Mexico City, September 17, 2018. – The processes of recruitment and selection of personnel currently represent a great challenge for those professionals who are in search of the employment of their dreams. When a vacancy is published in any job vacancy, hundreds of candidates from all professional branches present their CVs waiting for a call for an interview and recruiters have to choose from hundreds of profiles to a dozen candidates to present the most adequate.

This situation hinders and makes the recruitment processes long and complicated simply by the amount of professionals to filter for a vacancy. Although the statistics indicate that there are more than 800 thousand people with higher and middle level studies who are currently searching for new job opportunities, and that there are more than 60 thousand 700 vacancies in the creative, technological and digital sector in our country, professionals take a long time to find a job or get a job opportunity that helps them grow.

Trabajo en Digital, the online job board platform for the creative, technological and digital sector based on the calculation of the percentage of work compatibility, presents professionals with five useful tips to apply to the most compatible vacancies with their profile and overcome the filters that mean the current recruitment processes.

1. Create a clean and focused curriculum
One of the main mistakes that professionals make when preparing their curriculum is to place at the beginning the academic experience with great detail and include in it each diploma that has acquired from basic education until the time of applying, and leave the work experience until the end.

An attractive curriculum should be able to briefly show, in a single page, both the skills, aptitudes, last grade or academic degree, and the summary work experience where in each position the achievements as well as the activities and responsibilities of each position are described.

In this way, the recruiter can quickly see if the candidate has the necessary profile for the vacancy and will save time in the curriculum review process. In addition to synthesizing the curriculum in one page, it is important to customize it according to the vacancy and let the recruiter know what the candidate’s professional objectives are. This will help facilitate the process and pass the filters more effectively.

2. Be selective in your applications
Another common mistake of job search professionals is to apply to all vacancies related to their career despite the fact that the position is far from meeting their aspirations.

The first step to find the ideal job is to avoid applying for an emergency to change jobs or for lack of employment and the consequent economic urgency that this situation brings. It is essential that the professional thoroughly review each vacancy and make sure to cover the requirements of experience, studies, skills and other factors before applying. To apply only for having a related career or because the salary range is within the economic pretensions of the applicant, can be a big mistake.

3. Learn and study before arriving at the interview
When you get an interview, it is essential that you know what the business line is, the business objective or the vision of the company or organization that offers the vacancy. If the interview is with a recruitment agency and you do not know the name of the company or organization that contracts, it is important that you are up to date on the latest developments and trends in the corresponding market or sector.

This will allow you to have more updated answers during the interview and greater security in yourself, in addition to letting the recruiter see that in addition to the experience and skills necessary for the position, you are up to date and current.

4. Call the recruiter after the interview
After attending the interview, stay in touch with the recruiter to find out how the process is going. This way you will know if they have already hired someone else to save their efforts and concentrate on other vacancies, or get a second or third interview.

Another advantage of doing this monitoring is that your profile will be in the database of the company and there are more possibilities to take you into account later. Just have moderation and call or mail the recruiter two or three days after your interview, and then until the next week. Calling a diary can make the recruiter think you have a lot of urgency to get any job and this can eliminate you from your list of preferred candidates.

5. Follow up on your processes and keep your CV updated
Regardless of whether or not you have been hired in one of your most desired vacancies, it is important that you keep your resume updated and that you keep in touch with the recruiters with whom you had interviews so that they take you into account in future selection processes that may be related. with you.

Try to update it in periods of three to six months and send it at least twice a year to companies or organizations that are more related to your professional goals.
