with you a winning formula
for how to apply for a job online and

with top-level companies like amazon
hey what's up emilia here from emmy
powered bringing you today the best tips
and tools for
leveling up your career and how to apply
for a job online
and get the interview comment down below
yes
with capital letters if you're freaking
tired
and frustrated with the all online
recruitment process
i was too it was like i was putting
all this effort and time
for not getting anything rather than
[Music]
and i was freaking frustrating it was
like all this time and after i put into
this recruitment process it went through
the bin but then i found out there is
actually a couple of things that you can
do
to make your application further noticed
first one of course
have that top-notch cv that will get
recruiters attention if you don't have
it
built yet make sure you don't miss my
video top writing cv tips for getting
receiving
notice up there number one is your
online presence make sure it's not
damaging your chances to get
your dream career let's get started with
story time and this one comes from
reddit so there is this guy it was
applying for job
after job and hearing nothing but
silence from
companies for months until someone
responded
and here is what they said dear x thank
you for applying for
why upon reading your application i was
struck
by just how easily you transition into
this job
i can't foresee your sliding into the
job with more ease than
into a well-prepared anus what
please consider changing your display
picture before reapplying
kind regards and there is this picture
so if that doesn't teach us a lesson i
don't know what will
the key message here is that it goes way
beyond your
email picture it goes to your social
media and even your more professional
platforms
if it is not private everyone will be
able to see it
so make sure that your online presence
is positive and professional
because companies they'll be judging
what they can see
and if that is a fit into the company
values
then number two is create an impressive
and remarkable cover
letter don't make people's news they'll
make it all about yourself
and don't put out there everything that
can be found on your cv
the way of making it impressive and
remarkable
is by telling the reader how much you
know about our company
how much you know their products their
services how much you feel connected to
the brand
and also tell them about your
personality about your values
how much of a great fit you are for
their corporate culture
and of course tell them how you are the
perfect candidate for their role
because in the past you have applied
skill x y and z
they are so fundamental for this
position so that's how
you create an impressive and remarkable
cover
letter so the next one i know it will
sound very stupid but it is
fill out every field of your online form
a lot of companies nowadays after system
automated
meaning it's a robot or ai looking into
that information
rather than a human there is actually a
lot of situations where
applications get excluded because some
of the fields were blank
and for you to not get into that risk my
recommendation is
fill out every field even if you don't
have the information to say
not applicable or i don't have that
information and in that way
you don't have the risk of getting
excluded because you didn't fill out
every field of your online form so the
last one is actually two
that is get in touch with people that
work with the company you're applying to
and also ask for internal referrals
if you already know someone that is
working for the company you want to work
for
let's say it's amazon reach out to them
and say
hey i see you're working here for x
period of time
i love working with amazon for this
reason
and here it's when you shine with all
the highlights from your brilliant cover
letter
and let them know why you want this job
and why you're great fit
and then ask them hey would you mind
putting the word for me with an internal
referral
and i'll let you know at the end why
internal referrals are a win-win
situation
for both you and the person that is
referring you if you don't know
anyone linkedin is such a great platform
to explore
if you have second-degree connections
this is if you know someone that knows
someone that works at a company you want
to work with
or even find people that work for the
company just ask them directly
i would love to connect with you i see
you're working for amazon for x period
of time
could we connect and then when they
accept your connection requests you drop
them a note with all the highlights from
your brilliant cover letter
and you explain to them hey i saw you
working at this company could you give
me some advice
how can i make my application stand out
and even get hired
and once you have developed a
conversation and a connection with that
person
just tell them hey i'm aware there is an
internal referral system would you mind
putting a word in for me because i'm so
certain
i'm a 100 feet for your corporate
culture
and also for this role and then you
bring again highlights from your
brilliant cover letter
and you let them know why you should
work with that company
so now you might ask me why should
simone refer me
a lot of companies have this internal
referral system
this means that they'll reward employees
that
bring the right talent to the company
someone that is the right fit not only
for the corporate culture but
also for that role so as you see it's a
win-win situation
for you and for the person referring you
