Job search

The first news item is about job searching.

Unemployed people will have a new obligation. The unemployed person must make a short introduction online. In the introduction, the job seeker tells who they are and what kind of skills they have.

The presentation must be on the authority’s website from the beginning of September. Only a small number of unemployed people have made the presentation.

The purpose of the presentation is to make it easier for employers to find good employees than before.

Unemployed job seekers will now have to submit an online introduction. Job seekers will not be penalized if they fail to submit an introduction.

Schools
