Job Search

You already know what you want to do, but you aren’t having success in your job search. Denise can help.

Denise has personal experience on how to perform well at interview, ( She progressed through numerous interviews and assessment centres to gain all her jobs and reach Assistant Director with the Post Office). She is also regularly used as an external expert by companies, helping them with recruitment, predominately with graduates, professionals and senior managers. Denise was previously head of assessor training for Royal Mail.

Denise is used to reading through hundreds of CVs so can help you make an impact, learn how to shine at interview, perform well at an assessment centre and how to be proactive rather than to follow traditional job search methods.

Why do people struggle?

It’s hard to find a new job, and the reason many people take so long and often just give up and stay in a job that makes them unhappy is down to 3 main reasons

  1. Not  knowing where to start – there are so many job sites to look for jobs, which are best and how do you allocate your time? And how do you find the unadvertised market?
  2. There’s too much to do – CV updates, interview coaching, building your  network, undertake informational interviews, start a blog … how do you decide what to do next, sometimes it is easier not to start.
  3. It’s hard to stay motivated – you know what to do but you don’t do what you know, I’ts easier to watch TV than carefully craft a covering letter or follow up with a potential networking contact.
