Job search methods: applying to a vacancy
Of course, the most obvious way to get a job is to apply for a published vacancy. Be careful not to rely on just one source of job ads or only the Employment Service. Search large, as well as local classifieds, and vacancies posted on institutions’ websites. Don’t forget to browse the ads of employment agencies such as Adecco.hr. When writing your resume, follow the guidelines for writing a resume published on our blog.
Job search methods: organise yourself
Discipline and being organized will help you in your job search for both practical and motivational reasons. Be methodical and document all the necessary information about your job search, list the ads you apply to, follow news about important companies and individuals, and record when and how you contacted which employer. This type of data collection will make the entire process easier for you, help you not to make mistakes, and ensure that all important information is easily available.
How to find freelance jobs
If you are unable to find a full-time job, you may have an easier time finding a freelance job. It can be a step on your way to full employment because it will not only allow you to gain valuable work experience but also to expand your network of acquaintances and contacts. In addition, freelance jobs allow you to prove your competence, create business connections, and build your portfolio of achievements.
Job search methods: open job application
Instead of waiting for a job opening, be proactive and send an open job application to employers. Make sure that you research the company well before writing the application and write an open request tailored to the target company. Don’t accidentally send a generic job application to a large number of employers, hoping that it will yield results with one of them. When looking for a job, quality wins over quantity. If you can, consult colleagues and friends on how to improve your open application.
Job search methods: how to find a job with LinkedIn
For many professions, regular activity on the LinkedIn social network has become crucial. In many professions it is the key to finding a well-paid job or simply finding a good job. It is recommended that you try to establish as many contacts as possible online and follow people who are followed by others in your profession. Make an effort to post regularly on LinkedIn and write articles about your own experiences or your field. If you write for the media or have your own blog, post links to them online so that your connections know what you can offer the world in a professional sense. Comment on other people’s posts with positive and encouraging comments so that others will remember you. And don’t forget to try to reflect desirable personality traits such as ambition, positivity, and team spirit in your posts. LinkedIn serves your personal branding, which is important in today’s world.
Employment agencies and job portals
Nowadays, more and more companies are using the services of private employment agencies or job portals to find qualified candidates. This saves resources and time for both employers and job seekers. There are more than several employment agencies in Croatia, as well as job portals, so familiarize yourself with their work.
