CV & Application
When creating your CV, an ideal length is around 2-3 pages of A4. Attention to detail is important including consistency in dates and explaining any gaps in employment. Word your CV in a way that is formal and professional. Highlight your main achievements and responsibilities under each role you have been in. Ensure you have checked it for any typos, spelling or grammatical mistakes. Finally, know your CV inside out as prospective employers will go through it thoroughly with you at interview stage.
Job Interviews
The 3 Ps of interviewing are; Preparation, practice and performance. Prepare by looking at the key skills and employer wants and then craft stories that demonstrate how you have used those skills. Prepare your stories so you are speaking in the first person singular and the past tense. So ‘I did…’ or I spoke to the customer. Then practise your stories out loud. The interview is a performance , so think about good eye contact and a good upbeat tone in your voice.
Salary & Benefits
Understand the job market. Your rewards in life will always be determined by what you do, how well you do it and he difficulty of replacing you.
