You are born, you grow, you go to school, you graduate, believing that the world will be yours. So far so good, but what happens when you want to enter the labor market and you find vacancies that for some reason escape you again and again?

We interviewed the recruitment expert Ivonne Vargas at the end of the conference she gave last week at Expo Woman Work and shared five tips to conquer the job you want:

I like to apply the concept of falling in love and sentimental conquest to the world of work. We all love to feel sexy: when we have a first date we arrange ourselves in such a way that we can please that new person, we take care of every detail to make the meeting something memorable that makes it clear why fall in love with us.

For the author of the book Hire Me, the curriculum is that first appointment with the employer. It does not matter if you are a recent graduate or a professional who already has several years of experience.

It is common to find curricula with misspellings, ambiguous job descriptions, photos that are not favorable or so long that they disqualify immediately. Did you know that recruiters spend between 30 and 50 seconds reviewing the curriculum they receive? This is so, according to Vargas, because for each vacancy there are up to 200 or 300 applicants, so the first filter depends on that document selling you well, as a candidate worth "falling in love" with.

To achieve this, follow these tips:

• Attract with a short CV and take care of the design. Ideally, it should have a single page, zero misspellings, concise writing and a color photo with a formal look.

• Show your experience with the formula where + what you learned = challenge overcome. You have little space, use it in the best way possible; lists the company, position and an objective achievement.

• Highlight additional skills, such as languages ​​and certifications.

• Link your experience with what the position needs, that is, do not make a single CV with which you want to apply equally to all vacancies. Give it a touch each time, according to the company's turn.

• If you still have no experience, highlight your extra curricular skills and personal competencies. For example, proactivity, responsibility or adaptability.
