Richard Denny shares 10 tips for securing your dream job:
Prepare a professional and honest CV - if you lie, you will be found out…
‘Gen‘ up on the employer prior to the interview, it’s easy to do via their website and it will be expected of you
Prepare and write your questions to ask at interview - it demonstrates the effort you have made in preparation for the interview, as well showcasing your organisational skills.
Selling yourself is showing interest in the other person and their company, not just talking about you.
Talk about what you can do for them rather than what they can do for you.
Always dress for the job you want not the job you have got.
Ask about training and personal development opportunities.
Make sure you meet the immediate line manager, the person you will report to - working within the right environment and with a team you ‘gel’ with is as i portant at the job itself.
Don’t ever take a job just for the money
Be enthusiastic - would you employ you?
