Currently, the highest number of job vacancies is offered in Germany, France, Belgium, the UK and Sweden. A list of occupations and their descriptions are provided online. One or several occupations can be chosen. A list of language skills is also provided, and job seekers have to give a self-assessment from basic to fluent. A search facility will look for job vacancies offered by companies. Companies have uploaded their profiles and requirements for candidates: responsibilities, and core qualifications (education, skills and knowledge). The employers’ contact information and a link for application are also provided.
A vast selection of online job vacancies can be found on the websites of the National Employment.
Job centres, local councils, private recruitment companies and employment services, and employers also advertise job vacancies on the Internet. Jobseekers can speed up their applications by registering on the employers’ sites and applying directly for the vacancies.
Many jobs are advertised on social media, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. A number of employer directories and listings are available to help jobseekers research potential employers to apply to. Local business parks can be searched for and visited in order to see whether there are any companies that take your interest. To find opportunities, networking or interacting with people to exchange information and develop contacts can be used.
