An appointment at RAV Liestal gives you time to explain what you bring to the table and to ask about your job search in the upper Baselbiet. Perhaps you worked in administration or healthcare in Poland, or you are looking for a role in one of the region’s trades. Dialektikus+ provides Polish–German interpreting at RAV Liestal. When you speak Polish, your adviser hears the interpretation in German. You hear the adviser’s questions and explanations in Polish and can respond in the language you use to describe your experience most clearly.
Look at the Work Available in Liestal and the Upper Baselbiet
As the capital of Basel-Landschaft, Liestal offers a mix of cantonal administration, services, education and healthcare, including Kantonsspital Baselland. Skilled trades and smaller industrial employers, including businesses in precision engineering, are part of the local economy too. If you are considering a job in one of these sectors, bring an advert and ask about the wording that matters to you. A discussion of one real opening helps the adviser understand where your search is heading.
A role in local administration can involve written enquiries, scheduled meetings or contact with the public. If the advert gives a language requirement, discuss the duties it applies to. You can describe which workplace conversations you already handle in German and what sort of written material takes more preparation.
Some jobseekers also consider Basel because of its transport links with Liestal. Do your homework on the worksite and hours before the appointment if these affect where you can look. A local role and a role in Basel may both suit your experience. Give the adviser enough information about each location and schedule to discuss which details you would want to check with the employer.
Explain How You Used Your Skills in a Previous Role
If you have several years of office or service work under your belt, select one example that shows what you were responsible for. In a clinic or public office, you may have taken enquiries, arranged appointments or checked paperwork before passing it to another colleague. Say what information you handled and how you knew what to do next. The interpreter can convey the Polish name of a role or procedure along with what it meant at your workplace.
For a skilled trade or a role in precision engineering, give an example of a task from start to finish. You could say what you prepared, how the result was checked and who used your work. If a vacancy requires particular experience or training, tell the adviser which part you have used yourself. Ask who can confirm whether a qualification fits the requirement. In this way you can discuss the actual tasks before deciding how to describe the experience in an application.
If you are considering a move between sectors, discuss the skill that connects the roles. For example, a back-office job may involve organising work for several people, even when the people and services change. Explain how you kept track of requests and whom you updated when something changed. Your adviser can use that example to ask about other work you might consider.
Prepare Questions About a Vacancy, Course or Document
You might hit a snag when a job advert uses a formal German term for a duty or certificate. Point to the phrase and ask what you should clarify with the employer. If the adviser mentions training, ask what the learning activity involves and how it relates to the kind of work you are looking for. You can hear the explanation in Polish and ask a follow-up question before going on to the next point.
Use the instructions for your appointment when choosing what to have ready. If you want to discuss a Polish work reference or diploma, give the institution, dates and the exact title. Ask RAV Liestal which documents it needs and in which form. A written certified translation is a separate service from the interpreting used to discuss what a document covers.
Follow the Conversation and Confirm the Next Step
It can take time to get to grips with the names of different offices or measures mentioned in a letter. RAV Liestal provides employment advice, placement support and labour market measures. The unemployment insurance fund assesses entitlement to daily allowances and pays them. If you are unsure which office can answer a particular question, give the subject and ask whom to contact.
Talk to the adviser directly and pause between complete points. The interpreter conveys each person’s words accurately, neutrally and confidentially. You stay in the driving seat of your own search and the adviser makes the decisions that belong to their role. Ask for names or dates to be repeated when you need to hear them again. If a requirement has several parts, ask the adviser to go through each part separately.
Use the end of the discussion to confirm what you need to do. Perhaps you agreed to ask an employer about a job in Basel or check which documents to bring for a course discussion. If the adviser says to keep an eye out for a written update, ask how you should expect to receive it. Note the exact organisation or vacancy and keep those details with the instructions for your appointment.
At a later meeting, bring updates on the vacancies you discussed. If someone replied from a local practice, a workshop or an employer in Basel, explain what they said and the question you still have. If there are several replies, put them in order so your adviser can ask about each one.
