The job market is constantly changing. If you’ve worked for the same employer for a long time but suddenly lose your job, it can be difficult to start applying again. Is there still work to be found in your old profession, and does it still suit you? And how can you best apply for a job in the current job market?
ZW Werkt Door is here to help you. We offer free and non-binding help to everyone in Zaanstreek-Waterland. In this blog, we explain the ways we can help you prepare for the job market.
Career coaching as a helping hand
Sometimes you don’t immediately know what work suits you, especially if you have been doing the same thing for a long time. Maybe there are few jobs to be found in your old job, because it has disappeared due to digitalization, for example. In that case, it is a good idea to check which jobs suit you and are future-proof.
Career coaching gives you personal guidance to discover your passions and qualities. Together with a coach from ZW Werkt Door, you will look for a job that not only suits you, but one that you really enjoy and in which there is work to be found.
Discover what you are good at
It is important to know what you are good at, especially if you are considering switching careers. In addition, several places these days, such as the Zaanstreek-Waterland job board, allow you to apply based on your skills rather than your resume.
Our advisors will be happy to help you discover what skills you have, for example through a skills and competency test.
Make a fresh start with retraining and continuing education
Thinking about getting started in a whole new profession? Even then we can help you. We are happy to think along with you about retraining and further training. For example, did you know that apprenticeship is possible in many professions? This way, you can learn the profession while you are already working and getting paid. Retraining does not have to mean going back to school. There are different ways to learn, and we are happy to help you find one that suits you.
Help in applying for a job
Applying for a job can be intimidating, especially if it’s been a long time since your last job interview. ZW Werkt Door’s job training programs prepare you for the challenges of the interview process. From writing a compelling cover letter to learning how to properly present yourself during a job interview, we will help you where you need it.
