Lest We Forget

Job interviews are naturally daunting, especially when you're up against competition. From my years in recruitment, talent and aptitude will always be high on the list, particularly with the lack of skilled Engineers. However, most clients would much rather have a good attitude and someone that they can work with. Here's how you can stand out:

- ✅ Research the Company: Go on their website (it's amazing the number of candidates who don't do this), know their values, culture, and the requirements of the job (ask your recruiter for a job description).
- ✅ Preparation for interview: What do I need to bring? Safety boots, Hi-Viz, Welding screen
- ✅ Get there early!
- ✅ Show Enthusiasm: Ask questions about the work that they are do or current projects that they are working on. Make it clear that this is the role that you want in the interview.
- ✅ Know Your Strengths: Understand what you bring to the table. Have clear examples of how you've used these skills in real-world scenarios.
- ✅ Highlight Soft Skills: One sweetener which has always gone down well is demonstrating your work. The best candidates have a portfolio of their work to show what they can do.

Small details and matter and these are the sort of incremental gains which secure a job. Prepare well and showcase how and why your are different.

Control what you can control!

Unemployment is on the rise again, and it's something we all need to be aware of. The latest figures from the ONS show a concerning trend: job vacancies are falling, and employers are increasingly cautious about hiring due to rising employment costs. This is particularly tough for SMEs, with 72% citing labour costs as their biggest pressure.

With the next budget on the horizon and the government looking at additional taxes to cover things like the Winter Fuel Allowance, can there be any positives at all?

How are you finding the current employment market?

What pressures are you facing?

Unemployment continues to edge up while job vacancies continue to fall. These are clear signs that employers are holding back on recruitment under the burden of soaring employment costs.
