Rejection Rate

Being rejected by companies is disappointing and frustrating.

Reduce your rejection rate by applying for positions that fit your skills and experience. Don’t apply to be a head chef at a Michelin stared restaurant if you’ve got 6 months experience at a fast food outlet. We are all for ambition and career advancement but be realistic about the kind of jobs that you can and can’t do. You can waste a lot time and positive energy applying for jobs that you are unsuitable for.

Recruitment is a costly process meaning most recruiters will work to strict selection parameters, giving them little room to think as creatively as you

Your covering letter was impressive, your CV has aroused interest, and your consultancy has arranged you an interview for your perfect job...all you have to do is back up all that you have promised at the interview - unfortunately all of your hard work could be undone in a matter of seconds!

It is a commonly held belief that the opinions we form about
people are done so within a minute of meeting them, so this is a vital time in the interview and could determine whether you sink or swim.

So, first and foremost make sure you look and feel the part. Pride in your personal appearance will only have a positive effect on your confidence levels. Think about your introduction, and prepare to deliver it with confidence and with a smile – “hello………, it’s a pleasure meeting you” – is a safe bet.

Plan to arrive 10 minutes early, having to start an interview with “I’m so sorry for being late”, is to be avoided at all costs. Of course if you are running late through no fault of your own then let your interviewer know.

Making a positive “first impression” is essential and will set the scene for a positive interview experience BUT alone it won’t secure you the role…….we’ll come on to that.....
