Be patient
Job hunting can be a lengthy process if you’re applying for numerous positions and awaiting responses from recruiters regarding shortlisting and interview dates. Be patient and remember, companies have procedures to adhere to and want to ensure they carefully consider their decisions. If you face rejection – at application level or following interview, it is important not to be disheartened. See feedback from recruiters and use the feedback to receive to positively improve on your applications / CV or your performance at interview
Remember first impressions count
Always consider the importance of first impressions at every stage of the recruitment process. From the way you write and present your CV or application, companies are building an impression of you – so check there are no spelling or grammatical errors and that you present your skills, education and experience clearly, fully and without exaggeration!. If you’re invited for interview, show your interest in the role by arriving early, dressing smartly and being well prepared.
