Many requests are discarded in seconds. You don't have it for what reason.
¿Qué necesitas hoy?
Imagine sending 40 requests in a month.
You check the mail every morning.
Nothing.
It's not a lack of desire. Nor is it a lack of capacity.
It is always something simpler: your request does not reach the correct person, it arrives in a way that no one stops to read.
The good news is that it can only be corrected. And you don't need to pay a person to do it.
The 7 seconds that decide your request
An eye tracking study carried out by the Ladders employment company found recruiters looking at a CV, on average, about 7 seconds before deciding whether to continue reading.
Seven seconds.
And many companies also use automatic filters that review whether your CV has the key words of the offer.
Eso means something important:
Your CV on the ground has to be good. You have to understand yourself quickly and speak the same language that is vacant.
El error más común en un CV
The majority of people write what towards.
Recruiters are looking for what you deceived.
Look at the difference:
❌ “"Customer service."”
✅ “I served more than 50 customers a day and resolved their queries quickly.”
It's the same job. But the second one shows results, and that's what calls for attention in just 7 seconds.
Other details that make it different:
Put the two pages together, nothing bad.
Updated contact details.
PDF format, with a clear name such as “CV-Name-Surname”.
No experience? You have more than what you believe
Many people stop themselves because they think that without experience there is nothing to put forward.
No es así.
Courses, volunteering, informal work, helping in a family business: it’s all in the account.
And there are many things that can accept people without experience: customer service, sales, call center, warehouse, desk or reception.
A simple trick: on employment portals, search with words like “"without experience"”, “primer empleo” the “"apprentice"”.
You will see offers designed just to get started.
Dónde buscar (y dónde no)
Yes:
Large job portals, such as Computrabajo, Indeed or LinkedIn, with filters by city, journey and modality.
Public job placements, which many governments offer at no cost.
Certified course platforms, to strengthen your profile while searching.
Freelance work platforms, if you want to work from home offering your services.
Node:
Offers that ask you to pay for “materials”, “training” or “reserving your property”.
Interviews that only take place via chat.
Sueldos that seem too good to be true.
No company would charge you for interviewing or hiring you.
Your 7-day plan
You don't need to do it every day. You need a plan.
Day 1: Define your objective. What type of work, what time and how far from your home.
Day 2: Fix your CV. Unite two pages, achievements instead of tasks.
Day 3: Create your profiles. At least the large employment portals.
Day 4: Search with filters. Use your city and words like “without experience” if you are starting.
Day 5: Apply to 5 offers, not 50. Adjust your CV with the words of each vacancy.
Day 6: Sum a course. A short certificate strengthens your profile while you continue searching.
Day 7: Follow-up. Review your postulations and respond quickly to any contact.
Repeat each week. The constancy always wins.
