Our Andover branch helped to secure a great candidate a temp to perm opportunity last week – he was so pleased with the service he received from Corr that he dropped off a box of 24 Mars bars to his consultant Gill Scott and the team as a thank you.
What a lovely surprise!
Job hunting can be tough and although you are a great candidate for the role, you won’t be the only one. So, what can you do to make sure that you stand out from the crowd?
On average recruiters and hiring managers take only about 7 seconds to review your CV, which means simple errors such as spelling mistakes, unclear layout and lengthy paragraphs can result in your CV being overlooked. This is why you want to make sure from CV and application to the interview and follow up, that you make the right impression quickly.
Here are a few tips to help you on your job search…
Get noticed
The company will want to see how motivated you are to work for them
The Interview
The personal touch
Reach out to the interviewer and your potential new employer following your interview and leave a positive lasting impression. Try to reference parts of the conversation to show how engaged you were. You don’t need to do this immediately after the interview but certainly do this the day following the interview.
We are sure following these steps will help you stand out from the crowd and leave a lasting impression. Good luck and let us know how you get on; we’d love to hear from you!
