Not what they tell in ads or corporate guides, but the reality told by someone who has experienced firsthand the "ups and downs" of the labor market in Spain.

Throughout my life, I've had to deal with all kinds of jobs and platforms, and let me tell you, InfoJobs has been one of those faithful battle buddies. So, sit back, grab your cup of coffee and get ready to learn all the tricks and secrets that will make your job search more effective than a Monday with extra caffeine.

What is InfoJobs Empleo?

Look, if you've spent the last few years in a cave or just hadn't heard, InfoJobs is the leading job search platform in Spain. Founded back in '98 (when the world still didn't know what to do with the Internet), InfoJobs has grown to become the leading online job board, surpassing competitors like Indeed and LinkedIn.

Basically, it's the place to go when you're fed up with your current boss or when you need to turn your career around. But here you don't just sign up and sit back and wait. No way, dude! You have to work hard.

My First Experience with InfoJobs Employment

Let me go back in time for a moment... Back in 2008, when the economic crisis was hitting hard, InfoJobs was my lifeline. Desperate to find a job? Of course I was! But like you, I faced the dreaded "profile with no hits."

At first, I thought it was a matter of luck. deluded me! It turns out that, as with everything, InfoJobs has its trick. It's not just a matter of having a good resume, but of knowing how to position yourself on the platform. Let me tell you how I did it, because I know you're interested.

How to Optimize Your InfoJobs Profile to Get Called NOW

Here comes the tip that will save you hours of frustration: YOUR PROFILE IS EVERYTHING. If you don't invest time in filling it out 100%, you are losing opportunities.

1. Professional Photo: No more of the typical cropped photo at your cousin's wedding. A professional image makes the difference.
2. Personal Summary: This is where you tell who you are and what you offer. Be direct, sell your bike without beating around the bush.
4. Keywords: The InfoJobs algorithm works like Google. If you're an expert in digital marketing, be sure to mention those keywords several times in your profile.
6. Experience and Skills: Don't just copy and paste from your CV. Personalize, be specific and tell how you have solved problems in your previous jobs.

Job Vacancies on InfoJobs: Where's the Chicha?

Okay, you have your profile optimized. Now, how do you find the best offers? Because not all offers are the same, far from it. Here's my strategy:

1. Smart Filters: Learn how to use filters to not get lost among the thousands of offers. For example, search by location, sector and type of contract.
3. Job Alerts: Set up alerts so that offers reach you by email before the competition. This is like the Wild West, whoever gets there first, wins.
4. Direct Application: Once you find an offer that interests you, don't sleep!Apply right away, but be sure to personalize your cover letter for each company.

The InfoJobs Reality: It's Not All Plain Pink

Now, let's get to the part that no one tells you. While InfoJobs has many advantages, it also has its flats. I'll be honest with you: not all the companies that post offers here are completely serious. I've come across a few offers that seem like a bargain, but then turn out to be pure scams.

That's why my advice is: be selective, research the company before applying and never, but never, trust offers that ask for money up front. If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

InfoJobs Success (and Failure) Stories

Let me tell you a couple of anecdotes. The first time I got a decent job through InfoJobs was in the digital marketing sector. More than 200 people applied, but in the end, my optimized profile and personalized cover letter made me stand out.

On the other hand, I also got several disappointments, like the time I was selected for an interview and then it turned out to be a pyramid sales "opportunity". But, hey, you learn from everything, right?

Conclusion: Is it worth using InfoJobs Jobs?

If you've gotten this far, you've probably already realized that yes, InfoJobs is worth it, but only if you know how to get the most out of it. It's not a magical place where they throw offers in your face; you have to work on your profile, know where to look and be consistent.

So, if you're looking for a job and feel lost, I encourage you to give InfoJobs a try. But do it with your head and, above all, don't give up at the first change.
