If interview questions like “Can you give me an example of a time when…?” make your mind go blank - Use the CARL method to structure your answer clearly and confidently:

C – Context – What was happening?
A – Action – What did you do?
R – Result – What happened?
L – Learning – What did you learn?

Example:
A difficult customer calls about a delayed delivery.
I stayed calm, listened, apologised and arranged next-day delivery.
They left positive feedback.
I learned the importance of staying calm and taking ownership.

If you’ve got an interview coming up and want help preparing properly, message me today. 😊

What is ATS?

Many employers now use ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) to screen CVs before a recruiter / hiring manager even sees them!

If your CV isn’t clearly laid out, uses complex formatting, or doesn’t highlight the right skills, it can be rejected before a human ever reads it.

A well-written CV helps your application get through the system, makes your experience easier to spot, and improves your chances of getting an interview.

If you’re applying for roles and not getting responses, your CV could be the reason.

Message me if you’d like help making sure your CV really works for you.

Are you getting nowhere when applying for jobs?

Firstly you need to ensure your CV looks clear and professional with a punchy articulate profile that clearly highlights who you are, your skills and ambitions.

Also you need to ensure the roles you are applying for match up to the skills on your CV. Read job adverts / descriptions carefully and adapt your cv to reflect how your strengths match what the hiring managers are looking for. This is especially important now that AI is used to scan matches / wording on CVs before a human has often had the chance to read it!

Check that your profile page on the job boards has your polished and most recent cv on, to be searched for by hiring managers / recruiters and check the salary bracket is your current salary and it’s set to the correct location!

Send me a message if you’d like to enquire about how I can help you with your CV and get it to really stand out to the people who are hiring!

Fees are highly competitive and turnaround is usually 24/48hrs after we’ve had a phone call about what you’re looking to achieve in your career.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Do you know that in order for recruiters to find your CV quickly and contact you about opportunities- they search on relevant terms and skills, your CV should reflect the skills needed in the positions you are open to.

Another tip! Login to job boards ( Reed, CV Lib, indeed etc) weekly to keep you at the top of the search lists! If you have been active in the last week or so, you are appealing to recruiters! They know you’re active and more likely to engage!

I see a lot of people suggesting you could use chat gpt to ‘write’ your CV.

Whilst it can be of use if you are struggling with the odd sentence and it’s good for grammar and spellcheck - here’s why using a professional with years of experience hiring people will help!

A hiring manager / recruiter will be looking for personality as well as skillsets and using AI your CV can appear stale and generic. You need your CV to be unique and stand out!

During an interview a hiring manager will often dissect your CV and delve into your background, you need to be confident that you know exactly what is written and why, moreover that you are able to provide real life examples of these behaviours/ skills. Not so easy when it’s AI generated but talking to a professional who asks those questions before building your CV means the wording is a genuine reflection of you!

Some businesses use software to detect where AI is used in a CV and you could get discounted before your CV is seen by a hiring manager!

Just some food for thought!

Bye for now
