We recently advertised for a part time role at our organisation, we are in growth mode and excited for the future and expanding our team.  We advertised through the usual channels and received well over 100 applications.

Now at this stage I ask you to remember that we are a company where one of our offerings is coaching people how to successfully find their next role or career move, so we are very critical, and we know what we’re doing.

We were literally shocked by what we saw in the applications!

Everything from spelling errors, to diatribes about what they want, to failure to customise their resume to suit the job, to poor layout, the list goes on and on.  With all the information available on the internet and even on our own website, surely you would think someone would put two and two together.

It’s so simple and important to make a great first impression and so important to you taking control of your career, why wouldn’t you put the effort into giving yourself the best chance.

If you’re serious about landing that new role and want to stand out from the other candidates speak to one of our career coaches today. Contact us here.
