If I had to look for a job in 2024, this is what I'd do

Looking for a job can be a tedious task. We know it. A big part of our job is ensuring candidates like you have a positive candidate experience. However, there's something you can do that will boost your chances of landing the job you're after in less time.

It's not a big secret. Or, at least, what we're about to say is no secret for those who have followed Adria Solutions' social media posts for a while. Tailoring your job search as much as possible is the best formula for job search success.

How to Tailor Your Job Search

You have probably heard thousands of times about the importance of a tailored CV, cover letter and job application. While customising your CV to the role you're applying for is vital, there are many other aspects you can approach case by case.

Let's look at some practical examples and helpful resources:

→ You are looking for an entry role. You have little or no experience, but you must land your first role precisely to gain some good experience. You need to start somewhere, right? Here are some creative and practical ways to get your first role .

→ You're moving industries. Then, you must prove that your transversal skills are ideal for the job you're applying for, even if you don't have loads of experience in that particular industry. Here's a fantastic guide for making a career switch to tech from other industries.

→ Let's say the main reason why you're looking for a new role is because you're underpaid. We know talking about money makes many candidates anxious. If that's your case, take a look at our salary benchmarking guide for candidates before you start applying for roles and speaking to recruiters.

→ It's not just the money for you? Maybe you want more hybrid and flexible working or an extended holiday allowance. If you're looking for a role with good benefits and perks , you should mention it to your recruitment consultant. We love it when our candidates take the initiative and want to discuss them because it shows that you're interested and allows us to discuss company culture and values.

→ Many candidates are concerned that they might be branded as job hoppers if they start looking for a new role after only three months in their current role. Remember that you must prepare to answer questions about this topic confidently.

→ If you're not the most consistent job seeker, this 30-day job search plan will help you gain consistency and reach your goals faster. You can, of course, tailor the plan to your timeline and work with a trusted recruitment consultancy to shorten job search times, too.

We have covered a few examples, but we have left the best tip for the end: Find an experienced recruitment consultant you can rely on and be open and honest about the role you're looking for and what is important for you. That won't guarantee you a job, but it will certainly get you closer to finding your perfect match!
