In this episode, I’m delighted to interview an industry expert, Tony Fernandez Commercial Manager of Gempool, about recruitment Agencies – what they do (and don’t do) for you, how to distinguish the best from the rest, and why employers use them.

Episode 4

This week, I’d like to talk to you about preparing for interview. So great – your cover and cv have gotten you time with the employer. Now it’s time to capitalise.

Episode 3

This week, I’d like to talk to you about cover letters and notes. So from the previous episode, you have a strong CV, and now you want to get it under the nose of the right person.

Episode 2

In this episode I discuss how  to leverage Social Media in your search. As LinkedIn is the most popular professional networking tool, this episode is very LinkedIn-centric, but the principals are the same regardless of the tool you use (build a strong online presence, then reach out to others in a professional way to bring attention to yourself).

I hope you find it useful.
