Recruitment

Job vacancies are advertised in various ways and different media, i.e. advertisements in daily newspapers, advertising papers and the regional press, temporary staff bureaux, Selor (the Federal Government Selection Office), selection agencies, the Internet, teletext, etc. On top of this there are also a great many hidden vacancies: 50% of vacancies are never announced. Which means you should also apply spontaneously. 

The Yellow Pages, applicant databases on the Internet of, for example, the employment services, the 'social card' (list of organisations active in the social sector), company lists, newspaper articles, Internet, job fairs, personal network and specialist journals.

When spontaneously applying for a post, you are more likely to succeed if you address your letter to a named individual. If you do not know the name, call the company first.

And don't forget your personal circle of relations, friends and acquaintances, who will be able to put you on the right track. Even if they themselves cannot help you find a job, they may be able to let you have the name of someone who can open some doors for you.
