It’s about preparation, focus, and knowing how to present yourself.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what makes our candidates stand out and how you can put yourself in the running for your next opportunity.
Get Clear on What You Want
The first step isn’t polishing your CV. It’s knowing what you want from your career. Candidates clear on their goals, strengths, and values excel in interviews and stand out to recruiters. Ask yourself:
- What type of company culture suits me best?
- What skills do I have that make me stand out?
Being intentional about your career path helps you focus your applications and makes it easier for recruiters to match you with the right roles.
Your CV and Online Profile Count
A strong CV is just the beginning. Today, recruiters often Google candidates before an interview, so your online presence LinkedIn, portfolios, even social media can make a big difference.
A few tips:
- Keep your LinkedIn profile up to date with achievements, not just job titles.
- Use numbers where possible results speak louder than responsibilities.
- Let a bit of your personality shine through, you’re more than just a list of jobs.
Networking Is Key
Networking isn’t just about asking for jobs, it’s about building genuine professional relationships. Many roles are filled before they’re even advertised. By connecting with peers, industry leaders, and recruiters, you’re putting yourself in the right place at the right time.
Preparation Makes the Difference
When people ask, “How did you get that job?”, a lot of it comes down to preparation. Research the company, understand their challenges, and show how your experience can help. Have real examples ready to demonstrate your skills. Nothing impresses more than evidence, not buzzwords.
