4 nuances of the job search that are often forgotten

You've prepared a good resume, checked it for errors, and select jobs you are interested in - everything is ready for the new job search. But you are likely to have forgotten something. JOBITT offers jobs for all tastes, tons of jobs, and quick signup, so if you're looking for a way to make money, it's worth giving it a try.

There are several nuances that job seekers often forget. Some people simply do not consider them important and safely ignore them, but these nuances do not make them any less important. Let's consider them in detail.

E-mail address

Some people even find this funny: "What difference does it make what my email address is? The main thing is that I can be contacted. But employers do pay attention to it. Get a professional and concise address. Work.ua recommends using your first and last name. If at any of the postal services your name and surname, and options for combining them are busy - use another service, there are a lot of them nowadays. You may need to dictate your address by phone, so it should be easy enough to hear. If you have a long and complicated name, use abbreviations.

Phone Etiquette

Check if you have any popular songs playing instead of your ringtone. If you like it when the caller hears your favorite song, that's up to you, but not while you're looking for work. Don't push your luck in the hope that your musical tastes and your employer are the same. First impressions are very important. And, of course, no ringtones during the interview. You won't be answering the phone at a time like this anyway, so turn off the sound.

Online presence.

If you think that an employer will never look for you on the Internet, you are very mistaken. Your personal photos, funny pictures, and rude comments will easily end up in his hands. Watch your social media privacy settings and don't post any compromising pictures. And even better if you show yourself as a true professional: posting interesting news, writing notes that relate to your field of work, and discussing them intelligently. Remember that the Internet can tell a lot about you, and it's not as private as you think.

The Right Recommendations

If you don't have recommendations from your previous jobs you shouldn't give fictitious phone numbers and contacts of your friends who can say that you are a great specialist. It won't be hard to figure you out. Just the phone numbers of the companies where you worked, too, should be specified carefully. There might have been personnel changes long ago, and they might have forgotten about you or not know you at all. So before you specify the contacts of former places of work, you should independently verify that the caller will be able to get the necessary information. But it is better, of course, to think about recommendations in advance - do not hesitate to ask for written recommendations from your supervisors before your paths finally diverge.
