What you should know about job classified ads |
Posted: February 26, 2020 |
Classified ads are, perhaps, the first place to look for a job. However, many people consider it as an outdated and full of bad jobs that nobody wants. Is everything bad that is said about them true? Or, on the contrary, can they provide the opportunity to find a good job? To answer these questions, it is first necessary to point out that only 15% of employment opportunities appear in classified ads and of that percentage, the vast majority are placed at the initial, part-time or commission level. Some ads even offer jobs that, in reality, attempt to attract unemployed (and perhaps desperate) people to different types of scams. In addition, as the classified job advertisement published in a newspaper can be read and answered by hundreds of people, the chances of obtaining an interview are slim. However, despite all the negative that it may seem, classifieds can be a good source of employment if you know how to analyze them and read them properly. Steps to properly analyze and read classified ads It is advised to buy the newspaper daily for two weeks. In that period of time, it is necessary to review all classified ads that correspond to the job sought. However, care must be taken with those advertisements where only the postal section appears and not the name of the company (called blind advertisements). Although it could be an indication of a perfectly legitimate employment opportunity, it could also be:
On the other hand, it is advisable to look at the displays that are large ads (they can be up to a flat, but, usually, they are a quarter of a flat or less) that companies place, with their name, to indicate that they have vacancies These ads provide more details about the jobs offered on yeebia, the requirements sought in the candidate, etc., than the normal classifieds. If you see the deployment of a job that corresponds to the position you are looking for, it is appropriate to follow up. The deployed are not economical and if a certain company is investing in them to advertise their vacancies, it is that they are taking recruitment seriously; hence the convenience of immediately sending the curriculum. Attention should also be paid to ads that disappear and reappear after a week or more. This may mean that the employer did not hold the position during the initial publication or that the person hired did not work. In any case, it is an employer that may well be willing to agree on requirements, salary and other aspects. Likewise, you must be aware of small changes in the writing of an advertisement. They can give an idea of ??what the employer has seen that is needed in the resumes received. The best way to keep track of the ads is to keep the classified section every day (or each copy). That way, you can see which ads have reappeared, when a specific one was first published, etc.
