6 STEPS TO GETTING THE JOB!


Your CV is More Than Just Your Academic Record


Its most likely that one of the most common phrases you will hear as a graduate is that academic achievements alone cannot guarantee you a high-flying career. In fact, nothing can guarantee this type of success and it cannot be stressed enough that you need to fill out your CV with extra-curricular activities and work experience in order to demonstrate a number of valuable skills that prospective employers require.


The surprising fact is that a large percentage of students and graduates are ill-advised prior to both university and graduation and much more emphasis should be placed on aspects other than grades and qualifications. For example, have you ever had the experience of resolving an organisational issue or handled finances well? These small but meaningful skills which could be acquired in a part-time position or partaking in a society or a day spent volunteering, can all rack up and make you stand out from the crowd.


A Specialised Search is a More Successful One


We’ve all hit that point where we are fed up and frustrated with the ‘dream job’ search, often with rejection e-mails finding their way to us, or maybe no response at all. Time and again, the pent up frustration leads to one thing; blanket e-mails. This is you; the job hunter, sending out a generic CV and cover letter to just about every vacancy that pops up.
