Our “Job Search” facility is a simple and effective way of finding your ideal role from our online database. To help define your search as much as possible, you can use the following four sections:
Sector:
This allows you to select the type of role you are looking for. You can do this by profession (e.g. Secretarial, Reception) or by industry (e.g. Banking, Insurance).
Location:
This allows you to limit your search to those areas you are happy to travel to and work within.
Contract Type:
We support clients in recruiting for temporary, contract and permanent positions. This allows you to select which of these types of roles you would like to be considered for.
Keyword Search:
This allows you to enter specific ‘key words’, helping you to focus your search even further. For example, you may wish to enter the key words “Banking Secretary”.
NB: Key words are not case sensitive.
Creating Your CV
As the first impression that a potential employer receives of you, it is imperative that your curriculum vitae is as strong as possible.
DO:
Ensure that your CV picks out the skills that are most relevant to the type of role you are looking for e.g. evidence of complex diary and travel management for a team secretary.
List any positions of responsibility you have held in the past, as well as any other activities that show initiative and commitment to your chosen career.
Make the most of your strong points.
Keep your CV to a maximum of two sides of paper. Due to the volume of CVs employers receive, you need to make an immediate impact.
DON’T:
Forget to check your spelling and grammar prior to submitting your CV for consideration. A poorly worded document can undermine the information you are trying to convey.
Submit your CV without ensuring that all of the necessary information is on it, and that your employment and education dates make sense. As well as highlighting a lack of attention to detail, this could make potential employers wonder why dates are incorrect.
Lie on your CV. Lack of honesty about your skills or experience, however minor it may seem, could lead to your employment being terminated.
