Professionals in Edinburgh city centre last week took advantage of a break in the rain, and enjoyed participating in a giant ìSnakes & Laddersî game ñ hosted by eFinancialCareers.com (www.efinancialcareers.com) the UK-based global financial recruitment website ñ in bright sunshine in the cityís Festival Square on Thursday 5th July.
The game was based on real-life employment scenarios, where participants climbed the ladder and received additional boosts when they benefited from:
- Valuable knowledge from industry experts;
- Applying for jobs quickly and easily online;
- regular updates and alerts on the job marketplace;
- being found by head-hunters due to posting a CV on eFinancialCareers.com.
On the other hand, pitfalls included:
- overindulging at corporate events;
- falling asleep in important meetings;
- and CV failing to be short-listed due to errors
- resigning in a huff after receiving a tiny bonus.
The event was a lighthearted look at making the most of online recruitment opportunities, and saw around 200 finance professionals taking part in the rare Edinburgh sunshine throughout the day.
eFinancialCareers Scotland was launched in January 2006 and has grown to be the countryís prime job board for banking and financial specialists, featuring opportunities in over 30 specialised sectors of the industry from a range of top tier banks, insurance companies and boutique financial firms.
