Facebook is a platform that includes many social services, and its prevalence is increasing day by day. We can say that it is in demand after certain career organizations, especially in job searches. So how can we use Facebook in the job search process?

How does it work? How do we reach?

On a particular company’s Facebook page under the Jobs tab, according to certain criteria in Facebook’s jobs board section; job postings appear according to the criteria determined according to location, job concept, and category types.

Another fairly common option these days is Facebook groups. Groups are organized for certain countries, and for certain cities, to show that certain languages are present in the group. Thanks to job postings and job searches published in the group, people communicate with each other and the process is carried out. 

Maybe you come across a job posting that may be more difficult to reach than you expected, and once you see, you are doing the job you are looking for.

What are the advantages?

-You can apply for a job directly on Facebook, and you can contact directly within the shared job postings. Thus, this process is carried out faster and easier.

-You do not have to repeat your education and work history with each new job application. Recruiters can access your profile information if you allow them.

-Since employers can review your profile and see what you post on your Facebook page, it’s in your best interest to avoid things that might make you look negative. Both you and your Facebook profile representing you must be suitable for the job posting to be applied for.

What can you do?

Appropriate and well-written posts, the scope of the shared content, specifying the talents and skills possessed, and specifying the scopes suitable for the industry will create a preferable profile for employers.

There are some simple guidelines you can follow to increase your chances of success. Here are some tricks from us for you 🙂

What you can do on your Facebook page before applying?

1. Your profile picture is the first impression

Your profile picture is one of the first things a prospective employer will see after you apply for a Facebook job posting. That’s why it’s a good idea to avoid any photos that might fall into the inappropriate category. Do not forget that the first impression that will be formed about you is hidden in your photo.

2. Basics

Be sure to check that your basic knowledge is sufficient. Since your CV cannot be added to the Facebook page; Make sure your contact information and address are up to date. It is useful to include your date of birth, skills and experiences. Please indicate your phone number and your active e-mail address so that you can be reached.

3. Cover letter

Since you cannot add your CV to your job application, you can prepare a short cover letter. You briefly mention yourself in the text box; education, experience, and a letter that may be compatible with the job you are applying for will be effective for your employer. It will be the right way for you to proceed in a style similar to the motivation article. Your thoughts on why you think you are suitable for this job and why they should hire you will become a criterion in influencing your employer.

-Be sure to follow the pages of the job postings you are interested in, and do not disrupt the interaction. Know what the company is interested in, what its current status is, and how it is. Let them know that you know them and that you are following them.

Everyone wants the relevant employee 🙂

If you have done all the tricks and followed the steps in a planned way, we do not doubt that you will get a job thanks to Facebook!

Standing out on your CV is now one of the criteria in the job searching. The content should be easily read not only by the recruiter, but also it has to be easily read by the applicant tracking system (ATS).

1) Keep it short
First of all, it is about writing the CV in brief and in general it must be written in only two pages of A4, unless you have more experience (this only applies if you have +5 years of experience). 

2) Use plain sheet
You have to use plain sheet color paper, which will look professional and may be conveniently read. 

3) Choose the right font
You have to consider the font type and size. The ideal ones are the Arial, Times New Roman, or Calibri and the font must be readable and consistent in the whole CV, normally the font size is between 10-12.

4) Don’t forget keywords
Keywords should be applied on your CV, especially related to the job you would like to apply. Not only that but it also can easily be recognized by ATS, whose function is to track and analyze the most relevant CVs and be in the shortlist for the next step, which is the human review. Then, those words should also be in the active voice instead of passive voice. The last one is to write everything honestly, never exaggerate or lie on your achievements and experiences.

Some information you need to know:

Different countries may apply various CV requirements. In Europe, the CV might be different from the one in Asia and America. For example, in Europe, most companies would like to accept the colorful CV, unless in Asia and America, they require the ATS-standard level of CV, which is the one-color CV or even just white. Moreover, if you apply to more than one type of job, you must have your personalized CV too. The reason is because one job will have different skills requirements than the others, in particular, a customer service job will require more communication skills. On the other hand, an engineering job will require you to be able to do math and physics. Hence, to keep in mind, prepare several CVs that can fit the jobs you would like to apply for. So, whenever you are going to send your application, you already have your CV in your hand.

One of the basic ATS-standard CVs you can actually see is the Harvard University version. It is very simple yet clear because you just write your information in detail with their templates. You can actually use a free platform to make your CV. There are several applications that you can use to make your CV. One of them is Canva, which not only you can make your CV creatively with a lot of features, from the templates to the fonts and colors but you can also make Instagram posts, reels, etc.

Big companies, especially when they have a lot of people applying to their job vacancies, they use the technology to filter and make the recruitment process faster. Therefore, in my opinion, the ATS-friendly CV is better to be sent to them. Moreover, there are several criteria to make your CV stand out, which is about the languages. Usually, when you apply for jobs in the US or even European countries, it is beneficial for the candidates to be able to speak more than their native languages. So, for example, there is someone who would like to apply for a job in Italy. Not only does he need to be able to speak English but also the native language in that country. It is useful for him too to have good communication in between colleagues in the office, especially during lunch breaks or have a night out together. Even though you can still speak English, maybe it will show more comfort and support using their native language. On the other hand, in several conditions, such as when there are clients that you need to have consultation with, it will be easier for you to make them understand by explaining them in their languages.

What is written inside the CV should be quite in detail due to the information that will be gotten on the selection process. The first crucial one is about your basic information, such as name, address, telephone number, email. These may make the recruiters easier to reach you when they need you.

The second one is about your educational background, when you are now searching for work, it is better for you to write starting from your university education. For example, if you have your master degree already, you can write both your bachelor and master degrees. Moreover, specify it in detail and also your GPA if possible. The third one is about your experiences, it may be in a form of work, internship, or even voluntary jobs. During writing those experiences, you might have to write in your job descriptions, especially the ones that are related to the job vacancy you will apply for. Highlight the skills and tools that may be useful for the recruiters to review if you suit the position. The fourth one is about your organizational experiences, for example you join student organizations or even national and international organizations, in particular, you join model united nations, or other related organizations. It might have additional value to your CV.

Conclusion

No matter how colorful your CV looks or just white plain paper, the best CV may also depend on what you experience and the relation between your CV and the job vacancies that you apply to. Furthermore, do not forget to make your CV personalized when applying to different companies and make sure your skills are actually what they are searching for.

LinkedIn is a powerful networking tool, although it can be intimidating at first. When used correctly, LinkedIn can help you find a job, network with other people and enhance or build a business relationship of some kind. In this article, we’ll cover what to do and not do when using this platform in order to maximize its potential.

Here are some tips on how to get the most out of this social media platform:

Choose the right profile picture for LinkedIn.

It’s important to choose the right profile picture for LinkedIn. This will help you stand out from your competition and make it easier for people to connect with you.

• Make sure your picture is professional. If possible, take a recent photo of yourself (no more than six months old) that shows off your best features and looks professional in terms of lighting, background color, etc.
• Make sure it’s high quality! Don’t just take any old picture off Google Images—use a professional photographer if possible or hire someone who knows what they’re doing when capturing images.

Make your profile clear.

• LinkedIn is a great tool for finding out about people, but it’s also possible to use LinkedIn as a vehicle for making connections and networking with other professionals. If you want to do this, you need to make sure that your profile is as clear as possible so that people can easily find out about who you are and what you do.
• Use keywords in your summary section of the “About Me” section—these will help potential employers or clients find out about relevant aspects of yourself when searching for job postings online or through other means on social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter!

Use the headline to sell yourself.

The headline is the most important part of your LinkedIn profile. It’s what people will see when they search for you, so it needs to be catchy and compelling.

• Don’t just list your job title, but also mention your skills and experience in the headline as well. You can also use this space to write about what makes you different from other people in your field (for example: “I’m an innovative thinker.”) This will help make sure that people know who they’re hiring before they even apply for the job!
• Don’t just say “I’m a great person” or “I’m a good worker.” Instead, try something like “I love working on challenging projects”

Turn your summary into your story.

Your summary is a short, clear statement of your experience and skills. Use it to sell yourself in a way that helps you stand out from the crowd.

• Use the headline: The most important thing about your summary is that it should be punchy, short and focused on what you can do for clients or employers. The headline should tell them why they should hire you over other candidates (or at least get them excited enough to click through). You don’t need to use any fancy language here—just be clear!
• Be specific: Don’t just list off vague qualifications like “I have experience with XYZ company.” Instead, focus on specific examples of work done by others who have hired similar people with similar qualifications. For example: “I worked as program manager for an organization that was looking into improving their customer service process” will give potential employers more detail than just saying “I’ve worked in customer service before.”

Grow your network.

LinkedIn is a great tool for growing your network. It’s one of the best ways to meet new people, and it can also help you connect with people you already know. If you’re looking for introductions, this guide will help you find the right people in your network and get them more involved in helping grow yours!

Always list your skills.

The first step to getting the most out of LinkedIn is listing your skills. If you’re not doing this, then I don’t know what will happen!

• Write a description for each skill that’s easy for others to find. For example: “I am an expert in SEO.”
• Use keywords that people will search for when looking for a job (this is especially important if you think they’ll be searching). You can use these same keywords in any other social media accounts as well so that people can see all of your work at once!

Get recommendations if possible.

If you can, ask your colleagues and friends to recommend you. LinkedIn has a feature called “Recommendations” that shows the top five recommendations for each of your positions and industries. This makes it easy to find people who are familiar with what you do, which is great if they know someone else who might need the same skill set as well!

Take a skills assessment.

If you’re not sure what skills or experience is most important to employers, take a skills assessment. This will help identify your strengths and weaknesses so that you can build a profile on LinkedIn that highlights the ones that are most relevant to employers.

Conclusion

If you’re looking to use LinkedIn, it’s important that you understand how the site works and what kind of information is important when you post it. You should also know that LinkedIn has many features that allow users to interact with other people on its platform. This means you can get help with your resume or learn about new job openings before they become available!

Nowadays, the job market is very competitive, and you as an active job-seeker need to make sure you can present yourself best. That is why you will need to continuously work on your Curriculum Vitae, to make it highly professional and attractive for the company. CV is the most important document that helps the employer to decide whether you passed the selection part and can take the interview.
Therefore, we present the following guide to getting a winner’s CV.

1. Be precise and concise

The manager needs to understand the basic things about you, such as:
– Who you are
– What is your professional background
– What are your skills and abilities
– What you have achieved
Present only your main tasks, experiences, and skills that are relevant to the position.
Use bullet points to list your skills and tasks by groups, it will look clearer.

2. Use only relatable information

The managers usually are looking for your professional background, and not your personal life. The only personal details you can add are the date of birth and the country of residence.
Details such as marital status (married/single, etc) and sex should be excluded.

For the education part, do not include all the diplomas and certificates you achieved, only the most recent ones (ex: you completed your BA- include the bachelor's degree only, avoid diplomas from high school and middle school).

3. Irrelevant jobs you held

When the employer is analyzing your CV, he or she is looking for relevant information, again!
If you apply for a Marketing job, include in your CV all the experience related to marketing: previous jobs, courses, degrees, etc. Do not include summer jobs or seasonal jobs (ex: waiter), or even jobs you had like 10 years ago that are not relevant to the position you apply to!

4. Highlight your interests

It is also important to mention your hobbies and activities because this can create interest for your potential employer. However, include interests related to the job you are applying for!

Use examples that can be related both to your personal and professional life. But, the most important part here is, to be honest! Do not list “interested in photography” when you have no idea how to use a professional camera.

5. Start to use LinkedIn.

According to an HR Statistic, 87% of recruiters use LinkedIn to check candidates.
LinkedIn is a social platform where professionals can network, search for jobs, sign up as freelancers, and publish articles. It is a place for professionals to connect with past and current colleagues, increase business connections and networks within their industry, discuss business ideas, search for jobs, and look for new hires.

Millions of people, every year, leave their home countries to find luck, love or perhaps a big career in a foreign country. And, if you are reading this article, you might be considering that too. And we encourage you to do so! Choosing to move to a foreign country is an excellent way to propel your career forward. It would not only benefit your career but also you personally as an international move is likely to give you experiences hard to match at home, and which you will never forget.

Now that you’re convinced about relocating it’s time to decide where to! The world is wide and choosing is a hard task, isn’t it? Well, why not make it Poland? Keep reading because in this article we will tell you why you should move to this beautiful country and reasons to make it your next work destination!

Poland is among the 25 most developed economies in the world according to FTSE Russell and ranks 8th as the best country for female workers. The country has also one of the highest rates of English as a second language in the world and there are a lot of job opportunities for multilinguals.
That sounds quite impressive, doesn’t it? Let´s discover more!

1. Economy and Employment Rate

The Polish economy has experienced impressive growth during the last few years, which is continuing to this day. Poland’s economy has been constantly developing achieving the fastest growth in Europe after the financial crisis. This trend is reflected in the country’s unemployment rate, which has been falling steadily. The unemployment rate in Poland currently stands at around 3.9%. Additionally, the prognosis shows that the percentage will remain at around 4% over the next few years.

As a result, companies invest more and create various new jobs every day. People can use these opportunities to develop their skills and expertise and take their careers to the next step.

2. Location

Poland is in a great central location in Europe. Not only that, but the country has also really good infrastructures, not only highways, railways, and airways but also seaways – due to its location at the Baltic Sea. There are various connections and easy – but most importantly cheap – ways to travel to cities and countries all over the world.

3. International Environment

In Poland, you’ll never feel like a fish out of water! Due to the good location and upturning economy, lots of global companies find their way to Poland. Several corporations have offices or headquarters in the country. People from outside of Poland now have more opportunities than ever to work in an international environment and gather new experiences. And if you are just starting your career, you’ll be pleased to know that Poland offers young people more than you think! For your first experience, companies tend to provide training, guide you through obstacles and help you choose your future career path.

4. No language barrier

You may be worried about learning Polish. We agree – Polish is most definitely not an easy
language to learn. But fear not! The job market in Poland is very attractive for multilinguals. Many international companies are looking for foreign languages speakers. Nonetheless, many Polish people speak English at a very high level as their second language. In 2019 Poland scored a 63.76 EF English Proficiency Index, resulting in Poland placing 11th (out of 100) in the general ranking and 9th in a European comparison.

But, if you’re keen on learning Polish, that can be easily arranged too! Indeed, there are many schools and Universities which offer Polish classes for foreigners for free!

5. Low Cost of Living

In comparison to other European countries, Poland is a relatively cheap place to live. For example, did you know that the cost of living in Poland is 40% lower than it is in the UK? So even if the salary may not look as high as in other Northern European countries, you are still getting a great deal! Due to the low cost of living, you’ll be able to save money quickly and spend them on what you love (perhaps travelling!)

6. Safety

The criminality rate in Poland is generally low. People feel safe, day or night, and can walk freely around the cities. The low crime index of 30.09 makes Poland a great destination also for families with children. Furthermore, the country is barely facing any natural catastrophes like tornados, earthquakes, etc.

Does Poland seem like a good place to work and live? Would you like to find out more or do you need help finding a place of work in Poland? Get in touch with our team!

Having a perfect resume and a cover letter is important but it’s not enough! Indeed, it is important that a good CV is followed and supported by a job interview at the same level.

There are several types of candidates at a job interview: some candidates who view the moment of the selection interview as an opportunity to let off steam about how much they do not like their current job, others who are a nervous wreck throughout the whole interview due to the anxiety of having to answer to a recruiter and those who want their 30 minutes of glory and enjoy the stage as a true one-man show!

Unfortunately, all three strategies are wrong and will probably lead to get another “no” or another “we will let you know” that will end up accumulating insecurity and frustration in those who receive it.

So what do we do? No worries, the WiPjobs Team is here to help! Let’s see together 7 valuable tips that you should never forget and that will boost your chances of getting hired!

1. Always keep in mind the Job Description for the job you applied for

Never forget to study attentively the job description for the job you applied for: exclusion is almost a given in a job interview if – as soon as you sit in front of the recruiter – you reply vaguely when asked ‘do you remember for which position you applied for?.’
To many candidates, this question may seem superfluous but it is essential for HR to understand how much you are present at the interview, how many CVs you are sending and how accurate you are! So, at most, re-read the job description you applied for, especially when sending your curriculum massively.

2. Be on time

Make sure to be on time for the interview. And by time we do not mean exactly on time: we mean at least five to ten minutes early. If need be, drive to the interview location ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going and how long it will take to get there.

Take into account the time of your interview so you can adjust for local traffic patterns at that time. Give yourself a few extra minutes to visit the restroom, check your outfit, and calm your nerves.

3. Make sure to gather information about the company you’re applying for

It is never a good sign when a candidate does not know what type of company he/she has applied for and what is the core business of the reality in which he/she is conducting the job interview. Make sure to research the company and show what you know. Obviously, this does not mean knowing every single detail such as the financial statements of the last quarter but it is essential to know at least how the company is set up, what it does, its mission and its vision.

4. Develop a Connection With the Interviewer

In addition to indicating what you know about the company, you should also try to develop a connection with your interviewer. Know the interviewer’s name and use it during the job interview. If you’re not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Listen very carefully during introductions.
If you’re prone to forgetting names, jot it down somewhere discreet, like in small letters at the bottom of your notepad.

Ultimately, building rapport and making a personal connection with your interviewer can up your chances of getting hired. People tend to hire candidates they like and who seems to be a good fit for the company’s culture. Here’s how to get the hiring manager on your side.

5. Ask questions!

Non-interactive candidates do not make a good impression during the interview. Attention though! Being interactive does not mean co-conducting the interview with the recruiter (which is actually counterproductive) but trying as much as possible to make the interviewer understand your interest in the position for which the selection interview is being conducted. Some interesting questions may be such: What are the corporate values? What are the future prospects for the division in which the position is open? What kind of candidate are you looking for to fill that role?

6. Try to stay calm!

I know what you’re thinking… easier said than done! True. But keep in mind that being calm it’s essential for a good job interview. Your body language says as much about you as your answers to the questions. And remember: proper preparation will allow you to exude confidence!

Always remember to maintain eye contact with the interviewer as you answer questions,

Be sure to pay attention to the question so that you don’t forget it and listen to the entire question (using active listening) before you answer, so you know exactly what the interviewer is asking.

7. Follow up after the interview

Always follow up with a thank-you note reiterating your interest in the position. You can also include any details you may have forgotten to mention during your interview.

It’s definitely worth the extra effort. A Robert Half survey reports that 80% of hiring managers said it was helpful or somewhat helpful to receive a thank-you note after an interview!

We are sure than you’re now ready to nail your job interview. Don’t forget to be yourself and most importantly, believe in yourself and your capabilities. You got this!

Description: The world pandemic has changed most aspects of life. Covid-19 has undoubtedly affected most industries worldwide, and obviously, it has turned most of the work processes upside down. In case if you are wondering how to conduct a recruiting process safely during this pathetic situation, then read on!

You might take extensive care of your customers, but remember that your employees are also working under you and demand proper safety from the company. That is why you must be amending your company’s recruiting process to take care of the security of your interviewees. By proper recruitment, we just don’t mean the interview process, but there is a lot more you need to take care of while hiring an employee now. So, delve into the article to know correctly what steps should be taken to conduct a safe recruiting process in the era of social distancing.

Right Ways of Recruiting During the Era of Social Distancing

Prefer Video Interviews

As of now, you can see that everything around is conducted digitally. Similarly, while recruiting an employee too, it is recommended to choose a digital platform to do the interview. Make sure that the platform you choose offers minimum technical glitch and keeps your data secure.

Choosing the right platform for the interview is very important to gain the potential employee’s trust-related to security in recruiting. If you are planning to conduct an interview, including with your other team members, then choose a recruiting platform that can help you add multiple members with ease.

Create a Safe Environment for an In-person Interview

Well, we understand that not all companies are comfortable with the online recruiting process. And if your company also falls in that category, then keep in mind some basic safety requirements. Firstly, make sure that you instruct every interviewee to wear a mask. Provide proper sanitizing facilities and also decline to shake hands while greeting.

Ensure that wherever the interview is conducted, the place is well sanitized after each person walks out of place. Also, do not allow the crowd of interviewees to stand close to each other. Promote strict instructions for social distancing. If you are comfortable with these basic safety guidelines, conducting an in-person recruiting process won’t be a trouble.

Help Your Team to Coordinate with the New Rules

The entire recruiting procedure needs proper coordination among the team members. Therefore, it is your responsibility to make your team compatible with the new rules. Brief your recruiting manager with the guidelines that you have formulated for the recruiting process during the pandemic. 

Ask your team members to wear formals while conducting an online recruiting interview. Just because the interview platform is shifting from offline to online doesn’t mean that the basic recruiting formalities will be neglected. If they are in charge of conducting the recruiting process in-person, then also brief them with the proper safety guidelines. Perfect coordination among the team members can make the task of recruiting much easier.

Brief the Interviewee About Some Basic Disturbances During Online Interview

The online recruiting process is much different than the offline one. That is why you need to brief the interviewee about the new normal guidelines. Tell them that there might be technical issues between the recruiting process, unwanted background noises, etc.

You can apologize to them later for any of the above mishaps during recruiting. Yet talking about these basic disturbances at the start of the recruiting process, will help you or your team members cut down the embarrassment later.

Focus on Proper Skills of the Interviewee

As of now, we recommend you look for skills like availability and quick learning capacity. The person you are recruiting must be a quick learner to adapt to the new normal easily. As a recruiter, you must hunt for skills that suffice to the needs of the time. It is now very important to find people who can work efficiently following all the safety guidelines.

You should be taking care of the other requirements of the post too. Say, if you are recruiting someone as a blockchain specialist for an online website, then look for a skilled person to create a proper blockchain of online slots for fun. Likewise, search for the necessary skills in addition to the quick learning skills.

Provide Clear Details While Wrapping-up the Interview

Like most other companies, if your company is also following the ‘work from home’ strategy, inform the interviewee about it while recruiting. It is important to inform them about the job circumstances because you cannot afford to hire someone who cannot abide by the work policies.

Also, tell them that it might take a few days or weeks to provide the final decision of the recruiting process. All these basic details must be a part of the wrapping up conversation of the recruiting process.

Conclusion

We hope that this article can help you know the details of the recruiting events that must be followed for a healthy recruiting process during the pandemic. If you follow these basic tips, then you and your team can conduct well-managed interviews even during the era of social distancing. What of the tips mentioned above are you planning to follow while recruiting for your company during the pandemic? Do let us know!

If your schedule is quite flexible then you might consider working abroad for a while as it may be of benefit to our career. Some people may reconsider working abroad because of strong family ties in their host country however taking this leap of faith will prove to be worth it in the long run. Below are some of the top five reasons why you should consider moving abroad for work;

1. Wanderlust

If you have a strong desire to travel the world then working abroad could be an avenue you need to pursue. Working abroad will help you save money and be able to finance your trips around the world. There’s so much to discover and experience in this earth – from meeting new people of different cultures, exploring hidden gems or even seeing the Seven Wonders of the World.

2. Grow your professional network and improve your resume/CV

According to Richard Hanson “Outside of your local environment you will get the chance to network with other stakeholders who may become influential later on when it comes to being tapped on the shoulder for your next internal promotion opportunity. Trust is a major part of doing business in Asia, and LinkedIn just isn’t going to provide the same “look in the eyes” moment of mutual trust and agreement.” This simply means that if you physically grow your network then the better for your career goals.

Employers are usually drawn to people who have worked abroad for a while and this enhances your employability a great deal. Working abroad equips you with transferable skills that are required in any industry.

3. Gain knowledge of your industry in a global perspective

You may decide to stick to your professional field; therefore, it would be a good move for your career goals if you had a clear understanding of how your industry works in other parts of the world. Each country has their own way of doing things and the experience would be a huge asset for your career.

4. Learning
