Resigning the correct way
Your employer may be be called upon in the future, possibly for a reference or should your career take you back to them in the future, so be careful how you go about handing in your resignation. Here are our top tips to do it the correct way. Keep it friendly Do not use your notice letter to air your grievances about the role or the company. This isn’t a time to cause a stir – if you wouldn’t say in the role do not mention it now. Understand your fellow employees may have different views about their roles and the company; try not to force your views on to them. Your career may be taking a different path but do not knock others. Be sure you want to leave Using your resignation to prompt a counter offer is a very dangerous tactic. Be very aware that the company many not wish to, or be in a position to make you an offer too good for you to refuse – so be fully prepared to follow through on your resignation. Some employers might see your job hunt as a lack of loyalty and are prepared to see your talents go. Tell your manager first Offices talk, so telling co-workers about a new job offer before you have told your line manager is a big mistake. Firstly, going into the conversation without them knowing gives you more control over the conversation, but further it helps to maintain your professional image. Leave on good terms It's important to try and leave on as friendly terms as possible, as it's likely you'll require a reference from there for your next role. It goes a long way when you thank your collegues and boss for their time, support and guidance too.

5 Tips for a Skype Interview
With a new era of interviewing here, please see the below our top tips for skype interview! 1. Know Where to Look One of the most difficult things about a Zoom or Skype video conference call interview is knowing where to look. If you look at the person you are talking to then the camera doesn’t capture your eye contact for them. If you look into the camera then you don’t get to see the body language or facial reactions of the interviewer. 2. Set up a Professional Background The goal of all interviewers is to find a reason to cut you from consideration. Don’t let what the interviewer sees in the background cause them to not see your skills and talents. If you will be doing the interview from your home office make sure the wall or bookshelf they will see behind you is decorated appropriately. 3. Dress for Success The old adage dress for the job you want applies to video and Skype interviews too. Sure, no one will know if you are wearing pajama or yoga pants on the bottom. But we strongly encourage you to dress professionally during Zoom interviews the same as you would if you were meeting at someone’s office. 4. Ask the Interviewer These Questions Just because you are the one being interviewed doesn’t mean you can’t ask questions too. Ask relevant questions to show the person conducting the interview that you took the time to do your pre-interview research. Part of an interview is to determine how well you would be able to work with each other and their existing team. Show the person on the other side of the camera your virtual conversation skills. If you need anyfurther advice please do not hesitiate to contact one of our team today!

How to stay positive during a Job Search!
When you've been on the job hunt for a while, every rejection can feel a bit crushing. Hearing nothing at all can create just as much job-search frustration, especially when you've gone to great lengths to tailor your applications to each position. Set measurable goals Setting small, measurable goals will help you stay motivated in your job search even when things aren't moving as quickly as you'd like. You can set daily or weekly goals, but make sure they are specific so you can track your progress. These goals can help you avoid frustration by keeping you on track and helping you feel productive. For instance, you could create a list of companies you'd like to work for and then make it your goal to research and apply for one new position each day. Or if you're interested in expanding your network, you could make it a goal to connect with one new person in your industry each week. Focus on the things you can control When searching for a new job, there will inevitably be some things that you have no control over, such as the job market, economy, industry trends, or even your location. To keep up your job-search motivation, try to subdue your stress about the things you can't influence and instead focus on what you can do to improve your situation. Make a list of your achievements If you're experiencing job-search frustration or feeling down about your current situation, reminding yourself of all the things you've learned and accomplished in your career can give you a boost of confidence. Start putting together a list of all your major career achievements, from specific problems you solved at work to major projects you assisted with. As an added bonus, having all your professional achievements lined up can also make it easier to include your most impressive work experience on your resume and discuss your career highlights in job interviews. If you are looking for some help with your next career move, get in contact with us today!

Things to consider when looking for a Job
Understanding your goals and motivations for changing jobs can help to create a stronger more focused job search, that ultimately makes the process easier. Changing jobs can have a huge impact on your lifestyle, so it is important to make the move a good one. Understanding what you want to achieve gives you more chance of securing a positive move. Understanding why you want to change Why do you want to leave your current role? It is easy to get caught up in office politics and to fall into a downward spiral of disliking your job. But what is it that you really don’t like – and what are the chances of these changing in a new role? Can you get what you are looking for from your current employer? It’s often possible to achieve your goals with your current employer but if they are not aware of these, you can get pushed aside. Asking for an increase in salary might be a difficult conversation to have, however if you can secure it without having to make a move it might be a conversation worth having. Understanding what role you want Think about the daily duties you want to perform and the level within a team you want to work at. Consider the location of the employer – how long are you prepared to commute and think about this realistically remembering it is likely to be 5 days a week, possibly in heavy traffic. What sort of company do you want to work for, from traditional structured to modern open plan, the environment you work in needs to match your personal style. When do you want to move? Do you need to move in the short term or is it a long term goal? If longer term, are there steps you need to take in order to make it a possibility? Training courses, experience or moving can all take time to complete. Knowing what you want and the steps you need to take within a practical order can help to secure success rather than leaving it to chance. With short term moves getting people around you to help facilitate the move is useful. An experienced recruitment agent, with significant specialist industry knowledge, who understand your goals can help you to secure that next dream role. If you are looking to make the move contact the team at AutoSkillsUK to discuss your job move in more detail.
