CV, Cover Letter & Icelandic Job Market

How to create a CV and write a strong cover letter when applying for a job in Iceland is just a part of the episode where I welcome Silja Jóhannesar Ástudóttir. Silja worked as a recruiter for a former agency Capacent, she is in a contact with foreigners and has also taught Icelandic before. We went over topics such as how to apply for a job, where to apply, what to do once we are invited for an interview, and also, what to do when we are not getting replies at all. How looks the Icelandic market nowadays and where is the market positioning people from abroad that are applying for a job. 

All in the episode. Below, I am leaving a couple of links that might help you when looking for a job.
