Applying for a job – Be professional!

Being professional in your search for employment will certainly give you a competitive edge. Both phone screening and interview situations call for a professional attitude, no matter what environment you are in.

Speak clearly and concisely
Try not to use slang and be enthusiastic when you speak.

Keep a professional attitude
We know you may be a little nervous but try not to giggle during or at the end of sentences.

Be well groomed
Make sure you are well dressed and well groomed for interviews.

Communication
Ensure you are using a professional email address with includes your name where possible. Your mobile phone message should also be professional. Rerecord your phone message and don’t use any “fun greetings”. It may be funny and trendy for your friends, but potential employers may make incorrect assumptions about your character based on the type of greeting you use.
