Unlock valuable insights from industry experts with our weekly Career Tips!
This week, Ruth Westbrook, Lead Recruiter at Travelers Europe, shares expert advice on standing out in the hiring process and making a strong impression with your application.
🗣 Ruth shared:
👉 Company values matter
Hiring decisions aren’t just about skills—they’re also about cultural fit. Check out an organisation’s values before applying to ensure they align with yours. Not only will this help you decide if it’s the right fit, but it will also strengthen your application and interview responses.
👉 Tailor your CV to stand out
Differentiate yourself by making your personal statement clear and relevant to the role. Highlight your most applicable work experience prominently on the first page, so hiring teams can quickly see why you're a great fit.
👉 Be strategic when applying
Rather than applying for multiple roles at the same company, focus on the opportunities that best match your skills and interests. Building a rapport with recruiters can lead to more opportunities suited to your experience.
A well-targeted application with a strong CV and an understanding of company values can set you apart in a competitive job market!
Thank you, Ruth, for these invaluable tips!
