Terry Mahoney Top TipsAre you well dressed? Does your outfit follow the conventions in this job sector, whilst at the conservative end of your own range? Ask the consultancy what the client’s dress code is.
Be prepared for the unexpected. It often happens that there is an aspect of the job you had not considered. If you are asked about this, admit you had not considered it in depth – offer it back to the interviewer by asking questions about the subject. As soon as you can, turn the emphasis onto another aspect of the role that you feel positive about.
A CV is essentially a selling tool, so make active references to your work. Explaining what you have enjoyed about your job gives everything a sense of ownership and shows that you are passionate about what you have done. But be careful not to wander from the point. Ensure your CV provides information that relates to the role you are applying for.
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.
