The labor market in Turkmenistan offers more than 100 new vacancies every day. However, applicants face another question: “Looking for a job on their own or seeking assistance in recruiting agencies?”. Fortunately, there are a lot of these in Ashgabat.
Job fairs are held on a regular basis in different cities of Turkmenistan , where young specialists find relevant offers for themselves. The state employment portal home and various recruiting agencies offer to fill in the application form on the website.
Electronic CVs and questionnaires describing the professional activities of candidates are listed in the employers’ database, so administrators of job search sites advise not neglecting to fill in all the required fields in the questionnaire.
The main advice from HR managers is: “Regard your job search like the job itself!”. Candidates often do not make an effort to get the desired position, fail test tasks, and are not even interested in information about the company they are going to work for.
When going to an interview, in addition to a good mood, be sure to have identification documents with you, including passport and CV, copies of diplomas and certificates.You may also need a notebook and a pen for urgent notes, says a manager of one of the Ashgabat recruitment agencies.
The employer has the right to ask questions about the previous place of work and the reasons for dismissal.In turn, the candidate can clarify the working moments, from the schedule to the salary.
Attention should be immediately paid to the fact that different recruiting agencies put forward specific requirements when concluding a contract.Undertaking to find an applicant for the position a desired vacancy, the agency requests a percentage payment for its service.
But in general, by turning to such organizations, the applicant saves personal time, while receiving several employment options to choose from.
Mainly the companies that conduct a closed search for hiring new employees cooperate with recruiting agencies. Most often, candidates receive an invitation to the declared position within a month.
As the requests for job seekers submitted by several recruiting agencies in Ashgabat and the Akhal region show, the most demanded professions in the region are accountants, translators, engineers, cooks and sales agents.
