Introduction

Various life circumstances can prompt a person to search for a job. Graduates of educational institutions are looking for work in order to continue successful socialization; qualified specialists who have reached their career or professional "ceiling" within the same organization can look for work.

The reason for finding a job may also be that the type of activity that a person has been engaged in so far has lost its relevance and is not in demand in the labor market. In the latter case, it is usually not only about changing jobs, but also about changing professions. The search for a new job can also be motivated by dissatisfaction with the position held, the need for personal growth and self-expression, which is not realized in the existing place of work.

1. The stages of the job search

In our lives, we make a number of important, sometimes fateful decisions. The choice of a place of work is one of them, because the social status, material well-being, well-being and self-perception of a person depend on what organization, position, and environment they work in. It is with the search for a decent job that a business career begins or successfully continues. The famous aphorism "who is looking, he will always find!" it is the best approach to finding a job in the modern labor market. Various life circumstances can prompt a person to search for a job. Graduates of educational institutions are looking for work in order to continue successful socialization; qualified specialists who have reached their career or professional "ceiling" within the same organization can look for work. The search for a new job can also be motivated by dissatisfaction with the position held, the need for personal growth and self-expression, which is not realized in the existing place of work. There are two main phases in the actions required to successfully find a new job. First, the so-called passive phase involves the collection and analysis of information on employment opportunities, compiling a resume, preparing letters of recommendation. At the same time, it is recommended to monitor and analyze information about the situation on the job market constantly, and not only when there is a need to find or change jobs. The second phase involves active activity of the applicant.

The following main stages of active employment activities can be distinguished:

1. establishing contact with the employer (in writing, by phone, by e - mail, Fax, in some cases-by personal appeal). The goal is to get an invitation to an interview.

2. preparation for the interview (preparation of the necessary documentation, "playing" the interview situation, trial passing the intended tests, drawing up a list of questions, collecting information about the company and potential employer, etc.). the Goal is to make the most favorable impression on the employer.

3. passing an interview (interview with the employer, effective self-presentation, passing tests and questionnaires). The goal is to get an invitation to a vacant position.

4. decision-Making (analysis of the offered vacancies, selection of the optimal one). The goal is to make a choice that best meets the needs and capabilities of the applicant.

5. Feedback from the managers of other firms that received an offer of services from the applicant (notification that the applicant does not currently need a job, written or oral expression of gratitude for the fact that his candidacy was considered). The goal is to keep contacts in case of a new request or further partnership. It should be taken into account that the specifics of actions at each stage depends on the method of job search chosen by the applicant.
