Ice Cream For The Stomach

topics!

comes into my hands a pamphlet published by the European Commission, through EURES entitled "Soon you will hear our ...", which aims to provide job seekers European data on the culture of other European countries with the idea of \u200b\u200bmore affordable labor mobility across Europe.
is a collection of "jewels" as the text itself indicates wisdom the network has been collecting over the years ... " This book will prove especially useful to job seekers, as it offers a specific resource to find jobs and break down some cultural barriers that exist in Europe. " I liked him to break cultural barriers ... until I got to the section Spain ...
copy for that does not lead to misunderstandings about what I read:
  • " In Spain are not very specific, but candidates should not be late (please try not to get too soon, if it comes with ten or five minutes in advance will be enough to have time look for the person being interviewed). "
  • Go to an interview is not like to party. You must attend the interview thinking that it will work there. It is not appropriate to wear too formal nor too informal . is sufficient to be generally clean and tidy. The managers are licensed or tie, if they are men, and heels if they are women. We dressed in neutral colors, but black ( in Spain, wearing black is for funerals , parties at night or waiters ).
  • English law prohibits smoking in almost all places, and there really hate English smoke but there are other people who smoke and do during a long interview if they feel they can help create a more relaxed or you are tired, if permit.
  • The foreign job seekers should know that English businessmen are not willing to train a worker going to leave office within a short period of time, or to "marry" a candidate ( in Spain is not simple terminate an employment contract).
  • If coming from outside Spain, prepare for some waiting time , but also remember that there are some regional differences. A businessman who went to public employment service personnel needs saying urgent can wait a month before getting his first response. (Remember that business is business and recruitment usually not an issue as urgent ). Of course, you may be lucky enough to cope "perfect", with good candidates send CV to meet the needs of the company and companies who respond yes or no about three or four days, but not the norm .
first thing I did was look up the date of issue, as I thought it was based on data from the 70, but no, the edition is 2009! The first barrier to be removed is the not to allow the image of English business looks "altered" to this type of information is nothing today, where, in my opinion represents an informal entrepreneur and interested, a slow and archaic institutions and all this decorated with the typical folklore English for anything that represents modern Spain in which we see ourselves reflected the English business itself, but also European century.
