Some other general information:
The first step for you to get hired is to prepare a good CV! A good CV ideally consists of 2 or 3 pages (not mandatory). It should include:
1. Personal information:
Firstly, lets start with the mandatory attributes of the CV: first and last name, date of birth, mobile phone, e-mail; other type of connection methods. You should also indicate where were you born and where do you currently live and work/study/etc. Attaching a recent photo into the CV is preferable- it should be official/passport format.
2. Work experience.
Secondly the working experience. You should always start from the last position (most recent one) you held. The name of the particular employer, the period of employment, the position and related daily tasks/routines shall be indicated. It is good to describe exactly what your task were, but extremely brief and systematic. Do not hesitate to mention all the places where you worked, even if it was unskilled labor.
3. Education, Foreign Languages, Computer Skills, Driving license.
Once again, you should start with the highest level of education placed at the top. For example: doctor, master, bachelor, secondary education. It is not necessary to indicate your initial education or any additional courses you have attended, but it is good idea to list the languages
4. Additional information: Information about hobbies/interested; Only give it when you think it is relevant and helpful.
Prepare your resume using the exact words without abbreviations, structured in clear sentences. Remember that a good CV is one where HR professionals are easy to navigate and can sift out the important from the unimportant.
In conclusion, If you put the desire and enthusiasm for the perfect CV, this can be the first step to the job you want.
the first impression you make the employer. Therefore, it should be perfectly designed and contain as much useful information as possible in a reasonable amount of text. Very often we underestimate the importance of the CV. Sometimes it is incomplete, sparsely written or carelessly shaped.
Usually the employer receives dozens or even hundreds of CVs, and often looks at them for just a couple of seconds, sifting through the best ones. If your CV is in plain text where the information is vague and messy and the result of that will be bad- it will not attract the employer’s attention.
Firstly, to divide the information in the CV into paragraphs. Secondly, the more important and less important components, should select appropriate font. If you are not sure how to shape your CV, you can use the Europass online creator/editor. Likewise, you can just copy the address to get started- https://europass.cedefop.europa.eu/editors/en/cv/compose
Getting ready for a job interview is not as complicated as it may seem at first glance. In case you have no previous experience, it is a good idea to try and prepare yourself “theoretically”.
You could check relevant sites and look for information about the policies we may expect you to follow. Surely you can find other general good practices- the internet is full of them.
Be sure to find information about the business of the company you are applying for, whether it is a large corporate structure or a small neighborhood shop. That always makes a very good impression.
Try to imagine the questions that you might be asked and think about ways to reply and present our skills and competence the best possible way. Don’t be too confident and flaunting about yourself… this may leave a bad impression. Being just a bit more modest is preferable.
Since you are looking for a job abroad you should try to learn as much as possible about the country you are heading to. We are all humans, but there is always “culture shock”, especially in countries with strict rules, where actually you are going to be “foreigner” who (may not even) speak their language.
Even if you think you will stay only few months or less it is better to prepare yourself theoretically. Learn about the culture, the customs, the weather and climate, professional behavior, etc. Such simple preparations may safeguard you from a lot of trouble and headaches.
