Although unemployment has decreased its percentage, it remains
high. Also, these types of surveys do not take into account informal
employment, where people do not have the same benefits as graduate jobs do, in
a formal company.
The human resources company Randstad advises those without employment,
job hunting tools to cope with: "While it is a normal passage through the
first stage of frustration, you need to take charge of the situation, regain
control and face the future with a positive attitude" they explain.
Here are a few tips to find a job easier if you are
unemployed:
1. Investigate current career outage. Despite high
unemployment, there is still a market with unfilled vacancies, with a figure of
over 100,000 jobs. The next step is to identify those companies or sectors with
high activity that can help in the reintegration.
2. Update basic tools. Typically, the unemployed
have an outdated CV, especially if you have been in the same company for a long
period of time. Nothing better to begin with, than updating the curriculum,
first detailing the latest features developed and performed at your previous
job, so you can make an exhibition of your career.
3. Start the search. The more time it goes out of
employment, the harder it is to get back to the labor market. The accessibility
of job portals and the increasingly intensive use of the Internet by companies looking
for candidates save lots of time, and allow us to search directly from home.
4. Prepare the interview. The candidate should
always prepare well in advance an interview, especially if you have been fired
from your previous employer, they will want to know the reasons that led to the
departure of the company, and you must answer honestly and confident to
possible questions such as; "Why were you fired?", "What have
you been doing during the period of unemployment?" Etc... Keep in mind
that unemployment does not have to hidden, and that is not always motivated by
poor professionalism. This situation needs to be addressed simply as the
transition period between jobs. You should also prepare a job interview to work
abroad.
5. Accuracy on the formation. Increase knowledge
needed in your previous job or find those who would have liked to have, to have
better chances are some of the training opportunities that the candidate must
raise. With them, you should always consider mastering a second language or
increase your computer skills.
6 Search your contact list. Although keeping an updated
networking should be an obligation for all professionals, it is especially
recommended for people who are unemployed or have just been fired. Introduce to
your regular contact the new work situation can help us find new job
opportunities and maintain updated information on the market situation.
7 Recycling. Those professionals who once were
considering changing careers or start your own work from home online, have to
know that it is a good time to do so. Previous experience, although not
directly related to the job, and entrepreneurship are the best tools to search
for a new career opportunity, and especially note those jobs that are more
desirable by companies.
8 Stay positive. The current economic situation
favors the discouragement of many professionals. However, when you are looking
for a job, it is essential to have a positive attitude with good mood and to
avoid the constant reminder of personal failures. Continue to push and be
proactive in your search, that’s the only thing that is going to help you on
achieving your goals.
