Top tips for standing out on paper and in person
Making a great first impression when applying for a job is no longer confined to the CV and covering letter. Your first point of contact with a potential employer could now be on social media – for example, through LinkedIn. Even when you apply for a role in the traditional way, the employer may check out your Facebook profile or Google you before they decide whether to shortlist your application.
Here, we share our tips for making a great first impression on paper when applying for jobs and in person when attending an interview.
We were delighted with the service Howett Thorpe provided. They managed to find an excellent Financial Controller who was an ideal match with our organisation. Thanks so much Kirsten!
Friendly, professional, prompt responses and if Alex was not available, I always had another contact. Alex discussed candidates and did not push for an interview if we felt the candidate did not fit our requirements
We have used Howett Thorpe for the past 3 years and received nothing but exceptional service. Julie understands the needs of the business, our requirements and meets our criteria every time.
It was reassuring that Toby took the time to truly understand our requirements and recruited perfectly against these.
Howett Thorpe listened to our requirement, sent exact candidates with an overview on each. We were not pushed into hiring someone that didn’t quite fit. We received a great service and are very happy – keep doing what you do as it works really well
Julie was always available when needed and the timings were good. The candidates sent were suitable for our requirements. If I needed help with recruitment again, I would not hesitate to work with Howett Thorpe.
100% – again another well-matched candidate. The whole accounts department now consists of HT candidates.
Howett Thorpe clearly listened to and understood the requirements of the company. As a piece of process, I thought it went extremely well and was delivered by an efficient organisation which clearly possesses a human touch. No hesitation about using Howett Thorpe again.
Excellent service – this was a textbook exercise in how to recruit for a client properly.
Excellent service as usual! Wouldn’t use another agency – Howett Thorpe is the only agency that doesn’t harass me every other week!
Julie Mott and Laura before her have always just got us. They know the type of person that works and that doesn’t. Julie is a very real individual, and I enjoy working with her when the opportunities arise.
