Adapt your skills to market needs!

Job seeking is a gruelling process. There are hardly a dozen people who would sincerely enjoy the job search process. Thousands of new vacancies appear on job search sites every day, but finding a job is very difficult. The labour market depends on the economy, it has its own trends and it may well be that by the time you graduate from the university, there will be very few or no offers. Strive to adapt your skills to market needs.

You send hundreds of resumes but you never get an answer. You begin to doubt yourself and look for reasons. Why isn't anyone hiring me? What's the problem with me? You have no idea what employers are looking for. Very often, employers are looking for Einstein with 30 years of work experience and a novice student's salary. The job market is tough. What works for one won't work for another.

Create the right resume & cover letter!

In reality, there are external factors that can affect your capabilities, such as the mood of a recruiter. And here you are powerless. Therefore, instead of worrying, it is better to spend time and energy on what you can control. Make sure your resume stands out from the crowd. Refresh your resume, and write a cover letter corresponding to a job. The main thing in the resume is to clearly indicate the position for which you are applying. According to research, most employers will not consider resumes wording “any position” or “specialist”. Never give links to your pages on social networks - the employer may find information that compromises you. The resume should not be too long, it is enough to list skills and abilities only by points. An ideal resume takes about one sheet.
