JOB SEARCHING:

When looking for a job, one must be open to all options. Job searching in Israel is quite unique. As it is known to be the start up nation, it is a central place for growth and learning. In Israel, interviewers look for candidates who are flexible, creative and hardworking. You might be asked to have an interview in a coffee shop and will feel as if you are chatting with a close friend. The relationship with your coworkers is very casual which enables you to work in a close knit environment. In order to look for a job, you must research and take into account what jobs are currently trending. For example, since the 21st century, social media is booming. However, government related positions are more limited and require more specific research into a smaller pool of companies.

HOW TO GO ABOUT IT:

If you are looking to work in a field that is limited, you need to connect yourself with the right people and resources. In order to connect yourself to the right people and places, you have to make sure your CV and LinkedIn profile are up to date. Social Media is a primary guiding tool for finding the right job and LinkedIn will become your new BFF! Be open to adding yourself to groups that are of interest to your job search and feel free to add people on Facebook that can potentially guide you into the right professional path. Connections are everything!
