People Advisor - Fixed Term

Learning the skills needed to land a new job is often just as crucial as learning how to excel in your potential career. Whether it&rsquo;s mastering the art of networking, acing job applications, or crafting a killer CV, there&rsquo;s always something candidates can be doing to make sure they&rsquo;re completely prepared. But, perhaps almost everyone&rsquo;s achilles heel in pursuit of the perfect role is nailing the most nerve-wracking aspect of the job hunt itself: the dreaded interview.
&nbsp;
Navigating interviews, especially in a new field, can be tough and practice and preparation are crucial steps you can take to make sure you ace that interview. But what if you don&rsquo;t have anyone with whom you can practice common interview questions? Let us introduce to you, Google&rsquo;s Interview Warm-up. The tech giant has teamed up with job seekers to create a this nifty little tool, designed to help you practice responding to questions handpicked by industry pros.
&nbsp;
But how does it actually work?
Using clever machine learning, it transcribes your answers and provides insights on how to level up your responses. We know prepping for interviews always requires effort, but Google&rsquo;s aim is to make it a tad easier so candidates feel more self-assured and at ease while acing their interviews.
&nbsp;
With Interview Warmup, your answers are instantly written down so you can check what you said. As an added bonus, you get insights &ndash; tips from smart tech that can help you uncover details about your answers, like the job-related words you use regularly and your main talking points such as your experience, skills, and goals. And although it was designed with Google Career Certificates students in mind, it's open to everyone and includes general questions suitable for various fields. It even shows how much time you spend discussing each topic in your response. And the best part? Your answers aren't graded or judged, and you can practice as many times as you like. It's like your own private practice arena!
&nbsp;
Why not give Interview Warm-Up a shot? It could be just the ticket to levelling up your interview prep.
&nbsp;

Elevate your interview skills: Google's Interview Warm-Up

We often talk about job seekers sharpening their skills for the big interview, but hold up &ndash; what about the folks on the other side of the table? That&rsquo;s right, we're shining a light on why it's absolutely crucial for hiring managers to rock the art of interviewing. And whilst it might be a skill anyone can learn, we want to let you know all about Google&rsquo;s Interview Warm-up programme, a handy resource that can significantly elevate your hiring prowess.
&nbsp;
Whilst it's aimed at job seekers &ndash; we happen to think hiring managers can benefit from it too. Let&rsquo;s have a look at why it could be a game-changer for your business.
&nbsp;
Crafting questions is trickier than it appears.
It can be a stressful task to craft interview questions &ndash; even for the most experienced recruiters. Google pooled together a range of questions covering different topics that you might consider adding to your question bank.
&nbsp;
Of course, certain companies follow a rigid interview structure with predetermined questions and if your company has a set plan, it's best to stick to it. However, if that's not the case, they could be a beneficial kickstart for you, or they might even offer a bit of inspo to jazz up your current questions.
&nbsp;
It's a handy tool to evaluate candidate responses.
When a candidate tackles a question, Interview Warmup gives a simple rundown to show if they&rsquo;re hitting the key points or going round in circles. It can also can suggest topics for discussion to give candidates fresh ideas if their mind has gone blank (we&rsquo;ve all been there, right?!)
&nbsp;
This in turn can benefit recruiters and hiring managers, because knowing what you're looking for helps you help the candidate. Keep in mind, if someone doesn't stand out at interview, it doesn't mean they won't excel in the role. You can guide them to give you the answers you need to figure out if they can really handle the job.
&nbsp;
It doesn&rsquo;t replace actual practice or real advice from the pros
Bear this in mind &ndash; whilst it&rsquo;s a handy little tool, and can assist both candidates and hiring managers in getting ready for an interview, it's not the whole shebang for honing your interview skills. That said, it's a great starting point&mdash;especially if it's been a while since you've done an interview. Why not check it out?

But fear not, we're here to help you put your best foot forward in the professional job market. Potential employers develop a first impression based on your CV, so read on for some insider tips to make it really stand out.
&nbsp;
1. Keep it clean and organised
Your CV should be easy to navigate so use clear headings and bullet points to ensure hiring managers can read through it quickly. Remember, recruiters often skim through a stack of CVs, so help them find the information they need quickly.
&nbsp;
2. Start with a powerful summary
Your CV should begin with a compelling summary statement. This is your elevator pitch, your chance to grab their attention. Highlight your key achievements, skills, and what sets you apart from the crowd.
&nbsp;
3. Tailor your CV for each job
One size doesn't fit all. Make sure you customise your CV for each job application by aligning your qualifications and experience with the specific requirements of the role. This shows that you've done your homework and are genuinely interested in the position.
&nbsp;
4. Showcase achievements, not just duties
Don't just list your job responsibilities. Instead, focus on your accomplishments and the impact you've made in previous roles. Quantify your achievements with numbers, percentages, or any relevant metrics.
&nbsp;
5. Highlight your transferable skills
In addition to job-specific skills, emphasise your transferable skills like communication, problem-solving, teamwork, and adaptability. These are highly valued by employers across various industries.
&nbsp;
6. Education and certifications
List your educational background and any relevant certifications. Highlight academic achievements, accomplishments, or awards, especially if you're a recent graduate.
&nbsp;
7. Be honest and accurate
Employers value integrity and trustworthiness so don't exaggerate your attainments or qualifications. It might seem like a shortcut to landing your dream job, but during the interview you'll need to back it up. Let your unique experiences and achievements shine through in an honest way, and you&rsquo;ll find the right fit for you.
&nbsp;
8. Keep it concise
While you want to showcase your skills and experiences, be concise. Aim for a two-page CV, particularly if you're early in your career. But this is just a guide; if you&rsquo;ve got an extensive career history don&rsquo;t use a tiny font size to cram it all in! Hiring managers are often drowning in CVs, and they appreciate a clear document that gets to the point. Achieve this and you&rsquo;ll be sure to stand out in the crowd.
&nbsp;
9. Use action verbs
Want to make your accomplishments pop? Start bullet points with action verbs to convey a sense of impact and give a clear picture of what you&rsquo;ve actually done. Words like "achieved," "implemented," "led," or "increased" are effective.
&nbsp;
10. Proofread thoroughly
Before you hit send, do yourself a favour and proofread your CV multiple times - a polished CV shows attention to detail and professionalism. If possible, ask a friend or family member to give it a once-over. Fresh eyes can catch mistakes you might overlook.
&nbsp;
11. Include relevant keywords
Many organisations use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to filter and screen CVs. So, if you want your CV to make it to the recruiter's desk, match the language from the job posting, including relevant keywords from the job description. It&rsquo;s like speaking their lingo and will tell the hiring manager that you&rsquo;re a strong match for the position.
&nbsp;
12. Add a Personal Touch
Don&rsquo;t forget to add some personality into your CV. Whilst it might be a professional document, adding a personal touch like details of your hobbies or interests can help break the ice in interviews and connects you with potential employers on a human level.
&nbsp;
Remember, your CV is a living document so regularly update it as you gain new skills and experiences. The key is to make it a true reflection of your professional journey. And now that you&rsquo;re equipped with our top tips, you can confidently create your standout CV in your quest to land that perfect role! And if you ever need assistance, we&rsquo;re here to support you in your job search journey. Good luck!
