Cover Letter/No Cover Letter is a question asked so often and it’s so great to hear the various positions of our employers. Thanks Jason John for connecting with recruiters to share this insight.

Mock Inteviews 👩🏼💼👨🏻💼 Today I am back with Manor & Castle Development trust for 1-1 employability sessions with 6 candidates who are actively seeking employment. During the session we take a look at CV’s for any improvements & then have a mock interview with feedback provided! I absolutely love working with Manor & Castle and their service users. Being able to prepare people for employment & improve their employability skills is a huge benefit to each of them when applying for vacancies! Kerri W.

This is such a great idea. As People professionals, we know our candidates are stressed when interviewing - anything that can reduce that stress helps me as an employer to hear our candidates's strengths, skills & experiences. As a recent job seeker, I spent many an hour at North York Library doing research. I noticed dozens of job seekers each day working through postings and sending our resumes. I have seen & heard people in the North York Library do interviews from desks & tables - I did successful phone interviews from those spaces myself. But, a video interview isn't going to be as successful from those desks & tables simply because the potential for distraction is just too high. Giving people a chance to succeed through a virtual space is such a boon to the community - this asset helps the job seeker and the employers. Thanks to whomever considered this idea and to the TPL for its implementation.

What is the purpose of a resume if you STILL have too fill out the employment and education portion on the application. That is redundant, and it makes some people not even want too fill out the job application, why do you need both if they have the same information on them.

Attended the 'Non UK Students - Getting a Graduate Job in the UK' webinar hosted by Bournemouth University career team. Key Takeaways:- *How to tailor the CV and Cover letter for jobs *Employers are not just looking for educational qualification but also soft and transferrable skills *How to connect with Employers professionally during an event *Making connections on LinkedIn

answering advertisements for vacancies: there is only one chance to apply, and it needs to be as good as you can make it because you will be in competition with very other applicant. make sure your CV for each application reflects what is needed in the job. customize each letter

Keep It Brief Don't dwell on the gap in your employment. Keep your explanation brief and to the point, and then move on to discussing your qualifications and experience. #cvwriting #cvtips #careerdevelopment #learninganddevelopment #interviewadvice #riserecruitingagency #riseup #recruitmentagency

Next Wednesday I will once again speak at CBS Careers Seminar: "Target your CV and improve your cover letter" and I'm looking very much forward to it - meeting students and graduates is always so inspiring! This year it was sold out more than a week before the event, so I guess I did something right last year 😎 (or maybe it was the flødeboller and merch - a reason I can definitely embrace 😄) #wearehiring #abacusmedicine #CBScareers
