How to find remote work on the Internet

Working on the Internet is an excellent option for those who do not want to work according to a schedule and “for someone else.” Today you can find work on the Internet in all humanities and technical specialties. Linguists, philologists, teachers, designers, lawyers, medical workers, and programmers are in demand. We have already talked about this in detail in one of the previous articles.

To receive income, you only need constant access to the Internet, a bank account or an electronic wallet. Plus the desire to learn and develop. You can find remote work on the World Wide Web on special sites like FL.ru and Workzilla.

Internet business – a relatively new direction that is becoming more and more relevant. You can open your own business on the Internet (an online store, a legal portal, a school), or you can simply do what you like remotely.

If you are a journalist or philologist, write texts to fill network resources with content. If you are a university teacher, prepare applicants via Skype or help with theses. Any talent can find an application: your skills and abilities can be converted into monetary equivalent.

Working on the Internet has many advantages:

You can work without special education. You can gain specialized knowledge here, for example, by studying topical articles, educational e-courses and videos on Youtube.
The amount of income is not limited to salary. You set your own bar.
The ability to manage your time. When working remotely, you set your own working hours, choose your days off and control the length of your vacation.
Lots of opportunities for personal growth. Being your own boss, you can carry out the most daring and risky projects.

Of course, you need to grow to a stable level of income - not all at once. And with experience, you will definitely understand how to act more effectively and competently. You can start right away by opening your own website and promoting it. We have already told you how to create your own website.

With an initial investment in marketing and optimization, within a year you can turn your project into a profitable business that brings in a stable income.

7. How to look for work in Moscow

Finding a job in Moscow is certainly not an easy task, especially during an economic downturn. You can only count on official vacancies if you have Moscow registration. Informal employment is a common but risky option. If there is no employment contract, you are at the complete mercy of the employer.

Moving and finding a place in the capital is a challenge for energetic and ambitious people. If you have the ability, knowledge, skills and suitable education, you can find many options for self-realization in the capital.

Be prepared in advance for a change in the rhythm of life, different prices and different salary levels. If you plan to live in a rented apartment, calculate your income level in advance to cover the cost of rent and still eat well.

At the end of the article, watch a short educational video on job search:

8. Conclusion

So, now you know a lot more about how to find a job. We hope that our recommendations will help you find a way to earn money that completely suits you in terms of money and self-realization. We wish you to find a highly paid hobby, then you will not have to work in the standard sense.

Take your employment seriously, because, according to statistics, a person spends more than half of his life at work.

We wish you success.

Despite the serious economic crisis, in 2019 Moscow offers a better chance of finding a decent job than any other city in Russia or neighboring countries.

Below you will find some tips on how to look for interesting and well-paid jobs from direct employers in Moscow.

How to find a job

Let's start with a reminder that you should not neglect the help of old acquaintances and former colleagues. Even if no one could offer you anything at the moment, a recommendation from a colleague from your former place of work can have a positive impact on the decision about your candidacy.

At the beginning of the search, you need to determine the requirements for the future workplace. This will help not only narrow down the range of choices, but, most importantly, highlight priority search sources.

For example, if you are looking for a job that does not require high qualifications near your home, you should pay more attention to bulletin boards, local district newspapers and direct visits to a possible employer. Highly qualified specialists, managers and office staff should consider vacancies on leading Internet sites.

Where you don't need to look for work

You can paraphrase and soften the wording a little: try not to use the services of agencies that provide employment for money. All reputable agencies take money from the employer, who has significantly more opportunities to find a good employee for himself.

Think about which employers use the services of agencies that take money from applicants. Most likely, your expectations will be deceived; at a minimum, you will receive worse conditions than those mentioned at the beginning.

Where to look for work

My personal experience is limited to the two largest Runet sites:

hh.ru
SuperJob.ru

You can easily find other sites with job advertisements yourself. By the way, many employers post their vacancies on several sites at once. But this applies to large companies with large budgets, while small ones can use the services of less “promoted” agencies and Internet platforms.

Some employers post jobs directly on their own websites. And even if there are no published vacancies, no one prohibits you from contacting a representative of the company of your dreams. This is exactly the case when persistence is rewarded.

Another option for finding a job is social networks. Of course, VKontakte and Facebook are quite suitable for some types of activities, but for most they are almost useless. There are communities of professionals for this, for example Linkedin.com or professionali.ru

Large recruitment agencies such as Kelly Services and Manpower can be recommended. These agencies are engaged in the selection of qualified personnel mostly for Western companies. There is only one downside to applying through such an agency - at least one additional interview at the agency. By the way, they also post their vacancies and select applicants on sites like hh.ru based on the resumes left on them.

How to write a resume

Whichever job search method you choose, you'll need to create or update your resume. Don't underestimate its importance, as you will be judged by how and what is written there. And your career may never take off after a short review of your resume by an HR specialist and then sending it to the trash bin.

Although writing a resume is a whole science, modern sites like hh.ru have a convenient interface with tips, which allows you to create quite decent resumes even without much experience. Please note that you can export to different formats: PDF or Word. This can be convenient when sending by email or for quick printing on a printer.

Here we will focus only on the important points in creating a resume, which are often forgotten:

The size should not be very large, it should be laid out on two sheets, but the most important information, such as education and last place of work, must be on the first sheet.
If you still need more than two pages to describe your qualifications, it is better to make two versions of your resume: full and shortened.
If you are going to apply for vacancies in different areas, it makes sense to make different resumes, since a detailed description of experience in one area may be perceived as a lack of experience in another.
Carefully check the text for grammatical errors and try to avoid using dubious phraseological units. If there are errors, you will not have a chance in comparison with other resumes, even for vacancies that do not require direct work with texts.
Feel free to show all your achievements, of course, only those that reflect success in your professional activities. Beware of writing lies. If this comes up during an interview, even a minor lie can ruin your candidacy.
Do not underestimate the presence of a photo in your resume; in most cases, the presence of a photo will be perceived positively by the recruiter.
There is no need to describe your hobbies in detail at the end of your resume; few people are really interested in this and in some cases can only do harm.

Why do you need to write a cover letter?

To understand the importance of a cover letter, imagine yourself as someone who will be sifting through dozens of letters from job applicants and selecting the top candidates for interview. There is no guarantee that all resumes will be thoroughly studied first and only then invitations for an interview will be sent. Most likely, resumes from those letters will be studied first, the text of which was more suitable for the definition of the vacancy or the recruiter simply liked it. Thus, it may simply not come to the point of studying your candidacy. Therefore, you should try to write cover letters not according to a single template (this will be immediately noticeable), but focusing on your strengths in the light of the requirements of a particular employer.

The main task at this stage is to please and sell yourself as expensive as possible. Try following these simple recommendations:

Check your appearance, it should be neat and not provocative. They will greet you based on their clothes and there may not be a second chance.
Show your interest. Think about the questions you will ask in advance. The employer must be sure that time wasted communicating with you for a reason. Turn off your mobile phone, do not be distracted by extraneous things.
Do not show excessive ambitions; they must correspond to the position for which you are applying.
Conduct yourself with dignity. Don't hesitate to ask if anything is bothering you. Under no circumstances should you tearfully beg and show a willingness to do anything for this job; after such emotional outbursts, the employer will most likely refuse you.

How to look for a job during a crisis

This probably sounds strange, but the answer from most recruiters is exactly the same as at any other time.

The main thing is not to sit idly by, and not limit yourself to a couple of large sites on which you posted your resume. Use all available sources of information. Improve your skills. Try new activities. Maybe it's time to change things. For some, the crisis opens up new opportunities.

Not every one of us can afford to look for our dream job month after month. There are situations in life when you need to find a job as quickly as possible. He will tell you how to act to reduce your job search time.

Set your salary expectations
Be sure to indicate salary expectations: employers look at resumes with a salary “by agreement” much less often than those whose owners did indicate the level of desired remuneration. And if your experience is still limited, then be especially critical of the figure: salaries with a large number of zeros are paid to professionals who have passed a serious selection process (several interviews, test tasks, etc.). This selection requires time, and you don’t have it. So, if you have no experience, sensibly evaluate your education and skills, compare all this with the average salary of a specialist of your level (our team will help you with this) and... reduce the amount by 10-15%. But don’t overdo it; you don’t want to make the recruiter doubt your professionalism.

Reduce requests
Think about what requests you are willing to give up in order to get hired as quickly as possible. Yes, this is very unpleasant advice, but it works. Do you really see your future nowhere other than international companies? Are you sure you can’t imagine future work without voluntary health insurance or other “goodies” of the compensation package? Are you sure that you are not ready to spend an extra 15-20 minutes on the way to work? Decide what you can give up and what is important to you, and revise your resume. The fewer restrictions, the more offers you will receive, and this is very important if the work is needed immediately.

Expand your search
Even if you have a narrow specialization, you should consider considering offers from related industries. Who knows what offers employers are ready to make you? So give them a chance!

“Ready to start tomorrow... even today!”
Another component of the success of quick employment is your readiness to go to work immediately, right tomorrow. Communicate this during interviews - in some cases it can be your competitive advantage. It happens that a vacancy needs to be filled urgently, but the candidates are all busy: one is finishing things up in the same place, the other has planned a vacation... Meanwhile, some area of work remains uncovered, the company loses possible profits and becomes more accommodating.

Evaluate your resume critically
If you want to find a job quickly, evaluate your resume again. Is it clear enough to the recruiter that you are professional and adequate? Is your experience and achievements clearly presented? Edit your resume for each job you apply to: try to draw attention to that part of your experience that may be of interest to this particular employer. Read more about how to describe your achievements on a resume.

Download the mobile application
Good vacancies fill very quickly. To send your resume faster than your competitors or quickly respond to an employer’s invitation, use our mobile application to search for a job. Update your resume and call the employer directly from the application:

Work on your job search! Every day!
This is the most important point. None of the above will help if you do not search for a job thoroughly and systematically. Review new job postings every morning; send your resume to suitable companies; check the fate of your resume with those companies that have not responded to your letters; If you are rejected after an interview, ask the recruiters for advice on what you need to do to succeed in the next company. Don't sit idly by! Only persistent applicants find work quickly!

Good luck and quick employment!

Are you getting fired? Got laid off? Have you decided to change your profession or place of work? Now you will learn how to find a new job without risking your own well-being.

Part-time work

Situations can be different, for example, you want to increase your income and are looking for an additional source of income. Let's figure out how to find a new job while still in your old place.

There are professions and positions in which part-time work is prohibited by law. You were probably warned about this at the hiring stage, so think a hundred times before looking for outside work. Please note that part-time work is not a one-time job, but regular work in your free time from the main rate. It is regulated by labor laws.

A situation is possible when the ban on part-time work is the whim of the employer. Usually this point is fixed in the employment contract, but has no legal force. Most often, the employer knows about the illegality of this restriction and turns a blind eye to part-time workers, because in the event of a summons to court, the truth will not be on his side.

The only thing that threatens you if you are exposed is a damaged relationship with your superiors. Weigh the pros and cons. Think about how much you value this place and whether it is worth holding on to if the employer violates your rights.

Internal and external part-time work

So where to find a new job? There are two options for you: open, when the employer is aware of your plans, and secret, when you decide to hide the fact that you have a second job from your bosses.

In the first case, an excellent part-time option could be working in your own company - this is called internal part-time work. Voice your desire to management, perhaps they will accommodate you.

If you decide not to advertise your search for a second job, none of your employees should know about your intentions; the likelihood that the information will reach your superiors is almost one hundred percent.

Change of profession

At any age, with any position and income level, a person can decide to change his profession. According to statistics, about 40% of Russians are ready for such drastic changes.

The first thing you must be sure of is that this is not a momentary impulse caused by fatigue or disagreements with your superiors, but a balanced and deliberate decision. A sudden change of profession is a difficult process, and if you have extensive experience in a certain field, it is doubly difficult.

The main mistake of most job seekers is that they don’t know what they really want. Forums are littered with posts where people who have worked for decades in some field ask for advice on changing directions. Can anyone know better than you yourself what your calling is? Let’s not discuss the technology for identifying hidden talents now; there is a lot of good material about this on the Internet. Let's talk better about the pitfalls.

You must understand: any field of activity is a rut. The longer you drive along it, the deeper it is and the more difficult it is to get out of it. Have you gained a certain professional weight, built up a reputation and client base? Maybe you should think about your own business?

In a new place, you will have to start everything from scratch, perhaps from the lowest paid position. It is possible that you will learn the basics from young colleagues, and your manager will be much younger than you. Are you able to adapt in such conditions? Will you be able to feed your family at the initial stage?

Airbag

If you are not afraid of difficulties, you have realized the risks and are ready for change, try to realize your plans with the least loss for the family budget and nervous system. Perhaps a good option would be to look for work in related fields. This way you can use your accumulated knowledge and experience.

An excellent option would be to work part-time in your desired field or do a part-time job. When the position in the new place is strengthened, you can quit your main job and completely devote yourself to what you love.

It will be useful to attend seminars and undergo additional training, especially if your current job has nothing to do with the activity you plan to do.

Dismissal due to staff reduction

Yes, this happens. Even successful specialists are being laid off. The first thing every employee thinks about after receiving a warning from the employer and recovering from the blow is: “Will I find a new job?”

The main thing is not to become discouraged. The first place to look for a job is your field of activity and related areas. At the same time, notify all your family and friends that you are searching.

If, despite the dismissal, the relationship with the employer is good, agree with him about the opportunity to be absent for interviews during working hours. More often than not, management will accommodate the employee halfway. In some companies, this point is stipulated in the employment contract.

It’s a good idea to think about an action plan in case you don’t succeed in getting a job in your specialty. Remember your hobbies and talents. Perhaps it's time to turn your hobby into a profession? Prepare several resume options in areas in which you could realize yourself.

Dismissal at your own request

If you are not satisfied with the working conditions, you should start looking for a new place, but there is no need to quit until you have found a suitable option. You could jeopardize your financial well-being if the search takes longer than you planned.

Safety precautions

Some try to blackmail management, hinting at their possible departure and thereby trying to achieve improved working conditions or higher wages. This can work if you are a truly valuable and irreplaceable employee. Otherwise, they may immediately show you the door behind which applicants for your position are already waiting. Start your search without informing company employees and attending interviews on your own time.

If you decide to “burn your bridges,” then create a small financial reserve that will allow you to hold out during the job search process.

Job Search

Speed is one of the main criteria for the effectiveness of your efforts. The more active you are, the faster you will find a job. Often people left without work plunge headlong into household chores, taking on the responsibilities of housewives. You may like this at first, but in the end it can lead to serious psychological problems, especially for men.

Don't panic or get discouraged if you are left out of work. You can find a new job at 40. How you set yourself up will be the way your search will go.

Below are some tips on how to find a new job safely and quickly.

Applicant's cheat sheet

Try to increase your chances of success by notifying all your friends and family that you are searching. This simple measure can save you from further hassle; perhaps one of your close friends or relatives will help you find a new job.
If you are already unemployed, register with the employment center at your place of residence. This will provide you with some quick and useful information about new jobs in your area while you search. A center staff member will regularly inform you about job fairs and meetings with employers. Along the way, at the center you can take free advanced training courses or learn a new profession.
Don't relax, keep your work routine: get up at the same time, plan your day and try to strictly follow the schedule. Realize that finding a new place is your job now.
Don’t waste time communicating on social networks, playing computer games, or reading articles like “How to find a new job using Feng Shui” or “How to attract a job?” Planting rutabaga in a wealth zone and shamanic rituals will not increase your chances of success.
Create your own version of a resume for each area of activity that you consider possible. Post them on every job portal you can find.
If necessary, limit viewing the resume of the company you are currently working for. This will not provide a 100% guarantee of safety, but there is a chance of remaining undetected. You don’t have to include your last name and last place of work in your resume; just indicate your field of activity and length of service.
Do not search for work from your work computer and do not use your work e-mail for mailing. In many companies, the security service regularly checks what employees do during working hours: they control outgoing files and the history of visits to third-party sites.
Learn to filter out offers from fraudulent companies. If, after reading the text of the vacancy, you could not understand what the organization does and you are also promised fabulous profits, do not waste your time. As a rule, such companies position themselves as transnational corporations that, on the eve of establishing world domination, allow you to jump on the last car and grab your piece of the pie.
Train, gain experience. Try to go to all interviews that are assigned to you. You will learn to communicate correctly and confidently with representatives of HR services, answer awkward questions, take tests, accept refusals and refuse yourself - this increases your self-esteem.
Is it tempting to accept the employer's first offer? Agree if it really meets your requirements. Otherwise, you will miss the chance to find a good job. You will lose mobility and will not be able to go to interviews during working hours, each time you will have to explain to a potential employer why, having recently got a job, you are looking for a job again.

The fear of staying idle and the desire to adequately provide for our family force us to look for a new place as soon as possible. What course of action should you choose to really quickly find a job?

Here are some really useful tips.

You have to hurry slowly

The hiring process should not be turned into a stressful situation. It may seem to you that excitement is pushing you, helping you not to waste a minute, but in reality everything is more complicated.

Stress mobilizes the body only at first, and then the resources are depleted, leaving only unhealthy anxiety.

If you want to find a job quickly, do not rush into battle immediately after receiving your work book. Give yourself a chance to switch gears. Rest for at least a week, completely throwing thoughts about business out of your head.

AND - don't overwork yourself, running around for interviews. It is better to prepare well for one promising interview and come to it fully prepared than to appear for three conversations in one day.

A positive attitude is a must

Don't take finding a job as a problem and don't feel like a damaged slave. Consider this stage as a step towards new activities, achievements, and acquaintances.

Your sense of self- an important point. People are hired by other people, and they are guided by more than just rational considerations.

You should give the employer the impression of a confident, successful person, and not a confused loser.

There must be a system in everything

Keep a file on your computer “How to quickly find a job.” Make a plan for yourself.

Treat your job search how to the project, on which you will work daily from such and such time to such and such (taking into account legal breaks for breakfast, lunch and dinner).

Identify for yourself the main points of the plan with specific and visible indicators of their implementation, for example:

Write a good, universal resume and post it on all major job/employee search services.
View the “Job” section in the city advertisement newspaper “Everything for everyone”.
Get acquainted with the vacancies available on the major websites HeadHunter, Rabota.ru (as well as on our resource).
Post a job search ad on your social network page and ask your friends to repost it.
Register with the employment center in order to receive benefits (at least one month in advance, the money is not extra) and study the electronic database of vacancies of the Employment Center.
Choose 5 organizations in the city that you would like to work for and contact them directly with an offer of your services.

You need to think broadly

When considering options, don't try to find only what you already know. Many professions allow you to complete your education on the go. Think about related areas of activity.

If, for example, you worked as a Russian language teacher, try to get a job as a journalist or proofreader.

Go through all your hobbies in your mind. You have a great chance to combine business with pleasure.

Maybe, after thinking about it, you will even decide to organize a small business of your own - producing wooden souvenirs, sewing dresses, making interior toys...

A small own enterprise does not always require large start-up investments.
