What are my top 5 Job Search Tips? As regular readers of this blog (Hello!) will know I try and participate in the L&D (Learning and Development) Twitter Chat each Friday at 8am(GMT) which you will find under the hashtag #LDInsight.
A few weeks ago the question posed was what advice we would offer people seeking a Job within L&D. The request was that we shared our top Job Search tips.
I had forgotten about it until someone mentioned something I had said the other day. So I decided to find my original tweet and share the advice I offered!
Obviously, it’s a little tongue in cheek – or is it?
- Do try and avoid ageing if you can – maybe invest in a Dorian Gray style picture?
- Don’t learn too much and therefore become very experienced! Also remember that recruiters are mind readers who know that you will get bored in the job you applied for!
- Find a sector to work in and never, ever move out of it!
- Be aware that your good manners in replying to emails and returning calls are not the norm in recruitment.
- Keep a very good sense of humour.
