SEARCHING FOR A JOB IN HUNGARY

Image
  Hungary is a European country that hired me. The selection process is usually fast, of approximately two weeks. I advise to check the website of the company with which you are interviewing, a YouTube presentation, the job description and to prepare a list of 5-8 questions, to show your interest in the company and the role. You can check the LinkedIn profiles of the interviewers, to have an idea on their expertise. An important step for your preparation is checking salary reports, available online for free. You can download them on your computer and read them. You need to check the industry for which you are applying and the number of years of experience.

I have just completed the chapter of the compilation book IGNITE YOUR COURAGE. As the space dedicated to the story is limited and I omitted useful stuff, I decided to create a few blog posts which will help you in your job search journey. I am a candidate who sent roughly 50000 applications throughout my career. One of the best tools for finding a job is LinkedIn. It can easily be accessed here: https://www.linkedin.com/ I firstly heard about LinkedIn in a workshop from a job fair in the Netherlands.

You can copy-paste your CV if you want. Please make sure that the first three bullet points under each role should list the most important tasks or achievements. You...
