By far the best agency I’ve ever dealt with, if you ever find yourself in need of a new job I cannot recommend The Staff Agency enough. Really friendly staff that actually care about getting you into work. Brilliant communication and make you feel valued.
Matt Calderwood Top TipsTell the consultancy how the interview went and get feedback from them, including when they expect the client to make a decision. If there is something else you want to mention, send a brief email or phone the agency.
You are not an obvious candidate for a job if you currently work in a different sector, so you need to grab the employer’s attention early. List all relevant skills and achievements on the first page. Include any relevant outside-work activities and training you are taking or are about to embark on. Then list your employment dates and job titles on the second page. Consider tweaking your job title to fit an employer’s jargon. If they are advertising for a ‘personnel specialist’ and your previous role was a HR adviser, call yourself a ‘personnel specialist’. There is no difference in roles but you are gaining an edge by aligning yourself with that position.
First impressions really do count, so make sure that the layout is clear and easy to follow. Get the key details on the first page of the document, perhaps in the form of a series of bullet points to make them easier to read. As a rule, never let your CV run to more than 2-sides of A4 paper. You do not want to bore your potential boss before you have even met them.
Decorative patterns and eccentric formatting can often detract from your message. Keep your CV uncluttered with short sentences, big margins around your text, and key points emphasised. Bullet points can be useful in moderation.
