How to make your CV stand out
CV: First Impressions When applying for new jobs you have to compete with other CVs, giving you a matter of seconds to impress. So, how can you ensure your application will leave a positive impact with such little time? Here are some helpful tips to help your CV stand out from the others: Keep It Short CVs are never one-size-fits all. Most recruiters find that a CV of which is two pages long is spot on length wise. However, it all depends on how much information you have to share. Anything more than 3 pages may be seen as too lengthy and may be ignored. The key to keeping it short but precise is by ‘cutting off the fat’. Ask yourself the question, ‘is this sentence relevant to the role that I’m applying for?’. If you find yourself saying no, then it shouldn’t make the final cut. When it comes to your qualifications, be specific. Add start and end dates, qualification types and grades. You don’t need to add all of your qualifications either. Depending on the role you’re applying for at least two or three will usually suffice. Job Tailoring No matter what job you’re applying for, always tailor your CV to include relevant examples showing us (the recruiter) that you’re right for the role. Use your CV to match up with the job spec and show the recruiter that you’re a good match. If you find that your experience doesn’t exactly count up with the job description, don’t panic. Take some time to think about transferrable skills and show that you’re willing, able and equipped to handle the duties at hand. Format & Layout A good use of formatting is vital to a successful CV. Choose an easy-to-read structure, with clear headings and highlight key points by using bullet points. Place emphasis on the information you want employers to see first and then use a logical order throughout the rest of the CV. This will allow us to find what we’re looking for quickly and help make the best impression possible within those precious seconds. Avoid All The Clichés Nothing’s more bland than a generic application. Even though you might think phrases like ‘excellent team player’ and ‘good communication skills’ are essential, all they end up doing is make your CV look like everyone else’s. Instead, keep things positive, and always back up your attributes with real examples. Unique CVs are more likely to capture one of our recruiters’ attention, possibly landing you in the “yes pile”. Conclusion It can take just seven seconds to save or reject a job applicant’s CV. This means creating a succinct CV is absolutely vital if you want to land that all-important interview. It can be difficult to spot the flaws in your own CV. So, if you need pointers with your CV, ask a member of our recruitment team for help. Contact us today here.

5 of the hardest interview questions and how to answer them.
What are your weaknesses? The most dreaded question of all time; what are your weaknesses? When asked this question, you should always try to make the answer to this question as positive as possible. For example, you could talk about how you are always looking to improve your communication skills or how you are trying to perfect certain skills that are specific to the industry. Also, try and keep away from personalised qualities and stick to more professional/universal traits. Always emphasize on the positives, even when the question is negative. What would a good friend say about you? When asked this question, it’s important to keep it professional, while also making it relatable. A good example would be “My friend would say I am extremely organised as I am the one who arranges and organises all the outings”. Try to not use personal qualities and focus more on what the company is looking for in an employee. What do you know about the company? This question can be very daunting, especially if you don’t do your research beforehand. To ensure confidence when answering this question, you should research a few facts about the company. To really impress them, you can always read their policies or dig up some interesting facts that other interviewees may not know about. Keep your answer factual, not too lengthy and clear. A couple of basic things to find out about the company: ∙ Who the CEO/Founder is ∙ When the company was founded ∙ What their values/main goals are Why should we hire you? You should always make your answer to this concise, clear and positive. Highlight some of your best qualities (not personal) and talk about how they would help the company. Also, mention how you helped/what you contributed to previous companies. Can you tell me about a time when you made a mistake? This question can be a nightmare to answer, if you don’t know how to answer it properly. When answering this question, you should talk about a mistake you made that, in the end, had a positive outcome and shows positive qualities within yourself. A good way to answer is to talk about how you made a mistake, corrected it and how it positively impacted the company.

Top tips for telephone interviews
If you’ve got a telephone interview coming up it can be tempting to treat it more casually than a face-to-face meeting but as this is the first opportunity you may have to put your voice to a name with potential employers, we always recommend taking just as much time to prepare. Here are our top tips to help get you started: Do your research! Find out as much as you can about the company including the size, what it specialises in and the market it works in. Understand more about the industry and any challenges currently facing it by searching news articles, also look at the companies’ competitors. In addition, if you have a name for the person interviewing you then you could also look them up on LinkedIn. Have your CV and the job description to hand. It can be easy to lose your train of thought when you are focusing on the conversation so have the job description and your CV in front of you with key points, such as key achievements or skills highlighted so you can refer to them easily. Knowing that you have these at the front and centre of your attention will ensure you don’t miss anything. Write down any questions you want to ask Any interview is an opportunity to understand more about the opportunity you’ve applied for, and questions don’t need to be solely focused on the role. Great questions could be based on the company culture, potential growth for both the company and your position. Have something to hand so you can take notes and then you can refer to these answers in further interviews or emails with them. SMILE! The tone of your voice is impacted by your environment, posture, and energy. By smiling throughout the call, you will sound more upbeat and energised. Test it out on a personal call first to hear for yourself!

How To Get Started In The Automotive Industry
Engineering companies, auto dealerships, and body shops all need to hire and retain skilled automotive technicians, field investigators, and salespeople. If you are interested in how to start a career in automotive technology, be sure to take some time to think about your personal goals and the options available for achieving them. For those of you who are interested in building a career in the automotive industry, here are some of the things you can do to get yourself started... Consider Your Options There are a variety of niches within the automotive industry. The best way to start out your career is by doing some research and figuring out which area you want to specialize in. Some of the main specialisms within the automotive industry include: Automotive Technicians - The technically-minded can find a job repairing cars that are broken if they are willing to undergo some training. Whether a car simply needs an oil change or major bodywork is required after a car wreck, there needs to be someone willing to do the physical work required to actually fix the car. Making sure your training is relevant is particularly important, so even if you already know how to work on cars, getting automotive and diesel certifications will help you keep your resume relevant in the current job market. Marketing - Knowing how to make sure the right audience finds the right product can be tricky, but it’s a business that can find work in almost any industry. If you have a strong interest in vehicles and experience in the marketing sector, a marketing job within the automotive industry might be for you. Sales - Selling cars on the sales floor can be a decent job if you like interacting with people. Selling cars, new or used, takes persistence, a desire to work on your feet, and the ability to keep going after failed attempts at a sale. Most importantly, though, a car salesman will have a genuine interest in building relationships with people and have a solid knowledge about cars. Expand Your Network Once you’ve decided what area you want to specialize in and built up your skill set in that area, you should work on expanding your network. Make contacts and network at industry trade shows and events, connect with prospective employers on social media, and talk to your friends and family about the kind of work you are looking for. Use A Recruiter Even with heavy networking, starting a career in the automotive industry isn’t always easy. You might be frustrated by how difficult it is to get your foot in the door, how slow going it is, or how little opportunity there seems to be. This is why working with a recruitment agency that specializes in placing workers in the automotive industry, can make your job search a whole lot easier. Autoskills UK sources permanent and contract personnel for a diverse range of roles covering technical, sales & marketing, finance & administration, and customer service across our core sectors: Dealership Truck & Bus Bodyshop & Accident Repair To get your career started, get in touch with our team today.
