Finding The Right Job
"Almost always, an employer is looking for someone who can function in the role straight away, so you need to consider your experience and qualifications."
Things to consider when looking for a job:
Almost always, an employer is looking for someone who can function in the role straight away, so you need to consider your experience and qualifications.
It is important to give some thought to the environment in which you would prefer to work.
Most of us work 5 days a week and long hours and the addition of over an hour's travel can take a lot out of our home and family lives.
We all know what we would like to earn, but you should also have a clear idea of what you will Accept!
What are you are willing to compromise?
Will you consider a smaller salary to start?
Your consultant will listen to your aspirations, discuss your strengths and how to deal with any perceived weaknesses.
Having discussed with you which employers to approach on your behalf and what roles to pursue, your consultant will prepare an action plan,
advise you on how to deal with different situations and explain what to expect.
He or she will then access a database of client contacts and registered requirements, compile a list of possible or likely opportunities and begin the process of arranging interviews for you with relevant clients. For consultancies, market knowledge is crucial.
Some employers respond to CVs, others to personal recommendations but all require a tenacious and articulate consultant who can argue your case. Your consultant should be able to advise on interview technique, brief you fully on the role and company and debrief you following the interview. If you are keen, after further liaison with the employer, your consultant will arrange further interviews and attempt to convert the client’s positive thoughts into a firm offer.
Consultancies can offer far greater coverage than advertisements or personal contacts. They also smooth things along by presenting you in the best possible light at every stage, provide on-going support and advice and can 'make things happen' by encouraging employers to take decisions.
Objective career counseling will be provided as your consultant understands the roles you are likely to secure interviews for and attain success with.
Applicants are not charged for the recruitment consultancy services. Your consultant wants you to accept the best offer and is a valuable resource, which you should exploit to the full.
