How's the
market?
The last few months
have been testing for us all - our clients,
managing the business storm, with painful
redundancies, revised business plans and
very real worries about their company's
current status and future - and our candidates,
whether you've been made redundant, or
finding career opportunities less readily
available ... it's been tough. The one
thing we can all agree is that these are
interesting times - some of the most challenging
many people will have faced within their
working lives. As a recruitment consultancy
we are at the coal face of seeing these
changes, having a daily barometer of the
mood and the market. So what are we seeing
now? .... the body blows suffered by many
businesses do seem to be stabilising,
with many companies having now gone through
the pain, and working with a tighter ship,
but a stronger ship - and candidates with
a more realistic view of opportunities,
flexibility on salary expectations, and
for some a consideration of career alternatives.
There undoubtedly does seem to be a sense
of light at the end of the tunnel, that
having weathered the storm thus far, things
are taking an up. The noticable upswing
in contract roles over the past few weeks
has also indicated that there is now increasing
'work in progress', and as confidence
returns we expect a rise in the number
of permanent roles, particularly after
the summer break. This month's newsletter
has three articles we hope will be of
relevance whatever your current status
- giving useful advice on 3 key areas
in the job process...
In
any job market your CV is the single
most important tool, and in a difficult
market place it needs to be more effective
than ever - here
are tips on how to make sure it's
doing the job you need it to...
Giving
your interviews an edge - with a
tougher job market there is undoubtedly
more at stake at the interview stage...
employers are being more assertive in
ensuring that you're going to bring
value to their business - here's
a few tips to help ensure you're
raising your game to meet the mark...
