Jobseeker Advice, Top Tips
Finally, you’re now ready to really commit yourself to the challenge of finding your next career move, so here are some last minutetop tips to keep you on the straight & narrow.
TIP 1 – Are you contactable?
Have you set up a personal email & mobile number to stay in touch with career alerts, job descriptions & interview details? Avoid very personal addresses & voicemail messages to ensure that you convey a professional image.
TIP 2 – Are you dressed to impress?
People do judge a book by its cover, so ensure that your appearance doesn’t detract from your interview performance – save your “out there” fashion, hair & make-up for Friday nights, Halloween or fancy dress parties.
TIP 3 – Are you available?
Unless you are facing redundancy, relocating or totally honest with your boss, attending interviews during working hours is just one of the challenges when finding a new position. Whilst most interviewers will try & accommodate early, late or lunchtime appointments, there will be situations where meetings have to take place between the hours of 9 to 5. Make sure that you keep some holiday or “time owed” in reserve for these occasions.
