Hot Tips
-
-
Don't apply for multiple jobs in multiple vocations. The employer will be unsure about where your real desire lies and may not even contact you.
-
Use professional email addresses. Modern and trendy ones that are inappropriate do not sit well with employers.
-
Always maintain eye contact in the interview. This shows the employer that you are interested and confident in what they have to say.
-
Give yourself plenty of time to get to the interview. Research the location, do a test run if you have to. Getting there 15 minutes early is always better than 5 minutes late.
-
Make sure your referees speak highly of you. There is nothing worse than a bad reference from a recent employer.
-
Have your resume proof read before sending it to an employer. Spelling mistakes and grammatical errors will not help your cause.
-
Dress well at all times. Poor presentation gives the employer the impression that your work performance may also be poor.
-
Remember the interview starts before you walk in the door! Be prepared to be on show the minute you apply for the job.
-
Make sure in your interview that you have good reasons for wanting the job. Being vague or sketchy is not what employers want to hear.
-
If you are applying for a job, make sure you have voicemail on your phone. If an employer cannot contact you, then you may miss out!
-
Don't be late for an interview. An employer may think you will be late for work if you can't get to an interview on time!
-
Is your resume up to date?
-
Spelling and grammatical errors on your resume will lead to an instant rejection by the employer!
-
Don't forget to proof read your resume!
-
One word or two word answers in an interview won't get you across the line.
