Applying for job? Best way?

[blackeagle007]

So in these days it’s usually online to like for o, speedway whichever. They can go through indeed or other apps. What works best in response? Maybe applying to H. R? How did you get hired?

At least when I did hiring paper apps were easier to review most days I didn't have time to look on the online sights to review stuff

Apps like indeed? Cause I went to the site itself

Entry

I haven't worked at those specific companies but similar ones before. You could try popping in to a local business under the franchise and ask if they have any positions available. Maybe show them your CV. Do you know anyone who works at any of those places? Usually they'd tell you to just apply online which is not helpful but sometimes you can get a referral off of someone who's already there and that would boost your chances.

Job agencies can be hit or miss but if you can afford it, I'd ring them up and see if they can lend a hand. Have you asked with family and friends? Could they be any help?

Beyond all that, it's really a numbers game. Applying to as much shit as possible and hoping at least some of them will take a chance on you. At your age, you would have some prior work experience I assume? If you do, leverage that as much as possible - reach out to old colleagues, apply to adjacent companies for similar or slightly better roles, see where you get.

Make sure your CV is one page if you can do that, have a look at job descriptions online and use a resume builder to customising your cv for each job.

If there's like a career advisor or someone like that near you, I'd go and get suggestions as to what you can do to be more hireable. They should review your CV too.

Applying online is indeed common these days. Tailor your résumé and cover letter to each job, highlighting relevant skills and experiences. Utilize job portals like Indeed, and LinkedIn, and company websites. Networking is also vital; connect with industry professionals who can refer you. When I was hired, networking and a strong résumé played key roles. Directly contacting HR with a personalized email can sometimes make a difference. Remember, persistence and adapting your applications based on job descriptions enhance your chances of success.
