Are you a foreigner who wants to come live and work in Chile, yet don´t know where to find jobs or how to get a work permit? This article will explain all you need to know about the Chilean labour market, work permits, and how to apply for jobs.

1. The Chilean labour market
Chile is one of Latin America´s most stable and prosperous nations, economically on par with countries like Poland or Turkey (in terms of GDP per capita). It´s labour market is strongly oriented towards service and natural resource-based industries (like mining, forestry, agriculture and aquiculture), and has benefitted from virtual non-stop economic growth for the past four decades. Yet, in recent years growth has begun to slow down (particularly in mining), and there are signs Chile may be entering a recession. Simultaneously, Chile has been receiving ever larger numbers of immigrants from countries like Peru, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Venezuela, and Spain, forcing the government to question it´s historically generous immigration policies. So far, no changes have been made to immigration policy, but this may change in the near future.

Types of jobs available
What jobs are available depends critically on your level of Spanish.

Jobs that don´t require Spanish
If you´re (Chilean) Spanish isn´t at an advanced level, you will most likely be looking at the following positions:

Tired of that morning commute, those gray cubicle walls, and that very loud gum chewer one seat down? Working from home provides the opportunity to still do a job you love while avoiding the pitfalls of a cramped office space. And for some, it’s not just about escaping gray walls.

Working parents, military spouses, and those who just need a more flexible schedule benefit from a nontraditional work environment. Here are 15 career choices that can be done remotely from home.

Work From Home Jobs
The best part is that you can search for jobs anywhere in the country! Make sure use modify your search for “remote” or “work from home” jobs.

 Appointment Setter
What’s the gig?

Appointment setters work with their company’s sales team to organize in-person appointments. The appointment setter has access to team calendars and arranges schedules for customer interactions. Customer service skills are a high priority, as inbound calls made to schedule appointments can range from curious sales inquiries to vital business arrangements.

Call Center Representative
What’s the gig?

Call center representatives provide an informative voice to customers who need information or help to resolve an issue. The beauty of this gig is that call center representatives can set up shop at home, often needing only a landline telephone connection to start working.

Travel Agent
What’s the gig?

Have a knack for finding the best deals on flights? Love planning out a dream vacation? Travel agents no longer need a storefront office to do business. Most travel work can be done at home. You’ll get the fun task of making travel arrangements for business trips, corporate trips, and family vacations from your kitchen table.

Order Processing
What’s the gig?

Very similar to a call center representative, an at-home order processing job requires phone time and customer service skills. Order processors take customer orders and lead customers through any confusing buying processes. They also update customer profiles and information.

Seasonal Call Support
What’s the gig?

Retailers need seasonal workers to answer phone calls, and summer venues need workers to take on crowded bookings. It’s the ultimate part-time job, because it only happens once or twice a year. Seasonal call support workers provide backup to year-round workers, and can work from the comfort of home. It’s all about timing. You won’t find seasonal work smack in the middle of the Christmas season一those workers were hired weeks earlier and have gone through training to get there. Seasonal work begins to advertise a few months or weeks before the event. Keep an eye on your favorite job board, or use the keyword “seasonal” when searching.

Bilingual Translations
What’s the gig?

Those lucky enough to speak more than one language have the option of becoming translators. Many companies hire work-from-home representatives to answer customer or client calls in another language. Besides verbal translation, fluent readers are needed to translate documentation, another job that can done at home. Being able to fluently speak two or more languages is the main skill set. As a bilinguist, you have double the chances of finding your dream work-from-home job; search for your gig using keywords in both languages.

Financial Services
What’s the gig?

Are you currently an accountant, a financial services specialist, or an account specialist? Congrats! Your job can be performed at home. Many roles in financial services have moved remote. Traditional jobs, like the ones listed above, as well as administrative, processing, or customer service roles are also available.

Sales Agents
What’s the gig?

Forget being a door-to-door salesman. This is phone-to-phone and email-to-email sales.

(The best part is not wearing a suit and tie.) Sales agents make cold calls to businesses or customers, explaining a product or service, and leading the client through purchasing. Nearly every industry has a need for sales agents, so it takes some digging to find your work from home niche. Try adding the search keyword “telecommute” or “work from home” to your sales searches.

Business Developer
What’s the gig?

Business developers spend a lot of time communicating. On the phone, online, over coffee. Showing up at an office isn’t required for this job. Work-from-home business developers call potential clients, make deals, and present materials.

First step: Pick your industry. From healthcare to retail, there’s a need for someone to make a deal. Next, give it a search. Some jobs will require local candidates for the occasional in-person meeting, but most can be done virtually anywhere.

 Consultant
What’s the gig?

Consultants are used to sell a product or idea with personal expertise. Entrepreneurs branch out and become professional consultants of their field一offering insight that no one else can provide. Consultants can also be salespeople with an active participation in the product or service; for example, make-up consultants often wear and use the products they are selling. Cosmetics are a huge avenue for consultants and representatives, and after an investment payment, you can start working right away.

There are two avenues for this one: Consult on your own or with a company. Consultants who are also selling a product need to beware of scams. Trust vetted sites like ZipRecruiter for cosmetics and makeup opportunities. The same resource can be used for tech consultants or business consultants looking for a way to start their work-from-home career.

 Real Estate Coordinator
What’s the gig?

Becoming a real estate agent and earning your real estate license not only means you can work from the comfort of your living room, but you are also your own boss. Earning a license doesn’t mean you have to start as an agent; coordinators are licensed and versed in all legal matters relating to buying and selling. Coordinators work with vendors, agents, and lenders and arrange property showings and deals.

Most real estate coordinator job require a real estate license. While some coordinator jobs may allow you to join without a license, those who want to make the move to working at home should come prepared. Once you have your license, search reliable job boards like ZipRecruiter.

 Digital Marketing
What’s the gig?

Digital marketers push viral content and make sure to #hashtag every brand name. Some experience is necessary, since marketing jobs often include work with analytics, ad statistics, and SEO. Becoming fluent in social media can lead to open doors.

Connecting on social media is vital for a digital marketing position. Every Twitter and Facebook account has someone behind the wheel. When making the move from a cubicle to home, a social media or digital gig is often first posted on a company’s social media channels. Follow your faves, or perform searches with keywords like “remote” or “work from home”

Virtual Assistant
What’s the gig?

Routine tasks like booking travel arrangements and answering emails can become overwhelming. Virtual assistants step in to take on a variety of daily tasks. They can work for a variety of clients such as, executives, small business owners, and journalists. They perform administrative and clerical tasks. All a virtual assistant really needs is a secure internet connection.

This remote job calls for someone who is tech savvy and able to communicate clearly across multiple channels. Communicating through email, phone calls, and Skype makes it easy to reach out across the world and find employers.

 Virtual Fashion Stylist
What’s the gig?

Styling companies are springing up across the country and need fashion stylists to work with their clients. It’s like playing dress-up, but with a paycheck. Fashion stylists usually get their start working retail or costume design, but a love of fashion is the main requirement. With personal shopping sites like Stitchfix or Nordstrom’s Trunk Club, it’s possible to be a stylist right in your living room.

Being familiar with a styling brand and how their company works can be a foot in the door. Current styling clients may be future stylists. Online applications can be found with a simple internet search, or on your favorite styling site.

 Freelance Writer
What’s the gig?

When the only tools you need to complete your job are a laptop and a way with words, your office can be anywhere. Copywriters, bloggers, technical writers and SEO writers can work from home, the coffee shop, or their own backyards. The more you write and build up your portfolio, the more jobs you can get.

Your appearance can count as much as your qualifications. Learn how to dress appropriately.

You have a job interview tomorrow. You've learned everything about the company, you're prepared for any questions they ask, and you even arrived a few minutes early. You couldn't be more ready.

But when you stop in the restroom for a last look in the mirror, your mind starts racing: "Am I dressed the way I should be for this interview?"

"In an interview situation, you're marketing yourself as a product, and so you want and need to have the best image possible," says Amy Glass, a trainer and coach at Brody Communications Ltd. of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, and an expert on presentation skills, business etiquette, professional presence and interpersonal communication.

Presenting a professional image is more about doing your homework than spending money. So as you prepare for your interview, keep these wardrobe tips in mind.

It's OK to Ask What to Wear

In many traditional industries, like finance or accounting, business professional dress will be appropriate: A conservative suit, shirt and tie if you're a man, or a conservative suit if you're a woman, with -- perhaps -- personality shown through your shirt or jewelry, Glass says. In other industries such as advertising, public relations, graphic design and information technology, what to wear might be less clear. If that's the case, Glass says, ask about the company's general dress policies when you're first contacted about an interview.

"You can say to the person you speak with, 'I want to make sure I understand your company culture and dress appropriately,'" Glass notes. "It's not a bad thing at all. In fact, it shows respect."

If in doubt, err on the conservative side. "I've been overdressed at times, and that can be uncomfortable," Glass says. "But that's much better than being underdressed."

Shop Smart

You don't have to buy several suits for different interviews at the same company. In many instances, you can get by with one suit combined with what Glass calls a "capsule dressing" strategy -- varying what you wear with the suit each time.

"If I'm a young woman and I invest in a nice black pantsuit, I could use that one suit for interviews, but change the shirt, jewelry or scarf each time," says Glass.

You Don't Need to Spend a Fortune

Visit higher-end stores, like Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus, to look at interview clothes, Glass says. But when you're ready to buy something and money is tight, head for the outlet stores.

When considering your purchasing options look not so much at the specific price tags on various garments, but at the "cost per wearing," suggests Glass.

"Suppose you see a suit that's $150. If it's a trendy cut and it wasn't made of great fabric, you might be able to wear it once a month for two years. So your cost per wearing is fairly high. If you buy something for $300 instead, in a cut that will last longer -- not trendy but not old-fashioned either, and not screaming the year it was made -- your cost per wearing goes down dramatically. So don't look at the original price so much as how long the piece will be useful to you."

Don't Neglect Accessories

If you have leather shoes, Glass says, make sure they're shined. If you have suede shoes, make sure they're brushed. And if your shoes are five years old, have the soles redone at a shoemaker. If you have a leather briefcase and it's still in good shape, now's the time to use it. If you don't, a nice portfolio binder will do just fine.

Will all the effort and expense you put into your professional image for your interview make any difference? Absolutely, Glass says. In fact, it's essential.

"Your image matters because it shows your attentiveness to detail and gives recruiters an idea of how you'll represent their company to clients, both internally and externally," Glass concludes. "The visual message you send makes a big difference in how you're perceived and, ultimately, whether or not you get the job."

Now in days, we are fortunate that some information resources are on careers are easily accessible by the public. However, some vital information such as career guidance materials should be assessed very carefully in order to opt for the career that is best suited to your skills.  Careers that are fulfilled or they seem very glamorous as a future occupation should be carefully evaluated.  Therefore, before choosing your future career is always thoughtful to gather as much information is possible before giving your final decision.

There are so many available resources other that the given ones (like career guidance) that you should consider and take ‘advantage’ for a border and thoughtful career research.

Use the people you know 
Carefully be advised by your family and friends which can be proved to be some of the best resources as they know your skills very well. Friends and family can put you in contact with particular persons that employed or has experience in your interest field or answer (if able to) some of your questions. These people can prove to give you some vital information about their education (if needed) and training, as well as inform you about their duties in that particular occupation, their personal experiences and problems that they are facing during their work. They can also provide you a list with specific employers that may interest about new members and even get you in touch with them.

Ask employers
Arranging an appointment with an employer on a particular occupation in your interest area, is an excellent opportunity and a primary source of information as he will be able to inform you about key points and procedures that you will need to take. Particular global firms and employers usually arrange friendly meetings with interests groups in order to inform them about their occupations and are very welcoming to answer any questions that are not covered.  Furthermore, employers are posting job applications and job vacancies that are available including additional information like application requirements, training needed, experience required, benefits and wages, career opportunities and paths. Finally visiting employers will help you establish a good idea of what your chosen career will appeal as well as helps you to create a network of professional contacts which is really important.

Visit professional societies, trade groups, and labour unions 
This targeted groups more that often are able to provide information on specific occupations or even related occupations that are located under your interest area. These particular groups usually have the required knowledge to give you advice and cover areas such as educational background and training requirements.  Attending in such meeting is very good as these groups may be trainers or may have the ability to put you in contact with training members or organisations that are able to provide training within the particular field.

Arrange appointments with guidance and career counsellors 
Qualified career counsellors offer vital advice and help you to take the right choice about your career. Career guidance people can help you to discover what occupations are best for you as they used to perform some tests to observe and determine your interests and strengths, and help you evaluate your options. Furthermore, they are skilled to provide to you assistance on what educational or training institutions are best appropriate for your goals and assist about their entry requirements and ways of finance such institutions.  Counsellors and career advisors in Cyprus can be found in schools, in private institutions or in private counselling agencies.

Use the Internet and Internet available resources
Internet is a very good source of information and contains many available career resources which are easily accessible. Many of the information that can be found online includes lists of job vacancies, advises and expert advises on particular occupations, recommendations of future occupations, information on exiting carers online carer guidance tests and many other vital relevant resources. However, information that are available online must always cross referenced with other resources and be based according to the local that you are interest. An advice is not to get ‘tricked’ about salaries that are given in other countries that you are not interest in working as salaries can differ from country to country.

Use the internet very thoughtful and evaluate your resources before your final decision. Make sure that you are able to identify what information is a personal experience and opinion and what information is a fact.

Job Description:

Can you imagine being a vital member of team that is working to complete a major federal government initiative? Can you imagine working side-by-side with a team dedicated to improving our government systems and ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our veterans and other federal employees? CSRA is seeking talented and resourceful Data Entry Operators.



The Mandate

The Defense Manpower Data Center requires Business and Data Architecture services related to Virtual Lifetime Electronic Records (VLER) and Integrated Electronic Health Record (iEHR) initiatives. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD) have been partnering to meet the President's April 09, 2009 mandate that "Both Departments [VA and DoD] will work together to define and build a system that will ultimately contain administrative and medical information from the day an individual enters military service throughout their military career, and after they leave the military." As part of these initiatives, CSRA leads DoD’s effort to resolve duplicate identities, both with DoD and between DoD and VA systems.



The Tool

DMDC is currently using the IBM Initiate tool product for both probabilistic search and duplicate person identification/resolution/prevention. This tool is a core element of the planned VLER architecture between DoD/MHS and VA, with a major new phase soon to begin that will unify the DoD and VA initiate implementations into “One Initiate”. Although the Initiate tool will help identify duplicate identities within the DoD and VA patient populations, there are tremendous patient safety issues associated with merging false duplicates who are not, in fact, the same person. As such, the Initiate algorithm generates “clerical manual review tasks” for any potential duplicates for whom the level of certainty is below a defined threshold.



What will you be doing each day?

We need bright, detailed oriented analysts to independently review the underlying identity and demographic data of all the pairs of potential duplicate patients. As a data entry operator, you will utilize your problem-solving skills to determine whether the identities should be merged or un-linked. Each day you will be tasked to analyze the queue of clerical manual review tasks generated by the Initiate tool product. You will utilize Initiate’s Inspector COTS tool as well as DMDC’s in-house tools such as Person Finder, QA Tools, etc.



What are the requirements for this role?

A High School diploma (bachelor’s degree preferred)

Detail oriented skills

Ability to research, analyze, and solve duplication problems

Strong oral and written communication skills

Basic computer skills

*US citizenship is required for this government client

*Government client requires vetting before new hire can start. The average wait for completion of vetting is 3 months.



Desired Skills:

Demonstrated skills meeting deadlines

Preferably 1-2 years’ experience working in professional office environment

Some experience with SQL and relational databases is a plus

Migration can be an extremely long and tiring process regardless of which country you are attempting to enter. Depending on the overall motivation when applying for citizenship, some may have a slightly shorter waiting period than others. Federal skilled workers, or FSW, are of greater value to a country and are therefore of a higher priority, especially in recession-proof industries. See the Canadian IELTS / Entry program for more. For example, doctors, dentists, and teachers are professions that will always be necessary. That’s good news if you are a teacher wanting to immigrate to Canada.

Provincial and territorial governments operate their own school systems, and are responsible for setting out the regulations for teaching jobs in Canada. The rules are broadly similar across the country, but with some local differences.

Selection Factors for FSW and Approval for Teachers
Highest level of education completed; higher than high school diploma preferred
Work experience shows at least one full year of employment that falls into one of the following occupational categories: managerial, professional, or technical/skilled
Fluent in French and/or English (both spoken in Canada)
Current age
Overall adaptability (usually tested through an assessment quiz)
Current state of employment (or offer)
A bachelor’s degree in Education and a provincial certificate is required for teaching jobs in Canada. Obtaining certification can be a slow process, so it’s best to start before your arrival in Canada if possible.

Other factors are considered to assess eligibility for teaching jobs in Canada. For instance, the applicant may need:

Recent teaching experience.
Familiarity with the culture and curriculum of the Canadian education system
Fitness to teach, including character reference and successful criminal record checks.
Supervised student teaching may also be required. For secondary teaching jobs in Canada, it is recommended to complete a major in one teachable subject, and a minor in another teachable subject. These include languages, sciences, social studies, and business.

Current Restrictions
As of July, 2012, the CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) halted acceptance of applications for the FSW program. It is noted that when the program’s updated criteria takes effect, applications will likely be accepted once again. This is hoped to be in full force in the beginning of 2013. However, this halt does not affect applicants that:

Have a current employment offer (already arranged in Canada) or
are internationally enrolled, or were enrolled within the last year in a Canadian PhD program.
Cost of Living Proof
Since Canada is not in the habit of allowing anyone to sleep on their streets, they will want to know just how you plan to begin your life once you have crossed the border. Any dependents you have will also be taken into consideration.

Having too much money without a paper trail is a quick way to get your application dismissed; while lacking enough funds to sustain your family for more than a month will typically end the same way.

Automatic Dismissal
Certain applicants will most likely be denied immediately. Ensure none of these discrepancies get in your way before moving forward.

Possession of a human/international rights violation
A criminal history
DUI convictions, whether because of alcohol or drugs, will most likely get you turned down
Ties or past links to organized crime
Showing certain, especially contagious, health conditions
Lack of proof of, or not enough financial security
Discrepancies on you applications
Anyone not complying with Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, or IRPA
Anyone found to be in relation to an inadmissible person
The First Step
If you are ready to take your teaching career to Canada, contact an immigration lawyer that specializes in Canadian immigration. Most lawyers offer very affordable or even free consultations to hear about your situation. If the consultation is positive, the lawyer can discuss the cost of his services from there, along with explaining exactly how much easier he can make the entire process for you. The first step to immigrating to Canada as a teacher begins with a simple assessment.  Contact Niren and Associates today to arrange your consultation.

DEADLINE: 3 January, 2019

One of my two-year-old twins has just started nursery. She is extremely articulate and surprises me every day with the leaps in her language and vocabulary. I say this as a very proud and an openly and explicitly biased parent, of course. But the most surprising thing is the very obvious Liverpool accent that she has picked up. It comes out in the way she pronounces ‘bird’ and ‘book’ and the way her sentences end with a particular intonation. ‘Oh no, she is picking up a scouse accent,’ I sighed, the first time I heard it. And, as I said this aloud, even when I thought that I meant it as a flippant remark, it made me reevaluate my own biases against a particular accent. Why did I not wish for her to have this particular accent? Is it because I consider it to be inferior in some way? Or, is it because I know that people with certain regional accents are disadvantaged when it comes to career progression and opportunities in life? I do not explicitly ever think like this. In fact, I love the accent, and the people here in this part of the country, but it could be symptomatic of hidden biases, and the way we internalize external messages from all around us.

People have linguicism or “accenticism” without realizing it. When we impose our judgments about a specific person on the whole group or community that this individual belongs to then we have a bias. Research has shown that we tend to unconsciously group people into a specific social class and prejudice against them based on their accents. By thinking that someone with a particular accent is not very smart or clever, we are showing our unconscious bias.

Accents are an integral part of our identity. They are also prone to quick judgments and stereotypes. Research has shown that it takes us less than 30 seconds to linguistically profile a speaker, and make quick decisions on their ethnic origin, socio-economic class, and their backgrounds. And, we are more likely to be biased against speakers who have accents different to ours or are markers for undesirable characteristics that we unconsciously attributed to certain accents. We form a hierarchical view of accents as per societal and cultural acceptability, and assign values such as pleasantness and prestige but also intelligence. It is widely accepted that the primary reason behind biases is self-constructed social identity and high ethnocentric attitude. The term ethnocentrism and its fundamental concept were introduced in social science by Sumner, who defined it as ‘‘the technical name for this view of things in which one’s own group is the center of everything, and all others are scaled and rated with reference to it’’. Rosina Lippi-Green refers to this as “the standard language ideology”, where many people believe the dialect with the highest social prestige is also the only correct and valid form of the language. This is why politicians change their accents to conform or appeal to a certain demographic.

I still carry traces of my Indian accent and recently wrote this for The Independent newspaper, which resulted in many messages on social media telling me how I did not understand humor, and that it is perfectly ok, and just “banter” to joke about everyone’s accent. However, this is not a trivial issue. Research has shown that speaking with a non-native accent is linked to career possibilities and progression, as it can influence managers’ perceptions of speakers’ fluency, and expectations concerning non-native speakers’ performance abilities. Moreover, this research also suggests that speaking with a non-native accent may lead speakers to feel excluded and devalued at work.  Paul Graham admitted in an interview that “a strong foreign accent” counted against entrepreneurs when he was considering admitting them to his programme. Later, he clarified saying that “the problem is not the cultural signal accents send, but the practical difficulty of getting a start-up off the ground when people can’t understand you”. These comments were symptomatic of the wider bias that foreign and even regional accents are not very clearly understood, and show that a foreign accent is discriminated against and often a barrier to career progression in the modern workplace.

There is a large volume of research reports on preventing biases against people based on their skin color, ethnicity, or gender. However, accent related biases appear to be more acceptable and less opposed than racial, religious or gender discrimination, even though globally accent-bias is a widely acknowledged form of discrimination.

A quick survey of various non-discrimination policies in different institutions in the U.K. shows that race, ethnicity, and gender are explicitly mentioned when talking about inclusivity in the workplace. However, an accent is never mentioned.

So, what can be done to minimize accent discrimination in the workplace?

Acknowledge our unconscious bias and offer training to the staff, especially those who sit on recruitment panels. This is something that has to be done sensitively. Unconscious Bias training can turn into a simple box-ticking exercise and so it is important to use this to enable the employees to assess and evaluate their own biases in an open and non-judgemental way. I run ‘know your bias’ training workshops for many governmental and corporate organizations, and my workshops and talks are interactive, used as a launch pad. This has to be something we all do every day rather than as a one-off session.
Create inclusive workplace practices. We must all make a conscious effort to look beyond prejudices relating to the delivery of a message to the actual content of that message. It is important that we keep all communication as inclusive and non-judgmental as possible. Simply asking a speaker to slow down, asking for clarification of anything we find ambiguous and asking a speaker to confirm whether or not a paraphrase of what they just said genuinely matches up with what they meant establishes a strong foundation for respect and understanding.
Create diverse teams and workplaces. It is important to incorporate more team members from diverse linguistic background. This will ensure that everyone is more acclimatized and adapted to varied accents. This will heighten multilingual sensitivity, which might reduce the ethnolinguistic notion and accent hierarchies.
Provide strategies and toolkits. Creative toolkits can support diverse teams and create effective communication practices in the workplaces between members with different backgrounds and accents. As part of our bias training workshops, we provide such toolkits and strategies that support the employees in becoming more aware of their linguistic biases and able to find words and phrases that are not constrained by regional variations.
A person with an accent cannot, according to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, be discriminated against if they are able to communicate and be understood effectively in English. An employer may base an employment decision on accent only if that accent materially interferes with effective spoken communication required for performing professional duties, having a real-terms business impact. However, these are still vague parameters and we continue to hold hidden personal and cultural biases against certain accents, organizing them in hierarchical order, and making decisions based on our perception of a speaker’s linguistic background.

We need much more awareness of accent bias in the workplace and every day life, and this can only be done through active intervention and bias training and management.

According to a study published in the journal Brain and Behavior, 20 percent of the population is considered highly sensitive. If you’re a highly sensitive person (HSP), you’re biologically wired to be more sensitive and responsive to the world around you. Being an HSP effects lots of parts of your life, including the types of job environments you thrive in. Here are types of careers that suit your personality best.

CREATIVE FIELDS

One of an HSPs greatest gifts?

Creativity. Jobs that tap into your artistic talents whether that’s writing and graphic design or acting and singing are creatively fulfilling and often allow you to work independently while letting you share your gifts with an audience.

HEALTHCARE

HSPs are typically highly intuitive and empathetic, meaning they’re great with patients in a one-on-one setting. Not all healthcare professions are suited to HSPs (high-stakes surgery, for example, is likely too stressful), but sensitive folks can thrive as hospice workers, counselors or physical therapists just as long as you’re able to maintain a healthy separation from clients.

BUSINESS

A common misconception when it comes to HSPs: they can’t be leaders. While an HSP isn’t likely to ruthlessly claw his or her way to the top of the corporate ladder, that doesn’t mean they can’t head up a team effectively. Detail-oriented HSPs can thrive as small-business owners, since they’ll likely create a welcoming, nurturing atmosphere for employees.

FREELANCE

OK, so this one’s broad, but self-employment is a no-brainer for an HSP. The ability to set your own schedule and work on your own terms sounds pretty lovely, no? Plus, since you’re probably pretty diligent and detail-oriented, you’ll thrive at self-motivating and keeping track of different projects you’re working on for different clients.

CLERGY

Many HSPs are deeply spiritual, and often take their beliefs more seriously than those around them. At the same time, HSPs are likely to be encouraging and open-minded. This makes for a potent combination in any clergy person. Of course, HSPs tend to be more intuitive than dogmatic about their spirituality, and may have to put up with a certain amount of structure to work as clergy. But that could be well worth it, especially to serve in one of the few professions where sensitivity and intuition are still valued.

Do you need to write a cover letter to apply for a job? In most cases, the answer is yes. Your cover letter may make the difference between obtaining a job interview or having your resume ignored, so it makes good sense to devote the necessary time and effort to writing effective cover letters.

Here's all the information you need to write a cover letter that will get your application noticed. Review these tips for what to include in a cover letter, how to format it, and examples of many different professionally written cover letters.

What is a Cover Letter?
Before you start writing a cover letter, you should familiarize yourself with the document’s purpose. A cover letter is a document sent with your resume to provide additional information on your skills and experience.

The letter provides detailed information on why you are qualified for the job you are applying for. Don’t simply repeat what’s on your resume -- rather, include specific information on why you’re a strong match for the employer’s job requirements. Think of your cover letter as a sales pitch that will market your credentials and help you get the interview. As such, you want to make sure your cover letter makes the best impression on the person who is reviewing it.

A cover letter typically accompanies each resume you send out. Employers use cover letters as a way to screen applicants for available jobs and to determine which candidates they would like to interview. If an employer requires a cover letter, it will be listed in the job posting. Even if the company doesn’t ask for one, you may want to include one anyway.

It will show that you have put some extra effort into your application.

The Different Types of Cover Letters
There are three general types of cover letters. Choose a type of letter that matches your reason for writing.

The application letter which responds to a known job opening
The prospecting letter which inquires about possible positions
The networking letter which requests information and assistance in your job search
When you are applying for a job that has been posted by a company that’s hiring, you will be using the “application letter” style.

What to Include in Your Cover Letter
A cover letter should complement, not duplicate, your resume. Its purpose is to interpret the data-oriented, factual resume and add a personal touch to your application for employment. Find out more about the differences between a resume and a cover letter to make sure you start writing your cover letter with the correct approach.

A cover letter is often your earliest written contact with a potential employer, creating a critical first impression. Something that might seem like a small error, like a typo, can get your application immediately knocked off the list. On the other hand, even if your cover letter is error-free and perfectly written, if it is generic (and makes no reference to the company, or to any specifics in the job description) it is also likely to be rejected by a hiring manager.

Effective cover letters explain the reasons for your interest in the specific organization and identify your most relevant skills or experiences. Determine relevance by carefully reading the job description, evaluating the skills required and matching them to your own skills.

Think of instances where you applied those skills, and how you would be effective in the position available.

 

What to Leave Off Your Cover Letter
There are some things that you don’t need to include in the cover letters you write. The letter is about your qualifications for the job, not about you personally. There is no need to share any personal information about yourself or your family in it. If you don’t have all the qualifications the employer is seeking, don’t mention it. Instead, focus on the credentials you have that are a match. Don’t mention salary unless the company asks for your salary requirements. If you have questions about the job, the salary, the schedule, or the benefits, it’s not appropriate to mention them in the letter.

One thing that’s very important is to not write too much. Keep your letter focused, concise, and a few paragraphs in length. It’s important to convey just enough information to entice the hiring manager to contact you for an interview.

If you write too much, it’s probably not going to be read.

Customize Your Cover Letter
It is very important that your cover letter be tailored to each position you are applying to. This means more than just changing the name of the company in the body of the letter.

Each cover letter you write should be customized to include:

Which job you're applying for (include the job title in your opening paragraph)
How you learned about the job (and a referral if you have one)
Why you are qualified for the job (be specific)
What you have to offer the employer, and why you want to work at this specific company (match your skills to the job description, and read up on the organization’s mission, values and goals to mention in your letter)
Thank you for being considered for the job
Here’s more on how to personalize your cover letter.

Cover Letter Writing Guidelines
Here's an outline of the items that should be included in every cover letter. Before you get started, it can be helpful to review some cover letter samples, just so you have a visual of how everything fits on the page.

These cover letter examples, both written and email, are designed for a variety of different types of job applications and employment inquiries. Do be sure to take the time to personalize your letter, so it’s a strong endorsement of your ability to do the job for which you’re applying.

Header
A cover letter should begin with both your and the employer's contact information (name, address, phone number, email) followed by the date. If this is an email rather than an actual letter, include your contact information at the end of the letter, after your signature.

Your contact information should include:
First and Last Name
Street Address
City, State Zip
Phone
Email

Salutation
Begin your cover letter salutation with "Dr./Mr./Ms. Last Name." If you are unsure if your contact is male or female, you can write out their full name. If you do not know the employer's name, simply write, "Dear Hiring Manager." This is better than the generic and formal, “To Whom It May Concern.”

Review information on how to choose the right cover letter greeting to select one that works for the job and company you’re applying to.

Introduction
Begin your introduction by stating what job you are applying for. Explain where you heard about the job, particularly if you heard about it from a contact associated with the company. Briefly mention how your skills and experience match the company and/or position; this will give the employer a preview of the rest of your letter. Your goal in the introduction is to get the reader's attention. To get started, see examples of engaging opening sentences for cover letters.

Body
In a paragraph or two, explain why you are interested in the job and why you make an excellent candidate for the position. Mention specific qualifications listed in the job posting, and explain how you meet those qualifications. Do not simply restate your resume, but provide specific examples that demonstrate your abilities.

Remember, actions speak louder than words, so don’t just “tell” the reader that you are, for example, a great team player with strong communication skills and an excellent attention to detail. Instead, use tangible examples from your work experience to “show” these traits in action. Here’s more information on what to include in the body section of a cover letter.

Closing
In the closing section of your cover letter, restate how your skills make you a strong fit for the company and/or position. If you have room (remember, just like your resume, your cover letter should be no longer than one page - here's more information on how long a cover letter should be) you can also discuss why you would like to work at that specific company.

State that you would like the opportunity to interview or discuss employment opportunities. Explain what you will do to follow-up, and when you will do it. Thank the employer for his/her consideration.

Signature
Use a complimentary close, and then end your cover letter with your signature, handwritten, followed by your typed name. If this is an email, simply include your typed name, followed by your contact information, after the complimentary close.

Format Your Cover Letter
Your cover letter should be formatted like a professional business letter. The font should match the font you used on your resume, and should be simple and easy to read. Basic fonts like Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Verdana, and Times New Roman work well. A font size of 10 or 12 points is easy to read. Standard margins are 1” on the top, bottom, and left and right sides of the page.

Add a space between the header, salutation, each paragraph, the closing, and your signature. You can reduce the font and margin sizes to keep your document on a single page, but do be sure to leave enough white space for your letter to be easy to read.

Edit and Proofread Your Cover Letter
Remember to edit and proof your cover letter before sending it. It may sound silly, but make sure you include the correct employer and company names - when you write multiple cover letters at once, it is easy to make a mistake. Printing out and reading the letter aloud is a good way to catch small typos, such as missing words, or sentences that sound odd.

Always double-check the spelling of your contact's name, as well as the company name. Here are more tips for proofreading a cover letter. If possible, enlist a friend or a family member to help proofread your cover letter, as two pairs of eyes are better than one and even professional proofreaders don’t always catch their own mistakes.

Best Ways To Find Jobs Online And Offline In 2019

In this article I’m going to walk you through the best ways to find jobs quickly and easily, without wasting time or having to submit tons of applications on job boards without hearing back.

We’ll look at the 3 best ways to find jobs online and offline, and then I’m going to give you a few extra tips to help make your job search easier.

So if you can’t find a job, or are just starting a job search and want to get hired quickly, you’re in the right place.

Let’s get started.

1: Using Your Network to Find a Job
I’ll start by saying I know not everyone has a strong network they can rely on. It’s okay. But whoever you do know, you should talk to and utilize. And you should make new connections/relationships to make your job search easier as well.

Rule 1: Tell EVERYONE
The first rule of job search networking: Tell people you’re job hunting. Nobody can help you if you don’t tell people.

I once landed an interview at a top tech company in Boston by telling my haircutter I was job hunting.

What happened? Earlier in the week, a hiring manager had come in and dropped off his business card in case the haircutter finds any recent graduates who are job hunting. I mentioned it, he gave me the card, and the rest is history.

Rule 2: Always Try to Get Introduced to a Company
Also, think of anyone in your existing network (former coworkers, classmates, friends and family, etc.) who work at companies or have connections to companies you might want to work at.

Approach them and ask if they know if the company is hiring. Explain why you thought the company would be a good fit and see if they have any ideas how you might be able to get in contact with them.

It’s best to ask casually like this, rather than directly asking for a big favor upfront… unless you’re very close with the person you’re talking to (like a sibling, best friend, parent, etc.)

Why It’s Always Better to Get Introduced
Any time you can get introduced directly to a company or hiring manager, you will have a much higher chance of getting the interview. You might even skip the conversation with a recruiter or HR and go right in to meet the hiring manager.

So always get introduced to a company if you can. This is faster and FAR more effective than applying online, or other “cold” approach methods.

That’s why networking will always be one of the best ways to find jobs, and the first methods you should go to.

2: Apply Directly to Targeted Companies
You should spend a good portion of your time finding companies that fit what you want to be doing in your career, and apply directly via email or via their “Careers” page.

This includes companies that are hiring, but also companies who are not hiring.

Your odds of hearing back from a company that doesn’t appear to be hiring are lower, but you’ll have virtually no competition if they do reply and show interest in your background.

So aim for a mix, maybe 70% companies who are hiring, and 30% companies who don’t appear to be hiring or don’t have a job that fits your background listed on their site.

Reasons Companies Might Interview You Even if a Job Wasn’t Posted
They were planning on posting a relevant job soon, and you caught them at the right time (you’d be amazed how much luck goes into a job search. This can absolutely happen)
They’re growing fast and want talented people in general. Many growth-stage companies are always looking for ambitious talent, and if you go out of your way to email them even when they don’t have a job posted, you’ll definitely get their attention!
What to Put in Your Email/Application
However you choose to apply to these companies, make sure to explain why they caught your eye in your cover letter or email.

Saying “I need a job” isn’t..........

With focus and motivation, it’s possible to find the right jobs in Canada for you. It’s important to plan thoroughly so you can accomplish this crucial part of the moving process.

These tips have been compiled for you based on our experience and lots of feedback from our loyal contributors. Please read them, understand them, and apply them, so you can plan for success.

1. Your Resume (or ‘CV’)
Ensure you have carefully read our Resume Format in Canada section before sending your resume to employers. Poorly written resumes will hinder you from making an impact. Read these tips carefully, ensure you understand the objective, and apply these simple concepts to help your resume impress an employer. Your resume is the all-important first impression, so don’t fall short at this crucial first step when applying for jobs in Canada.

2. Be selective
In many professions, responding to ads in the paper and over the internet are the least effective ways to find jobs in Canada. Be selective in your job search. Do not blanket bomb 30 companies with the same resume and cover letter, as managers in companies talk. This is a common mistake that people make. Networking, cold calling, and informational interviews are much more effective ways to distribute your resume.

3. Be enthusiastic
Always ensure you have a contact for the company and follow up within a week of submitting your resume to show your interest. “Thank-you” emails after an interview set you apart from other candidates applying for jobs in Canada.

Tip: Hand-written notes are seldom seen nowadays, so use them to differentiate yourself.

4. Get strong endorsements
It’s easier to find jobs in Canada if you have strong references. Try to obtain employment references from your home country beforehand and provide them, but only if relevant to the role.

5. Use the tools available to you
Leverage LinkedIn. It’s a fast-growing social media tool, so set up your online resume and network as recruiters and employers are using this tool every day to source candidates.

5. Use the tools available to you
Leverage LinkedIn. It’s a fast-growing social media tool, so set up your online resume and network as recruiters and employers are using this tool every day to source candidates.

6. Learn how to network
Effective networking allows you to gain useful insight and gain crucial contacts, both socially and professionally. Research networking events for your profession or ask contacts how best to meet more people in your field.

Remember, over 50 per cent of positions filled never get advertised publicly, so don’t sit at home waiting for that job to come up. Networking is crucial to finding jobs in Canada. You need to get your name out there across your industry so that when a job comes up, you are in position to be called in.

Get the word out to all of the local contacts you have that you’re looking for work, and always look to build new contacts, as it’s crucial to your success in a new city.

One way to expand your local network of contacts (and get that all-important Canadian work experience on your resume) is to volunteer. Visit GoVolunteer.ca to find volunteer opportunities where you can meet people across all sectors of society.

7. Be open to help
Never turn down an offer of help. Be proactive and determined. Email/telephone the person who offered you help the next day and be sure to thank them for any guidance they’ve provided.

8. Get accredited
Your profession may require your foreign qualifications to be accredited in Canada. Professions such as teaching, physiotherapy, nursing, and social work, among others, usually require additional accreditation. This process can take up to six months so do your research and plan ahead.

9. Be confident – you deserve to be.
Moving to a new country is a challenge, but you’ve accomplished it! Finding jobs in Canada when you have to build your support network from scratch is also tricky, but you can accomplish this too.

It’s important to believe in yourself throughout the process – and to make sure others know you believe in yourself too. Watch this useful TED Talk on how small adjustments to your body language can help.

When you're in high school and haven't worked much or at all, it can be hard to find a job. In fact, teenagers have a really high unemployment rate. However, if you're a high school student looking for a job, there are things you can do to help yourself get hired and get your application noticed.

Don't Be Shy
Tell everyone you know you are looking for a job. Many jobs aren't advertised, and you may be able to get a good job lead from a friend or family member. The more people you tell, the better your chances of finding a job. Also, try stopping in at local businesses, and ask if they are hiring. Your motivation and self assurance will impress the manager, and might get you an interview.


Start Close to Home
One good way to get experience when you are a high school student is to start by working for friends and neighbors. Babysitting, mowing lawns, landscaping, yard work, shoveling snow, and pet sitting all can be included on your resume. In addition, the people you work for will be able to give you a reference when you apply for other jobs.

Keep an Open Mind
Don't limit yourself to certain types of jobs. This is a tough market for young job seekers, and you may not be able to find a job doing what you want to do. If you need a paycheck, keep an open mind when it comes to what you'll do to earn that paycheck. The more flexibility you have, the more opportunities you'll be able to apply for. Plus, even if the job wasn't your first choice, it may turn out to be better than you expected. Here's a list of job options that students are often hired for to review.

Check the Rules
Depending on how old you are, there are only certain jobs you can do and hours you can work. Check the Child Labor Law (you count as a child if you're under 18 when it comes to working) regulations to see how they apply to you. The minimum age you can work at paid non-agricultural employment is 14. If you're 14 or 15, check this list of employers who hire applicants your age.


Get Working Papers
In some states, workers under eighteen may need to obtain working papers officially called Employment/Age Certificates, in order to legally be able to work. Here's more on working papers and where to get them. If your location requires them, you'll need to show them to an employer when you're hired.

Write a Resume
A resume, even though it may not be required by employers, can help you stand out from the competition. Even though you may not have much information to include, a resume shows that you're serious about your job search. Here are tips for writing your first resume and a video on how to write a resume for teens.

Check With the Guidance Office
Your High School Guidance Office staff should be able to help you with job listings and job search advice. There may be a bulletin board with job postings, a notebook with listings, and/or an online job board. They might also have internship opportunities, which may (or may not) be paid, but will give you valuable experience.

Job Search Online
Check websites that list local job openings. You can use the job search engines like Indeed.com to search by keyword part-time and your location to find job listings in your city or town. Check your local Chamber of Commerce website (Google your city/town name and Chamber of Commerce to find it) to see if they list jobs.


Apply for Lots of Jobs
Apply for as many jobs as possible. Keep applying, rather than waiting to hear back from one before you try for another position. Spend as much time as you can applying, and follow up by calling or emailing to check on your application.


Dress Appropriately
When you are applying in-person for jobs and interviewing, dress appropriately. Use the "Grandma Rule;" if your grandmother would like your interview outfit, you are dressed properly. Here's more on what to wear to a high school job interview or to apply for jobs.


Be Flexible
Be as flexible as possible when it comes to your availability. The more flexible you are, the more likely you are to get a job offer. Also, know when you're available. Bring a list of the hours you can work with you when you apply in person or go an interview.

Consider Volunteering
Even though you won't get a paycheck, volunteering is a great way to add experience to your resume which will help you find a paid position in the future. Check with your high school ​guidance office and with local non-profit organizations for volunteer opportunities.

You’ve found a job you want to go for, but the thought of filling out an application form fills you with dread. Where do you start? The trick is to break the process into bitesize tasks to make it much more manageable.

What is a job application?
The job or employment application is the official form that employers ask all applicants for a position to fill out. ... The job application is a legally defensible listing of your job applicant's employment history, educational background, degrees, qualifications, references, and more.

Some companies require you to fill in an application form (or even several) to apply for a job. They do this is to find out whether you’re legally permitted to do the job, to get your contact details and to find out if you’re right for their company.

After that, as the applicant, it gives you the opportunity to outline your education history, any skills you have that are relevant to the job and your experience. This includes voluntary work, previous jobs and your current employment.

Application forms often require you to write a few hundred words, giving the employer the chance to see your literacy and written communication skills. As such applications may take more time than just firing off a CV. But, by filling one out you show the employer that you’re serious about wanting the job.

When do you need to fill it in?
Many job applications are long, so don’t leave it too close to the deadline before getting started. Give yourself time so you don’t have to rush.

What do they involve?
Most application forms include the following sections:

1. Personal details
This is the most straightforward part. Make sure you include all the relevant information in the correct sections – that includes your name, email address and phone number.

2. Education
You will need to fill in all your qualifications from secondary school (often including grades) up to degree level and beyond, if relevant. However, if you’re a more seasoned professional and are applying for senior positions, you can summarise your school achievements in a short sentence.

It’s important that you have the minimum educational requirements outlined for the job – many companies now use applicant tracking systems(ATSs), so if you don’t meet the asking grades, your application may be instantly rejected.

Interestingly, ATSs are often the reason for filling out an application form in addition to sending in your CV. The ATSs scan your application to ensure you’re a relevant fit for the role, and if you’re successful, a human recruiter will read your CV.

3. Employment history
It’s important to include your complete employment history, starting with your most recent job and working backwards – not forgetting any internships, voluntary or unpaid jobs and even holiday jobs.

If you have taken a gap year, make sure you include the details, outlining what you did and where you went, what jobs or volunteer work you undertook during that time and any skills you acquired along the way.

4. Activities and interests
When it comes to your personal interests and hobbies, include only those that may be relevant to the job you’re applying for – but remember to think outside the box. If you’re a member of a local amateur dramatics society, for example, and are applying for a job that requires any level of public speaking, ensure you demonstrate how one can benefit the other.

5. References
Ideally, you should have two references. One should be from your current employer, the other can be from a different employer, or a character reference from a current colleague.

If that’s not applicable – or possible – make sure you include someone who has worked with you in a permanent position, or someone who worked with you during a volunteering stint or internship.

6. Personal statement
Some application forms require you to write a personal, or supporting, statement. This is where you need to outline your reasons for applying for the job and how you meet the required criteria. Take time to put this together – it will allow you to demonstrate your suitability for the job.

Include what made you apply for the job, how your experience and skills make you the ideal candidate for this role and how your personality would make you an asset to the company. You should also provide examples from your current or previous employment to support your case.

Finally, don’t forget to include why this job would be a good move for your career and your long-term goals – but keep this part brief. The main aim of your personal statement it to showcase your suitability for the role and show how you can bring value to the employer.

7. Competency questions
These questions outline common work-based situations and ask how you would resolve them, using examples from your experience. It may be as straightforward as demonstrating when you worked as part of a team and what part you played in it. However, competency-based questions can occasionally be a bit trickier – they may involve describing a situation in which you implemented change, for example, and ask you to link it back to a time when you used certain key skills.

Time to hire is at its highest, with the entire hiring process taking roughly 23 days. The length can leave many job seekers less than optimistic when looking for a new career. If you’re looking to make a move soon, you may wonder if there’s anything you can do to speed up a lengthy process. Fortunately, we’ve compiled a list of things you can do to get hired faster.

From your resume to the follow-up, these tricks are what you need to find your dream job and hopefully get hired faster. See for yourself:



 # The hiring process is approx. 23 days long, but here are 20 little secrets to getting hired fast:
1. Get Specific
Time is precious when looking for a new job. Don’t waste it by filling out a bunch of applications to places you are only semi-interested in. Instead, take the time to figure out the type of position you would really enjoy and then devote yourself to finding something that matches. Most job boards and recruiting sites allow you to make specific searches to match you with a job that you would enjoy and succeed at.

Write out a few keywords that fit job duties and the work experience you have, so you can use each sites’ search functionality to your advantage. These specific searches also allow you to specify how close the results will be location-wise as well as pay and employment level. The results will point you to available positions much closer aligned to your desires. Once you have a match, filling out the application will be much less tedious than applying for a position you aren’t as interested in.

2. Don’t Settle
Remain specific when it comes to where you want to work. Just because there are 10 openings in your field, doesn’t mean you should apply to all of them. Research their employer brand online and speak with friends and family, so that you find a company and position that fits your work values and needs.

Before starting your research, try compiling a list of what the perfect company is to you, the type of work environment you thrive in and any companies that excite you.

3. Don’t Just Quit
You’ve done your research and submitted your application/resume, but now what? Keep your eyes open for other potential employers and opportunities as they come available, it’s better to apply for many positions that interest you than just applying to one or two.

If a company sends a rejection letter, take this opportunity to ask them what you could have done differently, and build on that for next time.

4. Remember the Cover letter
Hiring managers only spend between 5-7 seconds reviewing a resume, so it’s important to grab their attention with a cover letter. It’s best practice to change the cover letter for each position you apply for.

# Want to get hired fast? Don't forget a cover letter and implement this best practice: 



Give a brief summary of your qualifications and touch on how you plan to help the company thrive. Hiring managers want to know what sets you apart from other applicants. Without this, it’s possible your resume may not stand out and you may be passed up for the position.

5. Job Specific Resume
Just like your cover letter, each resume you submit should focus on that particular job. Be sure to highlight certain skills and experience that caters to that position.

Without these, you might be missed by an applicant tracking system or the hiring manager and be immediately disqualified for the job. Leave out things that have very little to do with the position, so you have room for what does.

6. Keep it Simple
If you’ve been in the workforce for years and have pages of experience should you list it all? Not quite. When it comes to stating experience and work history, keep it recent and simple.

The past three jobs or 5-7 years of employment are enough to offer a clear view into your work experience. Offering too much information can be overwhelming and could agitate the hiring manager instead of impress.

7. Employment isn’t Everything
Many job seekers go weeks or even months without finding the right job. This leaves gaps in the work history section that often leaves recruiters fearful the job seeker isn’t reliable. Fortunately, stating your work history isn’t all there is to a resume.

Be sure to feature any volunteer work or projects you did during the gap. If you were a stay-at-home parent, mention that as well. Recruiters want to know what you were doing and how you were growing your skills while you weren’t working for a company.

8. Dress For What You Want
Most have heard the saying, “dress for the job you want, not the job you have.” Well, it really does hold some truth. When going into an interview, don’t dress just for your part, dress for the part of upper or senior management, or the position that you hope to obtain during your career at the company.

First impressions are everything, especially when you only have 30 minutes or so to talk with someone before they decide to hire you. Make it count!

9. Don’t Fake It
Employers do not want to see fake smiles or rehearsed answers when it comes time for the interview. They want to know who they hope to hire and you want to match the position and culture. Being misleading helps neither of you.

Saying what you think the employer wants to hear might get the job, but the job might be a total misfit for who you truly are and want to become. Being honest is the best way to show off your skills and land the job of your dreams.

# "Employers do not want to see fake smiles or rehearsed answers when it comes time for the interview."
10. Share Stories
While in the interview, it’s important to back up your skills and experience. Share stories and gives examples of situations that really made your skills stand out. Provide ways that your skills helped benefit your last company.

11. Leave the Hate at the Door
When you’re talking about previous experiences and situations, it’s important to remember that you should not talk down a past employer. Speaking badly about people you used to work for makes the interviewer question what you will have to say about them down the road.

This can create a bad impression on your character. Plus, this is an interview about moving forward. Any past discrepancies have no place there.

12. The Follow Up
Whether you’ve heard back about the job offer or not, it’s important to follow up a few days after the interview. Send a thank you letter or email stating how it was a pleasure to speak with them and that you really appreciate the opportunity. Reiterate any thoughts about why you want to work for them, and be sure to offer them any contact information, so they can easily reach you with any further questions.

This shows that you are just as invested as they are, and are sincerely interested in the position.

13. Network
Sometimes, job opportunities happen in the most unlikely of places. Be open to communicating and networking with others in your field. Whether at an industry event, over email, or even over social media platforms like LinkedIn. Allow yourself to connect with others and make your presence known.

14. Get References
Before applying to any job, create a list of references and reach out to those people to make sure they are comfortable with you listing them. Give them a heads up that you are applying to certain companies that may contact them. These should be people who know you through networking, past co-workers or anyone else can speak to your work experience and skills.

Also, make sure they are a good source of information. Choose people who are familiar with your work ethic and who can provide an unbiased, honest opinion.

15. Do it Again
So, you applied for a job and didn’t get it. A few weeks later, you notice that the position is still open. Feel free to try again! Take note of anything that may have gone wrong the first time and take another crack at it. This shows initiative and your ability to develop and grow.

16. Turn Negatives into Positives
We all have weaknesses, and employers want to know about them. Remember, a weakness can become a positive. For example, one of your weaknesses could be procrastination. However, despite that, you always make the deadlines and produce excellent work, while working well under pressure.

The same can go for many other instances. Whatever your downfalls may be, use them to your advantage and show that even though you make mistakes, you know how to turn it around and work hard to improve both yourself and your work.

17. Focus on Accomplishments
Acknowledging your accomplishments is just as important as anything else, and will help you stand out. You might not have 10 years of experience, but if you can prove that your team doubled its sales in one year, that can make a huge difference when you’re being considered for a position.

18. Stand Out From the Rest
This can mean many things. From showcasing a work portfolio, to sending in a presentation that acts as your cover letter. These unique moves will help employers and hiring managers remember you and your work. Do things that show you are unique, while also showcasing any particular skills they are looking for.

Bonus Interview Tips:
19. Be confident
This can range from answering questions with a straightforward response, to having a good handshake. In fact, 33% of hiring managers say they've eliminated candidates after an interview because of bad posture. It’s hard to imagine that something so small could have such an impact, but it can.

# The shocking results of having bad posture in a job interview: 


Employers want to know that you are confident in your skills and yourself. Without showing this, it can lead them to believe that you actually aren’t qualified.

20. Be Engaged
Hiring managers and employers want to know that you are listening and interested in what they have to say. This means you have to be engaged as well! Ask questions if something is unclear, nod to show you are listening and keep eye contact. 67% of hiring managers say they've eliminated candidates after an interview because they failed to make enough eye contact. Again, this shows confidence and a sense of leadership - something that companies value greatly.

Of course, one of the best ways to show you’re engaged is by being proactive. Browse the organization’s website, read reviews, scroll through social pages, learn their history and the mission and values they are built on. Bring notes from your research on the company to your interview. This information will give you ideas for questions to ask your interviewer and will show the hiring team you are confident and mean business. There’s nothing more impressive than someone who shows up prepared and ready to tackle any obstacles ahead.

Have you tried one or multiple of these tactics and seen results? We want to hear from you! @Worldjobtrends

Note

All applicants must upload a Cover Letter and an updated CV (no longer than four pages) in English
Applications sent by email will not be considered
Kindly note that DRC/DDG Nigeria reserves the right to recruit before the end of the posting period.

Ask anyone in your former office, and he or she would say you were a hard worker. No question. You did not only physically showed up for the job every day, but you were passionate about your work (some parts more than others), and you downloaded all the new tools and apps your company asked you to. But none of it seemed to matter the day you got called into HR and were slapped with a termination agreement package.

It burns, doesn’t it? All that hard effort, and where’s the payoff? Here’s a secret: It’s possible to work your butt off and still be seen as not worth keeping around in your company’s eyes. Here are some reasons you may have been let go, despite all that toil and sweat.

1. You Weren’t Working on the Right Things
Anyone can do long and late hours. I’ve known people who regularly put time in on weekends, who never take lunch. None of that means a thing if you weren’t focused on the things that mattered to your employer.

It sounds counterintuitive to say you need to tend to the issues at the top of your organization's agenda. Talk about stating the obvious. And yet, not everyone manages it. Most likely, you enjoy some parts of your job more than others. If you unknowingly or even unintentionally begin to neglect the tasks you aren’t crazy about, it’s going to be a problem.

If you’re not sure what this looks like, here’s an example: Joe was hired to conduct market research and help produce marketing materials. Joe loves and spends most of his time on the writing and graphic design part of his job, but he does very little with the actual market research project that’s of utmost importance to the higher-ups. The research is necessary for informing the company’s outreach efforts, and if it’s not being managed, then Joe’s designed materials are kind of pointless. And if Joe can’t validate why those materials are being produced, well, you can guess what happens.

Although it’s important to build on your natural interests and strengths, it’s imperative that you balance that with meeting your employer’s requirements, even if you don’t find them stimulating.

2. You Suffered From Stagnation
It’s an intense, complicated, and ever-changing world we live in. So if you fail to make an effort to keep pace, you risk becoming irrelevant. Be aware of—if not heavily invested in—current trends in your industry, new technology, and even internal changes within your organization.

Sometimes, though, even that won't suffice. It may not be enough to have a thirst for learning more if you find that you’re not retaining information quickly enough, or getting a grasp of recently implemented tools and systems in a reasonable amount of time. An acquaintance of mine recently fired a pleasant and hard-working intern because he kept making the exact same mistake. By the third time, his good attitude and hard work weren't enough to make him a valuable team player.

Staying current is challenging but necessary. Take a class if you need to, work with a career coach, and don’t underestimate the importance of asking questions.

3. You Didn’t Get Along With Your Co-workers
Your ability to produce results is obviously critical to your viability with an organization, but it’s certainly not the only thing that matters. The CEO of an organization I worked for right out of college once said, “Anyone can be replaced, even me.” She’s not wrong. Unless you possess a highly unique skill set, there are others who can do your job. They may not have your charisma or emotional intelligence, but they can do the work. This becomes an issue if you come across as cocky or abrasive rather than charming and thoughtful.

If you’re part of an industry that’s dependent on your ability to build rapport and communicate effectively with colleagues, then you’d better get along with your co-workers.

You don’t go to the office to make friends; you go to work to do your job, but that doesn’t mean you can’t treat everyone well. Building and maintaining professional relationships is a part of your 9-to-5, and in order to be successful, you’ve got to figure out how to work cordially with others and show respect for their ideas.

4. You Worked Past the Point of Productivity
In season three of Inside Amy Schumer, the episode titled “Cool With It” features Amy working herself into a coma to support her rapper boyfriend. Of course, the guy decides to check out of the relationship when he makes it big as a result of Amy’s efforts, while Amy is left in the cold, unrecognized and devalued.

While working diligently and producing solid results should ideally be recognized and rewarded by your boss and company, it’s not always the case. And, believe it or not, there is a fine line between hard work and obsessive work—the latter doesn’t usually help you get ahead. In fact, over-working could lead to careless mistakes, sloppy results, or just plain, old burnout.

Taking time away from the office—either during the workday (coffee break, walk around the block), or on weekends, or going on a vacation—is really important for your well-being.

Ever hear of cognitive exhaustion? It taxes your mental and physical strength and could eventually lead to decreased productivity no matter how many hours you’re glued to your computer. Could this be the reason your services were no longer needed?

If you recognize yourself in any of the above situations, that’s great—that’s clarity! Coming to terms about why you got let go means you can think about what you want to do differently in your next position. Learning Keynote or Photoshop is a class away. Talking to a mentor or coach about how to stay focused on tedious tasks is something you can do as early as tomorrow.

Addressing an inability to maintain healthy work relationships may require a larger investment, but it’s one worth making. As the most significant factor in your career, you are worth all the time, money, and energy required to be your best self.

But also keep in mind that, sometimes, being cut loose has nothing to do with what you were working on, how well you played with others, your comfort with current trends, or the quality of work you produced. It may be a simple matter of a company’s bottom line. It’s unfair and unfortunate, but it happens. If a company has decided that your role isn’t worth investing in, no amount of goal-exceeding is going to keep you on staff.
