Must know job tricks & tips...

Preparation stage:

Always:

  • Update your CV in line with the job you are applying for. This works well if you are adaptable to more than one type of job vacancy
  • Keep your CV fairly short (2 pages max)
  • Prepare previous experience relevant to the job you are applying for – ensure you have the core skills the employer is looking for on there and with examples you have shown this in previous roles
  • Contact and register with multiple recruitment agencies, this widens your chances and helps you get a variety of job offerings
  • Follow up with recruiters – ensure you contact them more than once, to get feedback on the application they have submitted for you
  • Focus on your strengths and be aware of your weaknesses

Interview stage

Must know job tricks & tips...

Interview stage:
  • Always arrive early (absolute must - 15-20 mins is best)
  • Greet the receptionist by being warm and friendly; almost always the initial greeting is feedback to the hiring manager
  • Greet the interviewer with a firm handshake, whilst maintaining eye contact and smile; this displays strength of character and gains trust
  • On the way to the interview room, ensure you make small talk to build rapport
  • Always have prepared, a few relevant questions for when the interviewer has finished. This shows you have put thought into the job role and shows genuine interest
  • Always attempt to close the interview by asking for the job. For example; based on what you have seen/heard from me today, do you have any reservations on offering me the job? – this shows tenacity and enables you to iron out any concerns the interviewer may have at the end
  • And lastly... enjoy it. For every interview completed, experience is gained. Be calm and confident in your abilities and show your character to the interviewer. This is your chance to work out if the role/company is suited to you as much as you are suited to them
