The Top Six Ways To Improve Your Employability

When faced with the prospect of looking for a new job there are certain things that you can do to make it more likely that you will find your ideal role.

Make sure you up skill as often as possible. This applies whether you are a recent graduate or somebody who has twenty years of experience under their belt. You should aim to learn something new each year, this can be done through reading books, attending conferences or embarking on part time courses.

Make sure you develop your own attitude, recruiters will assess your skills and work experience but it is also your personality that is important, if you come across as being polite and courteous then you are more likely to impress the person interviewing you.

Be sure to make the time to groom your CV and make sure your personal appearance says business. Looking professional and being presentable is extremely important as first opinions can make or break.

Always make sure your online presence is professional and all personal social media accounts are set to private. It is also a good idea to make sure all pictures of you are fairly professional, i.e no shots of you in swimwear or under the influence of alcohol.

Try to build up your network of contacts as the more you have the more opportunities will open up to you. Having lots of business contacts looks good and increases your profile at the same time.

Try to do as much research as possible on the company you are applying for. Refer to company facts and figures throughout your interview in order to make a good impression. Familiarising yourself with the company structure is always wise.

If you aim to follow each of these tips then you will find that your job prospects will improve.
