Tips to Pro-Actively Search for the Right Company

 

Naomi Aharony, CEO and Co-Founder of Reboot, shares advice on how to pro-actively search for the right company:

“Note down specific qualities you are looking for in a company and your considered role. This enables you to ask the right questions through each step of the process - from research and application to the interview process. This can also help you to identify what you can add to the role and why they should hire you; target companies that match your values and support your key career goals.

 

Consider connecting with employees from the organisation you intend to apply for. It may be daunting at first, but it could allow you to learn about the work culture, the team, plus the latest company news and updates.”
