Marketing yourself

In the last few steps we thought about our interests and objectives and we investigated the current market situation. Now we need to work with the job search tools and "sell the product" - which is none other than ourselves - by describing our professional career.

Generally, the most important tools for this sale are our CV and the covering letter. It is important to bear in mind that both of the above constitute our visiting card in the eyes of a company. Thus, we should transmit our intentions very clearly when sending them out: in other words our desire to be invited for an interview. Therefore, they should be a true reflection of our experience, interests and professional objectives.

In this section you will find useful information that will help you develop these tools in a personal and efficient manner. It will provide you with advice on how to create them, information on what they should and should not contain, cultural differences, graphic examples...etc.

However, despite the fact that these are the most common tools, we should not forget that we ourselves are our own best visiting card and our network is the main means of finding the opportunity we are searching for. Here you will also find information on how to use this network.
