JOB MARKET



The challenge of the first job
Job offers are few and far between [1]  and candidates innumerable. But there are ways to help young people get into the job market [2]

Getting a job is more and more difficult, mainly for young people aged between 16 and 24. Besides [3]  the economic crisis, the few available vacancies [4] in companies are fought over [5] by an ever bigger number of candidates. For the young person who has never worked before, the challenge is tougher [6] because many companies demand [7] some experience. But even with these obstacles, the chances of getting a first job increase if young people follow some important steps. See below some tips [8] which could make it easier for young people to get into the job market.

Take studying seriously
The first step is to have a good educational base. Whether studying in a public or private school, the most important thing is for teenagers to take studying seriously, in junior school and in high school[9] . Better still if the teenager has some knowledge of information technology [10] and learns English or some other language.

The Internet could help
The more companies get your résumé [12] (which must be well put together [13] and free of errors in Portuguese), the greater your chances will be. That is why it is good to check out the job offers published in newspapers and also released through employment agencies [14] (many of them have sites on the Internet). Besides releasing job opportunities, the agencies offer another interesting service for those registering [15] with them: they advise you when a vacancy appears that is appropriate for your specialty. But you can also use the Internet to send your résumé straight to companies, as many of them have places on their own sites to get candidates’ résumés.

What type of professional
are the companies looking for [16]?
The best jobs generally are taken by university graduates, who have done post-graduation courses and are fluent in English or another language. However, a recent study shows that companies do not just want young people with a good professional base. They also value young people’s behavior in the workplace. In other words, companies want young, mature, creative, daring [17], and honest people who are always willing [18] to learn new things and who know how to get on well [19] with colleagues.

How to prepare well for an interview
It is important to be well prepared for a job interview and practice the best answers to possible questions an interviewer could ask. It is common for the interviewer to ask why you are unemployed, why you want to work in that company, what you know about the company and what salary you are looking for.    Some interviewers can ask questions about current affairs in Brazil and the world (so it is always good to be well informed).
Even questions about your personal life (dating, personal tastes etc.) could be asked during an interview. 
 Answering these questions nicely, confidently and sincerely increases your  chances of being hired [20].
