Mother Knows Best… No, Recruiter Knows Best

Back to Blogs

We all turn to our parents regularly for advice whether it’s for cooking/DIY/car tips or health advice. And in general the saying “Mother knows best” rings true but the one area I’d advise you to be wary of parental advice is when it comes to your career. Why you may ask? Well, job searching nowadays is a completely different ballgame compared to when your parents were on the job hunting scene. These days you not only have to do up your CV, you now have online job applications to fill out, psychometric assessments to complete, an online brand to build across social media platforms and multiple career fairs/networking events to attend. It’s a whirlwind of activity that you’re trying to keep on top of, so who do you to turn to for a helping hand?..

 

It’s natural to ask everyone you know for help and advice regarding interviews and job hunting but often you can get bombarded with conflicting opinions and are left wondering who’s right and who’s leading you down the garden path. Surprisingly, many jobseekers are unaware of the benefits of using a recruitment agency yet (not just saying this because I work for a recruitment agency) we genuinely can help you.

 

Each employer you meet is different and has different ideals of what they’re looking for in a candidate so what worked for one of your friends may not necessarily work for you. At the end of the day, the only opinion that counts is that of your potential next employer and that’s where we come in!
