Be Job Ready

When it comes to applying for a new job, a little bit of guidance is very essential. That's why we have put together, some useful hints and tips for preparing your CV (and Covering Letter), and how to prepare yourself for interview. There's an avalanche of information all over the places, but it will be of much benefit to your job search and Career start, if you can stick to the rules, and that is where our tips and advice comes handy.

Writing your CV

There are two types of CV:

  • Specific CV
  • Speculative CV

A CV is specific, if you know the exact position you are applying for, while a speculative CV is a CV you prepared without having an advertised postion readily. In another words, it is a generalized CV.

If you are Building a speculative CV, it is important to write a short note explaining the kind of positions that may interest you.

The following tips will help

Your CV must be well and cohesively structured

Ensure that you write about your achievements. Don't write about things you are not so good at - it might count against you.

Endeavour not to use the same CV for every job you apply for. Edit and refine the way it looks to suit the type of job you are applying for.

Check for common grammatical errors and spelling Mistakes.

Be concise. You don't have to leave things out, but it is very important for you to be brief and straight to the point. If possible, restrict it to not more than two pages.

Ensure your CV is easy to read and professional looking. Choose your words. Make them suiting but brief.

Avoid elaborate designs and artistic typesettings.

Never submit a photocopied CV (if you are required to submit or send a hard copy).

A cover letter is not a job application - it's a short and specific letter that should always accompany your CV to a prospective employer. It is the ideal opportunity for you to expand on the skills and experiences that are highlighted in your CV whilst also enabling you to express your personality.

You might be applying for a specific, advertised job or you might be marketing yourself for possible future work (speculative application). Either way, your cover letter aims to:

  • Introduce you
  • Highlight your key selling points (skills, experience or achievements)
  • Encourage the reader to discover more about you through your resume
  • Finish with a 'call to action', e.g., requesting an interview (if it's a specific job) or meeting (to discuss more general work prospects)

Just as it is with CV, there are two types of cover letter:

  • Response to an advert
  • Speculative

Response to an Advert

If a cover letter is in response to an advert, it is advisable to make sure that you actually match any essential criteria specified in the job advert before you send in your application. Also, be sure to read the advert very carefully so that you can address the letter correctly and mark it for the attention of the designated member of staff. You should also include the title of the job you are applying for and any reference numbers given; this means addressing your letter to a real person (not 'To Whom It May Concern') and for a specific job.

When writing your cover letter, mention where you saw the advert and on what date. The letter should then go on to highlight your skills and experience in more detail. If certain criteria are mentioned in the advert, you should ideally try to explain exactly how you match these.

Lastly, end the letter with any other information requested in the advert such as salary range and availability for interview.

Speculative

Even if you are speculating a job, you must still try to address the letter to a specific person rather than addressing it to an open recipient or 'To Whom It May Concern'. This means a bit of extra work. You may need to call an organisation and find out how you need to address your letter.

Spend some time researching a company (using the internet is often the easiest way to do this) so that you can make your letter relevant to a specific job or a particular company.

In Conclusion...

In conclusion, it is important for you to show that you are enthusiastic and have a positive attitude towards the role and the hiring company.

You need to demonstrate to a potential employer that you understand the job requirements and can do the job. So include the skills and experiences you have that match the job description.

Now that you've submitted your job application and it's done its job - you've been asked to attend a job interview, the next best thing to do is to start preparing yourself for that hard-earned interview.

The interview is your chance to present the evidence of your ability to do the job. Preparing for the interview will ensure you make the most of this opportunity. This section has tips and advice on how to prepare for interviews, how to behave when attending an interview, and some suggestions about the kinds of questions you might get asked.

Do Your Findings

Learn as much as you can about the company and its reputation - it will be easy to research big companies but may be harder if it's a small business.

Start with their website, read their annual reports, read about them in the press, and if possible, speak to others who either work there or know the company quite well. Know:

  • The size of the company
  • The products and/or services it offers
  • The target market
  • The workplace culture

How Do You Intend to Present Your Skills and Abilities?

Identify your key strengths and think of examples of how you can demonstrate that you have the right skills to successfully do the job. The interviewer may also ask you about your weaknesses.

Try to anticipate the questions they will ask. Think about any awkward points that might be picked up, and how you will handle them. Think of ways you can answer these questions in a positive way - answer with a weakness that doesn't relate to the role you've applied for or state how you're currently working to improve a weakness.

If an interviewer ever addresses a gap in your skills or knowledge, express your willingness to learn.

What to Wear

What you wear depends entirely on the type of job and company. If you're unsure, it's best to dress conservatively in a dark suit, and always ensure you're well groomed. Avoid:

  • Dirty, stained, or torn clothing
  • Overpowering perfume or aftershave
  • Noisy jewellery
  • Loud ties or shirts
  • Sheer fabrics and low-cut blouses
  • Bringing large and bulky or numerous bags
  • Anything else that's going to distract

Lastly...

It is advisable that you create a good impression on your interviewer. You can do so by:

  • Endeavouring to ask the interviewer some questions. This creates an impression that you are highly interested in the role and in the company.
  • Never arriving late for an interview. Find out how to get to the interview and how long it will take beforehand. You should plan to arrive at least 10 or 15 minutes early.

    Searching for my first job, I was frustrated at lack of invitations for interview after submitting my CV to almost all the Companies in the UK. A friend introduced me to your company, and that was it. I almost couldn't believe my eyes when I received my CV from you. I am very pleased with the layout and wording. You have worded the job descriptions accurately and concisely in a way I would not have been able to. I'm now gainfully employed. Thanks for your advice throughout".
