Yes! After eons of depressing doom and gloom stories, UK Recruitment is on the rise! Says Rebecca Fuller of The Fuller CV. For juicy January, the leading Job Boards are advertising, wanting you! Jobsite’s TV advertising goes live in January, as does Reed on 6th January and TotalJobs campaign is hitting road, rail and tube users over the Festive Period. So to get the most from your “New Year, New Career”, take note of these top tips to secure your juicy job.
Job Title
Identify the right Job Title that truly reflects the job you should have and the matching salary. Add this to your online profile; put it in your CV summary etc. If your own job title is Cell Leader but in UK would be Team Leader – consider adding that title to your CV too.
Salary
Research this and be realistic. A 10% pay rise is what people aim for. Never drop your salary expectations by 30% or more, unless you have a very good reason for doing so! Wouldn’t you question the quality of someone suddenly available for half their worth?
Sector
Is your ideal role job function specific or industry specific, or could your skills be transferable? Expand your ideal sectors and highlight your transferable skills within your CV to open up opportunities.
Keywords
Like Google, you don’t get to see every website, just the ones that most specifically match your keywords. It’s the same with your CV, so add keywords so recruiters find your CV.
Get Shortlisted
Think ROI – Return on Investment. Ensure you cover letter conveys why you are worthy of the salary you are applying for, and how you will add value to the company.
Rebecca say’s, ‘I can add up myself, but I still use an accountant who is trained and has the knowledge and experience when it comes to making the most of my money. So if you’re looking to improve your job prospects in 2013 you should use a professional that can create your CV and offer other career services for higher salaries and faster job success.
With just 1% of your salary invested in Fuller CV, you can see an increase of up to 10-30% on your annual salary! ’
