Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Does your CV land interviews? – with real examples”.

Let’s face it: your current CV is the product of updating a file that you started 10-20 years ago. While the format you used as an ambitious junior was great, it most probably doesn’t reflect your USP, your personal brand or executive presence.

And even if you decided to upgrade your resume by using a template, chances are, that you chose one that looks nice, but isn’t really user-friendly – neither for humans nor for ATS. Read more →

About the initiative: we – Career Angels – have been providing a safe space for experienced managers and executives in this successful formula since April 2018. Due to CV-19, we adapted the format for the experience to be as effective and productive online, as it has been proven to be offline.

The underlying idea is to create a community for managers throughout Europe who have accepted the challenge of looking for a job (actively or passively), so that they can exchange their experiences, support each other through listening, words of encouragement, information and inspire each other.

The free online meetings are dedicated to specific career & job search topics and provide networking opportunities. Coming up:

Wytyczne aktywności na LinkedIn: 4 kroki

Według Hootsuite, Demand Sage, i LinkedIn, platforma posiada 875 milionów użytkowników na całym świecie, z czego ponad 310 milionów to aktywni miesięcznie użytkownicy. 80% użytkowników LinkedIn „kieruje decyzjami biznesowymi”.

To tylko fragment danych, który pokazuje, jak potężnym narzędziem stał się LinkedIn.

Mimo to wciąż wielu profesjonalistów (w tym managerów i executives) potrzebuje pomocy nie tylko w stworzeniu profilu na LinkedIn, ale również w zarządzaniu aktywnością.

Automated recruitment processes, pre-recorded interviews, ATS, Artificial Intelligence, bots… expressions we hear more and more often. How does the constant development of technology affect the recruitment processes – in particular: how do ATS work and how can you adapt your CV to them? [Spoiler: 75% of CVs uploaded to an ATS are never seen by a human recruiter!]

But first things first: what is an ATS?
ATS stands for Applicant (= candidates) Tracking System (= master database).

In other words, it’s a system that allows tracking candidates, to filter and categorize them. Some ATS (especially those operating in English) have an additional function: they match a candidate’s CV against the job ad they applied to. In other words: it searches / scans the CV for keywords used in the job ad or additionally added in the background.
