June 18, 2011 -- The main problem that faces recruiters these days is sifting through the applications to find the stand out candidates. So what can you do to get noticed?
Well most people have a social networking profile either on Facebook, Twitter or both. You will probably not realise that a lot of employers now check the profiles of prospective employees to make sure there is nothing on there that would concern them. If you think there is anything on your social media pages that could get you in trouble such as photographs or comments then you might want to remove them or at least make your pages private until you have the job you want.
You should also get yourself a professional profile such as one from Linkedin where people who have met through a professional capacity can network. Having relevant professional connections through this kind of network can speak volumes about you. Many professional head hunters will find the candidates they are looking for by searching through these sites.
Make a point of finding ways to improve your CV and then tailor this CV every time you are going for a different role. A recruiter that reads a hundred CVs in a day or week will appreciate a tailored CV rather than a general account of your skills and experience.
It is extremely important to make sure you have attached a cover letter with your CV so don't forget to do this. This letter is where you get to really sell yourself and tell the reader why you are the right person for the role; if you are doing this then make sure you explain in full why you have the skills for the job.
Advertise a job means your organization has been doing really well currently and it's the perfect time to expand. Job posting must have the utmost care and attention when drafting it. At the end of the day you want to ensure you hire the best people. Visit our website for more information.
