When you are looking for a new career path, you can feel very vulnerable, especially if you are coming out of a difficult situation. Perhaps you had an experience that depleted your confidence because of an unexpected lay off. Or, it could be that you have felt stuck for a long time, but you don’t know where to start to change your path. This is where getting the right recruitment firm is so important. When you begin the job search, help yourself by getting support, knowledge, and advice from a talented recruiter.
The Right Resume. You may need a few different versions of your resume and certainly your cover letter for various positions. You want to highlight the strengths you have that match the positions you are applying for during your search.
Fashion Police. Depending on the interview, you may want to go extremely dressy or a little more casual. Your recruiter can help you evaluate your interviewing wardrobe and offer advice about what to wear to match the job.
Prepping and Practice. Knowing how to answer potential questions during an interview and practicing your answers will make you feel confident as you walk into a job interview. You don’t want to sound rehearsed, but you do want to sound like you know what you are talking about. Having talking points in your mind makes it far easier to answer potential questions that may come your way.
Leading the Way. You might look at job openings online or in the newspaper and skim right past them, not thinking you are the right candidate. Pushing you to consider all the options is important—sometimes you never know what might be a perfect fit for you!
Looking for a career change can be a scary prospect, but it should be exciting and even fun. At Elite, we want to empower you throughout your job search and offer you keys to success that you can use far into your future.
