I’ve been there just once to register my details and can tell I had an excellent impression from start. Very friendly and straight forward. Also the appointment I had with Marie the Director offered a great atmosphere to show your true self and future aspirations. Very professional overall.

Fantastic friendly people, nothing is too much trouble, anyone looking for work look no further.
Terry Mahoney Top TipsThe most important information – usually your skills and recent experience – should be clearly laid out at the very beginning of your CV, as it’s this that will get you long-listed for an interview. Don’t assume the interviewer will search through reams of information to find out if you’re qualified for a position – they won’t!
A sure-fire way to boost your chances of getting an interview is to tweak your CV for each application you make. Do your research on the business or organisation – what type of language do they use on their website to describe their staff and their outlook? Can you mirror this in your CV? Go through the job spec with a fine tooth comb, making sure to include examples proving relevant experience for all requirements of the role.
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.
Tell 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.
