Welcome to Transform Your Career Success, your go-to Show for Career Success strategies!
In today's episode, I am joined by seasoned recruitment expert Danny Collins from Akkodis. We dive deep into what it takes to get noticed by recruiters in today's ultra-competitive job market.
We discuss proactive strategies like making direct contact via LinkedIn, phone calls, and emails to stand out from the crowd, the waning relevance of cover letters, and the importance of a well-crafted CV / Resume.
Danny shares invaluable tips, including how to optimise your CV / Resume length, prioritise relevant experience, and use quantifiable achievements to catch a recruiter's eye.
We also explore personal branding on LinkedIn, from creating a punchy headline to leveraging mutual connections and recommendations to boost your profile's attractiveness.
Join us as we unpack the secrets to crafting an effective CV / Resumeand building a standout LinkedIn profile, ensuring you're not just another name in the sea of applicants but a memorable candidate recruiters want to connect with.
A few of the many Key Takeaways in this episode:
🔑 **Make Direct Contact with Recruiters**: - Don’t just hit “apply” and hope for the best. Stand out by reaching out directly via LinkedIn, phone calls, or emails. It’s a proactive approach that can make you more memorable among hundreds of applicants.
🔑 **Effective CV Tailoring**: - Your CV / Resume should be tailored for each role you apply for. No more one-size-fits-all CVs! Highlight the most relevant skills and experiences specific to the job, and place those at the top of your CV / Resume to catch the recruiter’s eye.
🔑 **Build a Strong LinkedIn Presence**: - Ensure your LinkedIn profile serves as your ""shop window."" Be sure to have a professional headshot, a punchy headline, and a detailed work history. Your online brand is crucial, so make sure you're controlling the narrative.
