Now a large number of people are faced with the problem of finding a job. I would like to warn you about possible pitfalls. You are actively looking for a job, which means that you have posted your resume on several of the most popular sites, you buy newspapers and constantly oversee the labor market in your city. You send your resume to the vacancies that interest you, but employers are in no hurry to answer you. Having sent your resume, contact the employer and specify whether he received the resume and when it will be considered. As a rule, a stable company in the market that is looking for an employee has its own website and a landline phone.
When calling a potential employer, the recruiter introduces the interests of which firm, he represents what position they are considering and with what functional responsibilities. For a more detailed conversation, the employee is invited to the office. If the person on the other end of the line cannot say specifically what the company is doing and what you will be doing, and even less does he mention the name of the organization, and insists on a personal conversation, 99 percent of this turns out to be either network marketing or unscrupulous firms who play on the naivete or hopelessness of the applicant. If you nevertheless, despite suspicions, decided to go for an interview, and after a long conversation it turned out that you are suitable for them, but before hiring you, you have to pay for brochures, a course of lectures, authorization of your profile data – as it turned out, this is a check by its security service reliability, and other tricks, I strongly recommend to “thank” and leave .. Recruitment agencies, which are growing exponentially, operate on the same principle, and this despite the fact that there is unemployment in the country!
If you decide to turn to professionals, to a recruiting agency, before giving your hard-earned money for anything, be sure to read the contract, for which you are giving money! Perhaps the agency will provide you with consulting services, that in fact there is a list of vacancies that they could have taken on websites or in newspapers. At the same time, there will be no deception, you will give your money for information, and not for getting a job. Or perhaps you will be offered to “buy a vacancy”, that is, an employee of the recruiting agency will say that you are suitable for the employer, and for providing you with his contact details and a further interview with the employer, you need to pay a symbolic amount. However, no one can give guarantees that in a personal conversation with you, the employer will not take you. Therefore, think for yourself whether it is worth paying money for this opportunity. Most likely, you are not the first one who comes across this, which is why many sites have so-called blacklists of employers. If you have any doubts, go to one of these sites and type in the search engine the office you are interested in. In this difficult time, as in any other, there are people who are ready to capitalize on your ignorance and naivety. Of course, there is work, and if you are active in your search you can find it.
