Job search in CV-19 times – and how to succeed

Job search in CV-19 times – and how to succeed

This is just one of many emails we have received in the past months. As it’s a very good example, we’d like to share with you our response to it.

“Dear Career Angels,

My job search is going very slow, the market is very poor. I had some interviews, but never got a final offer.

I was hoping to get an interview for a senior-level position, but unfortunately the company didn’t want me, as I don’t have any experience in their industry.

I followed your suggestions, re-made my CV and also tried to sell myself differently for the senior-level position, but it seems that I haven’t tried enough.

Do you have any advice?”.

Full Week 18 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Germany and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Full Week 18 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Germany and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Market Signals – where do they come from?

We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

Career Angels analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better candidate management & more effective job search methods.

These are not usual times, so we decided to share our market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.

Career Consultant Diary: I don't use any private email address by Sandra Bichl

Career Consultant Diary: I don’t use any private email address

Being a Career Consultant for Executives is often misunderstood or romanticized or both. Sandra Bichl, founder of Career Angels and experienced international Career Consultant, decided to bring more transparency to her/our profession by sharing random days of her work in the form of a “diary” – the delay (sometimes of a year) ensures confidentiality. This time, Sandra sheds light on a Career Angels’ initiative that helps provide a safe space for experienced managers and executives: Challenge Accepted Europe.
