Prepare your maintenance kit

What is a maintenance kit? That's all you need for a job interview - clothes, shoes, spare CVs and something to carry your stuff. If you receive a call for an in-person interview, the last thing you want is to find out that your attire is neglected and that you do not have time to have it cleaned at the dry cleaners. If you have these few things together, when you receive the call for an interview, you don't need to stress yourself out for the little things. You will be ready to focus on the questions and show off your best.

5 tips for talking to recruiters on the phone

Before you get the job of your dreams you are looking for, you may find that you need to speak to a large number of recruiters and interviewers over the phone. Some applicants may be nervous about talking to recruiters over the phone and often have not taken the time to think about how to make a good first impression. The way to interact positively with a recruiter is your chance to stand out from the crowd to move forward in the hiring process for a face to face interview, and spark a winning conversation for all. You can advance your career and take advantage of new opportunities by standing out in the crowd.

Five steps to follow when looking for a job on social media

Social media is more popular than it has ever been with the billions of people who connect online. When it comes to your job search, it can be a valuable tool, but it can also destroy your chances of getting a job. If you are looking for a job, you should know what comes up when you are looking for your own name. Search for your name with your city. Search for your name with your job title, industry and previous employers. Search your email address and usernames that are linked to your real name. LinkedIn is the most important social network for your job search, but depending on your industry, other social networks like Instagram, Facebook and even Snapchat can be valuable tools.

Simple job search tips that are often overlooked

The industry has long gone from sending resumes by mail to the world dominated by LinkedIn, which is to get known professionally. Finding a job can be a daunting process, especially if you haven't had to do it for a long time. There is not just one way to do your job search. In fact, there should never be one way to do it. Of course, there are more effective ways to seek employment than others, but the key to being effective is to mix methods. As with investing, you should always diversify your strategies.

Five grammar mistakes to avoid on your CV

Even if you are applying for jobs where writing is not an integral part of the job description, spelling and grammar mistakes, typos and other writing errors can have an impact on the person reading your CV. While most hiring managers will only give you a brief overview of the thousands of resumes they receive for a vacant position, you still cannot afford to be careless. Make sure you avoid common mistakes and re-read your resume completely before sending it.
