Take the first step towards your dream career: with an unsolicited application that attracts attention!

In our article on unsolicited applications, you will learn how to proactively approach companies and take your career into your own hands. We give you practical tips and instructions on how to write a convincing unsolicited application that will impress companies and open up new professional opportunities for you.

An unsolicited application is an application you submit to a company even if there is no specific job opening. So you are applying proactively to explore potential job opportunities that may not be publicly advertised.

Here are some steps to submit an unsolicited application:

1. Research: Identify companies that match your professional interests and qualifications. Research their industries, products, services, and potential talent needs.

2. Contact us: Find the contact details of the HR manager or relevant department of the company. You can find this information on the company website, in industry directories or through professional networks.

3. Prepare your cover letter: Write a compelling cover letter that explains your motivation for applying and highlights your skills and experience that are relevant to the company. Emphasize how you can contribute to the company's success.

4. Create your resume: Update your resume and adapt it to the needs of the company. Highlight relevant skills, experience and achievements.

5. Sending the application: Send your cover letter and CV by email or post to the contact person or department indicated. Make sure you use the correct salutation and contact details.

6. Follow up: After a few weeks, you can send a follow-up email or call to ask about the status of your application and to reiterate your interest.

A speculative application requires initiative and perseverance, but can be an effective way to discover potential job opportunities and expand your network.
