Our team of expert advisors spend hours with our candidates assisting them with career management, CV preparation and interview technique.  Here are a few of our favourite tips:

CV Preparation

• Don't just present your skills and experience, make sure that you emphasise your acheivements and problem solving skills
• Use facts and figures where possible to evidence your acheivements and the quality of your experience
• Where possible, use examples and case studies rather than dry functional descriptions
• It is usually best to try and keep your CV to one or two pages of A4
• Information should be well organised and presented in reverse chronological order
• Do not include your age or date of birth

Interview Advice

• Before the interview find out everything you can about the firm, the interviewer and the job description
• Visit the firm's website, read its annual report, and plan your journey to the interview
• Look at your CV and ask yourself:  "what would I ask if I were the interviewer?"
• Prepare to ask the interviewer some of your own questions
• Dress in a conservative and traditional manner
• Talk slowly and deeply - important people don't need to rush!
• Communicate your enthusiasm in everything that you do: the tone of your voice, your body language and your questions
