I would like to share some hints with you if you happen to be searching for a job:

• 1.) Always tailor your CV for each position you apply for. It might be time consuming, but otherwise you won’t draw the reviewer’s attention to your suitability. Write a long CV ‘template’ where everything is included, then cut ‘n’ paste a shorter, job-specific version every time you apply.
• 2.) Always attach a job specific Cover Letter to your application
• 3.) Upload a new CV weekly on job-boards (for example Monster, Top-Consultant), because it will stay near the top of the page, and so recruiters can find it more easily when searching the database
• 4.) Give your CV to friends who are working for an organization where you’d like to work also
• 5.) Start networking – talk about your job-search to as many people as you can.
• 6.) Update your profile on LinkedIn – it’s like your publicly available online CV – and spend time regularly revising it
• 7.) Check out the career sites of companies you are interested in
• 8.) Read industry specific publications relevant to your career; learn more about the companies you’d would like to work for, or seek job advertisements
• 9.) Be different! Find something which makes you special and showcases your skills set. Gain additional skills and experience. Develop yourself personally and professionally. (You might consider joining organizations such as AIESEC or JCI)
• 10.) Why would a company hire you? Work out five reasons and keep them in mind. This question will be definitely asked of you, and you must have a compelling answer.

We will share more advices later on, check out our blog regularly for future posts.
