Securing a dream job

Richard Denny shares 10 tips for securing your dream job:

• Prepare a professional and honest CV - if you lie, you will be found out…
• ‘Gen‘ up on the employer prior to the interview, it’s easy to do via their website and it will be expected of you
• Prepare and write your questions to ask at interview - it demonstrates the effort you have made in preparation for the interview, as well showcasing your organisational skills.
• Selling yourself is showing interest in the other person and their company, not just talking about you.
• Talk about what you can do for them rather than what they can do for you.
• Always dress for the job you want not the job you have got.
• Ask about training and personal development opportunities.
• Make sure you meet the immediate line manager, the person you will report to - working within the right environment and with a team you ‘gel’ with is as i portant at the job itself.
• Don’t ever take a job just for the money
• Be enthusiastic - would you employ you?
