Hints & tips from our recruiters.

Preparation is the key to success. Here’s the advice our consultants share with every candidate before they go to interview.

Part 1

Writing a great CV

As with interviews, the key to a great CV is preparation and organisation.

  • Structure your CV effectively and keep it simple — strengths and qualifications must come across immediately.
  • Focus on: Overview, Employment history (most recent first), Qualifications, Education, References.
  • Keep your CV to no more than two sides of A4.
  • Tailor it to the role — if it’s a sales position, centre the content around sales experience.
  • Use bullet points to convey information quickly and succinctly.
  • Be accurate and honest — give us the clearest possible picture of your skill set.
  • Note: all CVs must be submitted in English.
Part 2

Interview technique

If you’re being interviewed, it means an employer is interested in you. An interview is your opportunity to shine.

  • Research the sector and know the job you’re applying for.
  • Language ability is often central — be prepared to demonstrate it.
  • Be confident and show your enthusiasm for the role.
  • Ask questions — an interview is a two-way process.
  • Be prepared to submit all relevant supporting documents and certificates.
  • Give us feedback after every interview — it helps us help you.
  • Employers want the right blend of qualifications and personal qualities.
