According to publications by Eduardo Felix, a human resources specialist, before clicking on “send application”, some measures and precautions must be taken. Updating data is undoubtedly the main one. Is your resume up to date? Does he have the right information?

Below you can find some tips from the specialist, which uses the job opportunities website “vagas.com” as an example, but which can be used on any other platform.

Do you register on the Vagas.com website and have never been called for interviews or rarely?

Here are some things you might be missing:

1 – Update When did you last? Tip: Type a period. Update. Erase. Update. Ready! When? Once a day is enough.

2 – It's no use updating if you don't have the necessary keywords for the vacancy you're looking for.

3 – Where to find these words? Type Career Vacancies on Google Map. Type your position in the way that is most repeated in searches. Example: Receptionist.

4 – Show in your experiences what is relevant to the vacancy. As? View your application history. Open a document in Word. Copy the last 50 vacancies. See the patterns of sentence repetitions: you will use them in your job description.

5 – Agreement between your professional experience and the vacancies you are applying for. Manager for 10 years wanting to be an analyst? Assistant for 1 year wanting to be a supervisor? These are classic examples, but there are others. Think: resume is not a pamphlet!

6 – No F5 all day. Time to start and end the search in Vacancies. Once a day is enough.

7 – Phone or e-mail typed wrongly? Did they change? Attention!

8 – Expected salary: Glassdoor website. Learn to distribute by ranges: from 1k to 2k.

Golden job interview tips

1 – Learn to read the job description. Suggestion: cut the verbs that introduce a function and go straight to the point: Ex: plan, execute and monitor (cut!) the activities to train people in product knowledge. Do you already know what you are going to do? Training.

2 – Learn to make inferences. Many questions come out of the job description itself. In the example above, they can ask in different ways situations in which you have trained people = training.

3 – Were you taught to use the STAR or CAR methodology and you don't know how to use it? Now you know: your examples should be based on the job description – always!

4 – Imagine that you run for the position of Amélia Sr. and who knows how to wash, iron and cook, but the vacancy only asks that the candidate know how to wash and iron. If the interviewer doesn't ask and the description doesn't say anything about cooking, then whether I cook doesn't matter.

5 – What if the vacancy has a very technical description? The interview will probably go the same way.

6 – Also know how to infer strengths and weaknesses that you will take to the interview. In the example, what is the main strength for those who provide training? Communication – it's not just talking, okay?

7 – Make spreadsheets of your applications.

Good Luck!
