Searching a job in times of economic crisis

In the last weeks everybody’s talking about economic crisis.
Short time work, dismissals or insolvency are the key words.
But for everyone who’s looking for a job – don’t worry, there is one.

Jobs are not available in the supermarket, you have to search for them.
This means, you have to be flexible in your whole behaviour.
Posting resume on internet, mass mailing of resume, head-hunters or networking are good ways to get a new job. The letter of application has own rules. The first impression is important.
The documents have to be well structured and meaningful.

During the interview you have to be self-confident, your cloths have to be clean and your behaviour has to be friendly. But be careful, don’t wear a mask or dress your up.
Very important is also competence – you have to know your strength and your weak points.
So be informed!
Don’t mix-up self-confidence and arrogance. The biggest mistake in an interview is to be aggressive. Also lying, showing off are negative attitudes.

Everyone who is looking for a job could find one in this difficult time, when he kept the rules. It’s also important not to be very demanding. A job with good opportunities is better than none.
So don’t worry, kept at it!
