We receive applications from candidates every day, we speak with candidates every day, we interview candidates every day, and it never seems to amaze us, no matter what level of seniority of candidate, there is often a lack of preparation, interaction, awareness and commitment to the process. There is a direct correlation between degree of preparedness an applicant demonstrates and their level of enthusiasm for a particular position. If you’re attending for an interview some homework goes a long way! So here are a few tips to help along the way…. The interview/evaluation process commences as soon as any form of contact is received. That can be how you engage with our team, how you present yourself, your Resume, punctuality, follow up, and overall engagement and attitude. When it comes down to decision making time, and a client has two excellent candidates that can equally do the job and have equal remuneration expectations, who equally fit the culture, the decision will come down to the candidate who has the attitude and passion to succeed at the company, as opposed to the one who is just looking for the next job.
Rebecca Laurence delivers! I interviewed with her and within 2 weeks I had been placed in front of two clients, one of which turned in to an offer. I found Rebecca’s no fuss, straight line approach a refreshing change. This, coupled with her ability to culturally match personalities to companies, I believe makes her a rare and valuable asset to both clients and applicants.
