CV tips
Written by Administrator Friday, 27 January 2012 09:54
We noticed an interesting article in this week's Metro (Wednesday 25th January) stated that interviews will be decided after potential employers read "two thirds of your CV's first page". This is definitely something to bear in mind when beginning to compile your CV, and some helpful tips Metro mention to get yourself noticed are:
- Begin with your strong personality aspects
- Mention what you are good at and what you've done well
- Sound fresh and full of evidence of applied learning and achievements
- Don't include too many clichés
- Outline past experience, skills and knowledge
- Make it clear the kind of role you'd like in the future
- Tailor your CV to the role you're applying for
- Use a simple layout and don't over-complicate
John Lees, the author of The Interview Expert, goes on to say that you should lead each bullet point with an active verb such as 'led' or 'organised' to show off your key skills and strengths, which is also great advice.
We have so many great roles at the moment, so it's crucial your CV stands out from the crowd, and the best CVs always lead to the best jobs!!

Searching for a role...?
Written by Administrator Wednesday, 11 January 2012 14:01
Just when you thought finding a job couldn't get tougher it seems some employers are making their candidates jump through some pretty extraordinary hoops. In last night's Evening Standard ("The Point of these wacky jobseeker tests? Search me" p39) Google's alarming and quite frankly puzzling questioning strategy was exposed. To be prepared for an interview with the largest and fastest growing Internet company in the world you'll need to know what Superhero you'd be, what animal you are and perhaps most puzzling of all what to do if you shrunk in size and got thrown into a blender!!!
To get a job with any company you have to show you fully understand their culture and the type of employee they are looking for. Don't be too clever but do be prepared and do be creative as you need to stand out from the crowd.
At Pulse we have a team of very experienced consultants who can help you through the whole process of finding your dream job from helping structure your CV, interviewing techniques and preparation for the actual interview in order to maximise your chance of success.
We currently have so many fantastic opportunities in some of London’s most exciting companies which include Advertising, Television, Film, PR, Design, Digital and Luxury Brands. If you are currently looking for a new role, please contact us immediately and together we can find your dream job!
