«I recently received a message from a recruiter: ‘I’m looking for candidates on LinkedIn and I often come across your students’ profiles marked Open to work, but most don’t add them to my contacts, or they do it a few weeks later when the vacancy is no longer relevant.’ There are a lot of candidates on the IT job market and hiring for Junior-level positions happens quickly. Now imagine how many candidates don’t get the desired offers precisely because of such minor communication errors,» she wrote .

Ruslana gave some tips that will help you get to the interview stage faster.
«Creating a high-quality resume is, of course, important, but it is not enough. Fast and effective communication will help you pass the next stages of the selection process and get closer to the desired offer,» the specialist summarized.
