"The main requirement of the employer is to get things done." The recruiter gave five important tips to candidates for a fruitful job search in IT

The founder of the recruitment agency vpteam.io, Victoria Prydatko, gave some important advice to IT professionals for a productive job search.

If you have had several different roles in your experience, write a separate resume for each of them, emphasizing the relevant experience for this vacancy. When you indicate in one resume that you are applying for QA, Project Manager, COO at the same time, the employer understands that you are desperate and do not understand what you want. » I understand that all of these roles could have been in your experience, but this means that you need to write a resume for each of them separately, emphasizing exactly what meets the requirements of the vacancy,» she emphasizes in a blog on DOU.
The requirements for candidates have increased several times. The main requirement of the employer is Get things done. «If you are a manager, you are expected to see that even if the team has not completed the task, you will still bring it to a result, and not just delegate. If you are a line employee, you are expected to clearly perform the work in accordance with the agreements and bring everything to a result, and not refuse in the style of «oh, it didn’t work out»,» advises Victoria.
Product thinking is a must. This means that you are interested in developing the product and offer options for its improvement and monetization. » In general, you are hired to solve business problems. Depending on the role, you choose the tools with which you will solve them, but any technology is not a goal, but only a means. The goal is business profit,» notes Prydatko.
Every time you apply for a job, she adds, you need to think about how your knowledge and skills can help the business develop and monetize. «This kind of business thinking is most appreciated and will help you get a better offer. And even if you are a super-demanded specialist, business thinking is still a must, you just have more options in strong companies,» the recruiter states.
If your job is limited to repetitive, automated tasks, you are likely to be replaced, so evolve in a direction where AI becomes your assistant, not your competitor. Study the tools in your field.

"In 2025, 2021 will be only for AI specialists." Who are employers hunting for today, and which IT professions are no longer interesting to them - the conclusions of an experienced recruiter
