TOP 20 TIPS


Invest in the relationship...


Build a rapport and loyalty with a consultant – they're more likely to go that extra mile on your behalf if they see you as a likeable and pleasant person.


..but if they don’t deliver, walk


Be realistic


If your consultant is not sending your details to the right companies, isn’t returning calls or isn’t meeting your agreed targets, then don’t be afraid to go elsewhere. With so many other companies out there, it's not worth the hassle chasing a consultant who never calls back.


Take feedback gracefully


If your consultant advises you on why you weren't selected for a job – listen to them! Moreover if you can learn from your mistakes so you're better prepared next time around it will have been a worthwhile process...and chances are you'll end up with a new job that's perfect for you.

No reputable company will ever promise to find you a job, especially straight away. They work on vacancies determined by their clients and if your profile doesn't fit the job requirements there's not a lot they can do in the short-term.


Thank them


It’s only two little words, so when you get the job, it pays to say “thank you” to your consultant. It’s polite and more to the point, you never know when you might want to call them again…

Put in the work!


Just because a consultant has got you in front of the employer, don’t think that the job is in the bag. The company will be interviewing other candidates, so prepare for the interview as you would in any other circumstance. You should know your CV, know the job description and visit the company’s outlets and website to prepare. Your consultant will have been briefed on exactly the type of person the company is looking for, so listen to any advice they give you beforehand in terms of what they will ask you, how to dress, etc. For more tips on interviews, scan the QR code below:
