One, two, testing, testing…
A week ago, our blog post Seven reasons why your CV may be letting you down offered seven essential tips to candidates for making CVs beyond awesome.
One tip in particular – ensuring that practical talents are promoted beyond what’s simply written down, in the form of websites and showreels – was aimed primarily at people working in teaching/coaching or creative industries. However, for any job-hunters who work in engineering and manufacturing, there is another way you can prove your technical abilities to prospective employees: come and see us.
Not only do we make sure we learn as much as we can about each and every person who accesses our services, when needed we test their proficiency, too, right here on-site. That way, potential candidates know for certain that their experience and know-how will be professionally assessed and matched to exactly the right sort of post, and clients can rest assured that they really are getting the correct skills for the job.
But please, if you’re a potential candidate, don’t think of it as a test in the old-fashioned sense. No-one is trying to catch anyone else out, and there’s nothing to be nervous about. Think of it rather as someone ‘test-driving’ a high-performance sports car (that’s you) to see how it handles and what it excels at, rather than as a process designed to configure failure.
If you want to put our testing to the test, showcase your talents and burnish your CV, then pop in and have a chat. It’s as easy as one, two, one, two, testing…
