VACANT

Vacant is an adjective that refers to what is unoccupied or unprovided . It can be a physical space , a job or a prize ; for example: "There is a vacancy in the sales department " , "The resignation of the coach left vacant one of the most coveted positions in Argentine football" , "The jackpot was vacant since there were no bettors with more than five correct answers" .

The most common use of the concept is related to a position , a position or a position. The vacancy can be completed with the incorporation of a person outside the organization in question (in the case of a job, a new worker is hired) or through an internal movement (if the position of president of a corporation is vacant, it can be assumed by a lower-ranking manager in the hierarchical ladder who achieves a promotion).

Large companies tend to proceed differently from small companies when they need to fill jobs. In general, their Internet sites have a permanent section to which anyone who wishes to be part of their team can go (under the label of "Employment" or "Work with us", among other possibilities).

This section usually consists of three basic parts: the first, by way of presentation, seeks to communicate the professional and personal benefits of the experience offered, often citing comments from several of its employees; Next, the main positions in their organization chart are detailed, highlighting the possibilities of a career within the company (receiving training that exceeds the limits of a simple training for a specific series of tasks, which allows employees to move up within the same company as you improve your resume); Finally, the vacant positions are listed and an application form is submitted .

Another very common practice in large companies is to communicate to their employees about available vacancies and ask them to pass this information on to their friends and family, so that if it is of interest to any of them they can grant them an interview. In this way, companies avoid making their search for personnel public and benefit from hiring someone they trust.

The training centers have a limited number of vacancies per cycle education , and often require interested students pass a series of evaluations.
