Career Advisory postgraduate studies – after the eighth weekend
“I have contacted 40 companies directly. 5 replied, and I spoke with 2 on the phone and on Skype. After 7 days, I sent a follow-up email to the ones that hadn’t responded. After another 3 days, I sent them invites on LinkedIn. Additionally, I have contacted 1 alternative decision maker. The result: silence”. Career Consultants are often approached by frustrated candidates who are unaware of what they are doing wrong and why their search is unsuccessful. On top of that, the candidates find their years of experience and age to be the reasons for their failures. The key to success lies in the strategy and the active use of modern job search channels: networking, contacting headhunters, and direct application. This was the topic of the eighth weekend.
