Career networks such as LinkedIn or Xing already have over 7.5 million users worldwide and give you the opportunity to create your own applicant profile, which you can manage at any time. Known as social networks in the business world, these portals allow you to network directly with companies or their HR managers.

The concept is very simple: you create an account and select the status that says you are currently looking for a job. This status is displayed to HR managers and is your chance to be found as a specialist and manager. You can also actively search for vacancies in the network’s job portal. You can set “job notifications” while conducting your job search, so that you will be informed when new vacancies are available in your field.

If a job advertisement appeals to you, apply directly in the network with just one click. You can store and manage your application documents at any time.

OUR TIP

Search for regional companies and their HR managers in your industry on the Internet! As soon as you have researched a contact person, message them directly in the career network and ask them to talk to you about job vacancies!

You can also join groups and sign up for job events on Facebook and similar sites. Simply enter keywords such as “jobs in Berlin” or “Berlin job fair” in the network's search bar. With one click you will find all the relevant information you need to structure your job search. Take advantage of this opportunity!
