CV Remodelling A professionally written CV
can enhance your chances of being short listed
for interview. To achieve this goal one of our
industry specific consultants will call you at
a pre-arranged time for a telephone interview
that will last up to an hour. During this session
we will seek to obtain from you as much information
as possible that will allow us to create your
ideal CV. This will not only be about your accomplishments
to date but also about your career aspirations
and hopes so that we can accurately reflect your
personality and the contribution that you can
make to your prospective employer. You will also
have an opportunity to engage with your consultant
so as to ascertain their understanding of the
industry sector that you are targeting. The consultant
will then re-model your CV to fit with the industry
and the role while accurately reflecting your
accomplishments and hopes.
Interview
Support Interviews are like most things in life - the more one practises the better one gets! Many
of the consultants at Accendo are experienced employers
with extensive multi-industry and interviewing experience.
We can help you to excel at your interview by coaching
you with your answers and by helping you to relax
into the interview situation. Telephone interviews
also now play a significant part in the early selection
process. The interview is a sales opportunity
and your ability to sell yourself without either
over or under playing your hand is crucial.
Cover
Letters There are situations where a cover letter
is useful, but in the main, most CV submissions are
transmitted electronically. A covering email is
much more likely to be read than a
wordy letter that basically covers the ground that
a good CV should. It is still, however, a much-neglected
activity, and a simple but well-crafted email can
enhance your chances. There are still circumstances
where candidates are required to submit written
applications and in these situations a great deal
of attention should be paid to this item. A letter
can also be used if you are seeking to send a
resume to recruitment firms or employers in the
hope that they might have opportunities suited to
your skills and experience.
Job
Search Tool Kit Our Job Search Tool Kit is for
individuals who understand their objective but need
to improve their job search techniques. This programme
is about a structured process of finding job opportunities.
It helps you approach the market and conduct a search
for roles, and includes identifying adverts in the
printed press (both national and trade), the
use of on-line job boards and unadvertised jobs.
The coaching will give you an appreciation that
you must tackle the search for a job like a job!
By that we mean in a systematic way, with significant
effort applied to it. The job market in itself is
unstructured, so you will need several techniques
to improve your hunting skills.
