Description

‘The fastest way to the job interview’ is a step-by-step booklet that helps you to understand what it takes to land a job interview which ultimately will give you a job.

Preface

With this book we want to make it easier for you and help you find a new job as quickly as possible.

Being a jobseeker can be very stressful, because there are so many things you need to do. Most people approach the task in a fairly disorganised manner and just muddle through.

‘The fastest way to the job interview’ structures the process from start to finish, so that you approach job-hunting one step at a time.

The process is built up in such a way that once you have completed all of the steps, you’ll have the skills to write a professional CV and job application.

At each step, you will acquire the knowledge and tools you need to find a job.

The idea is to help you get off to a good start and the 4 steps to do so are:

1. Step 1: The job market and job-hunting channels
2. Step 2: Writing your CV
3. Step 3: Vacancies
4. Step 4: Writing your application

Each step consists of an explanatory text that provides in-depth information and guidance on how to approach the task at hand.

Once you have studied the text, you’ll be all set to carry out each task in practice.
