How do you find a job?

Probably no one is under the illusion that work is a fundamental activity in everyone’s life. Where and under what conditions we work often determines what our life is like. That is why it is essential that we know how to effectively search for a future job. In this article, in a few words, we will try to outline for you how to look for work, so that you do it in the most effective way.

1. Determine what you really want.

The basic step is to understand what you are really looking for. Identify elements such as: position, company, salary, conditions, etc. If you are looking for a job in an unfamiliar environment, find out the specifics of the position. Understanding exactly what we need will allow us to narrow the list of offers to the ones that really interest us.

2. Make a list of companies.

Now that you know exactly what you’re looking for, it’s time to find companies where you can take jobs. We recommend that you do not look only for job listings. Often companies are not looking for new employees at any given time, however, they may be interested in hiring someone who comes to them. Write down a list of potential employers, their contact information, and a brief description of the location. The more companies you find, the more likely you are to find a job. When searching the business directory, remember that you can use means such as online forums dedicated to your city, Facebook groups, groups with job postings, the results of key phrases in Google search, such as “Gdansk Computer Services”, etc.

3. Prepare the necessary documents.

In most cases, a resume is sufficient. However, in some situations, the employer requires more documents, such as a cover letter or a certificate of certain credentials. Check if the company in question has a list of the documents necessary for the hiring process on its website.

4. Send your documents to companies.

Remember to make sure that the email address to which you send your documents matches the address that appears on the website of the corresponding company. If you’re sending a letter by post, make sure the delivery address is the actual address of the company’s recruiting department. Don’t forget to include in your message a brief description of the reason you are contacting, and make sure that the subject of the message is clear and directs the recipient to the content of the message. It is important to send emails from a trusted email, to have more chances that our message does not end up in spam (useless mass messages). In addition, you have to search the company’s website for a contact form to request the hiring process.

5. Believe in yourself and give yourself time

The job search process is often a stressful process. Remember that sometimes, even with the best qualifications and excellent documentation, it can still be a situation of getting no response from potential employers. Don’t give up and keep trying to increase your search reach. Constantly monitor the current market situation and remember that there are factors over which you have no control, so it is not worth worrying too much about them.
