Kultureller Hintergrund
Latvians value modesty. When 'meklēt darbu', it's common to be humble about skills initially, then prove them through hard work. Networking is key. Many jobs are found through 'paziņas' (acquaintances) before they are even posted online. CV.lv is the 'Google' of job hunting in Latvia. Everyone 'meklē darbu' there first. The 'Darba tikums' (work ethic) means that even if you are 'meklēt darbu', you should stay busy with other tasks to show character.

Don't say 'par'
