What I realized about Israeli's is that that are much more likely to hire a candidate for a job if their friend or family recommends such a person than if a candidate with a great CV (resume) applies for the same position. I'll provide an example from my past employment search. Toward the end of my Ulan, around April-May 2014 I started sending out resumes for jobs. I applies for anything in the English content writing and editing field because of my experience as a writer and English teacher. When I ran out of those jobs I also started applying for sales and administrative positions that weren't the night shift. I sent out over 100 resumes, mostly to positions that I was far overqualified for, and I may have received three or four responses. My story made me realize that it didn't matter that I had a good CV, and it didn't matter that I even applied for jobs that I could do in my sleep, but what mattered was that I didn't have anyone who could vouch for me.
Then all of a sudden I started teaching the brother of an Israeli CEO. After a few months working with the guy he asked me if I'd be interested in a sales job, and I said possibly. He took me upstairs to his brother's company, introduced me to the sales manager and the rest is history. I now work at this company doing sales all because an Israeli got me in the door. I work at a start up on the rise, and it finally feels like I'm doing something legitimate here after two years. All it took was me meeting and proving myself to the right person, so follow my example and do the same thing whenever you have an opportunity with an Israeli.
New olim, take my experience and learn from it. In this country it's not about what you know, it's about who you know. You can very big things in Israel without advanced degrees from an esteemed University because of this phenomenon. Take Yair Lapid, the country's former Minister of Finance. He wasn't a famous economist, banker, but even businessman, but a journalist who never actually finished a formal degree (I heard this from a credible source but I can't say this with 100% certainty). Still, the head of a major political party and Minister of Finance without a formal degree, definitely not in his field. How does that happen? Because it's Israel and it's all about who you know.
Bottom line, if you want to be part of something legitimate (if there is such a thing, because let's be honest there's a lot of corruption in Israel) and Israeli then you have to network with Israelis. Networking with Anglos will get you to call centers and Binary working night shifts. If that's what you're looking for then you'll find plenty of it in Israel, but if you want something with normal hours that actually requires skills and will take you somewhere then start networking with Israelis.
Now when I say network I don't mean go to job fairs and employment events only; I mean speak to people. If people are going to an event, social or business go, and when you go don't be shy to talk about yourself if people ask. If you're looking for work make sure to tell people what you do, and casually mention that you may be looking for work. One of the great things about Israelis is their willingness to help. You may have to ask them ten times, but in the end a warm recommendation from someone to their friend will help you a million times more than going to a job fair or sending a nice resume. If you're looking to stay in Israel long term break out of your aliyah circle and network with Israelis.
Just a disclaimer, I don't feel like proof reading so any spelling and grammar mistakes should be excused.
