Lockdown getting you down about finding a new job?

Been made redundant, seeking a new challenge, on the job market?

In these unprecedented times, they are many questions being asked about finding a job in the current market and many concerns about the market itself.

Utilise our top tips in these current times:
Update your CV as much as possible including if you have been volunteering/temping etc.

There are jobs out there so do not ‘panic apply’ for anything and everything 

Keep your applications relevant

Apply for jobs you can do not just what you want to do

Take temp opportunities, they could provide you with a ‘foot in the door opportunity’

This could be an opportunity to demonstrate your skills and work ethos directly to an employer, which can often lead to a permanent offer

You could also be one of the first to know if a vacancy arises in the company you are temping with – internal vacancies are usually well advertised and visible for current staff to apply to 

Apply to companies directly through their websites – you may see other opportunities, not on job boards

Apply generically to companies you would like to work for but do your research prior to sending your CV.

Write a strong covering letter to support your application

Follow up on applications where possible

Be flexible in regards to processes i.e. video interviewing

Persevere!!! Do not give up, there are opportunities potentially just around the corner for you!!

If you would like further help and support in finding a job in the current market then please do get in contact and we will help and advise where possible.
Good luck with your applications!!!!
