Application from candidate experience: 3 job search tips from personal experience

New media need new applications? This rumor persists, especially in the creative sector. And it's not true. Much more it depends on individual Competencies at. 3 tips on how to pack them well:

I learned one thing in my applications: a lot Companys are not designed for super creative and unusual applications. There are examples where creativity wins - but at the core are always reputation and individual skills. Here's how to stage them well:

1. Be current!

Social media is now - and you should know what the discussions of the subject groups are currently turning. In addition - and perhaps even more important than that - you should be able to present current content:

The last post on your own social media profile dates from six months ago? Change - before the Application is set on the way. The last blog post in a relevant medium can not be found on the homepage? Then quickly get to the keys and start writing.

No matter how new social media is - many companies are still very traditional. The application portals, however, often only like pdf and doc documents anyway. That is why it is not uncommon for the content to count more than the look - and for exciting projects with good content, successful formulations and clear statements Motivation often hit better than attempted creativity.
