Our aim is to find you the right position and to do this we need you to help us:

Create the right CV
Keep it simple including your personal details, educational history, academic achievements and work experiences. Use bullet points to make your experience punchy and concise, never leave gaps as employers can suspect the worst. It should be intriguing and brief enough to allow further explanation at interview, remember the CV is your first impression.

Keep an open mind
Our consultants deal with different candidates and different jobs on a daily basis, who better to advise you on your prospects and the types of position available to you. At times we will challenge and perhaps make you think of a career route you may not have thought about. It is important that you trust our judgment. ; Many candidates thank us for providing them with opportunities they may not have considered initially.

Be honest with us
We understand that you may register with a few other agencies in your search for work and hence may have a variety of possibilities to look at. Please keep us up to date if you are going for other interviews so we can manage our client’s expectations. We also ask that if we speak to you about a position first please tell other agencies that we have already briefed you. We believe in asking candidates about a role before sending a CV – some of our competitors don’t and this can cause complications.

Be prepared
It is a competitive job market at times, most other candidates going for the interview will have looked at the company website and seen the spec so you need to differentiate yourself;

• Know who you are meeting and how to get there.
• Do your homework, visit the company website, search the net for other information, read trade magazines and study competitors web sites – know the current issues facing the business.
• Look at the job spec again to ensure you can provide evidence that you match their requirements, have examples ready from your technical and personal skills.
• Look smart and remember that anyone from the receptionist to the Managing Director may influence the final decision. Be courteous to everyone!
• Be prepared to discuss gaps on your CV, why you made certain moves and what you could have done better with hindsight.

And finally
Make sure you give us a call with your feedback immediately after the interview. Some clients will call us within an hour of seeing a candidate so it is essential we know your thoughts before then.
