Simon Owen and Nick Rhodes Presenting to Futures Fest
You are worthless…
Without… ? Experience (beyond your assignments) ? Recognising employers care more about their needs than yours ? A plan
Experience ? Be it long or short is valuable ? In the industry or out is valuable ? No one cares what you did; an employer cares about what you delivered. ? Employers care even more if it was in the industry for 2 weeks than out for 2 months
Employers interests ? Typically you will cost more than you are worth during your first 12 – 18 months ? It takes longer to teach than to do ? You have potential, enthusiasm and a future That is your value and their benefit!
C is for CV “A static list of qualifications and experience gained to date described with an excess of superlatives. An application to be sent out to any role which is of interest without any thought as to what the reader will think”
CV basics ? Think about the reader ? Show insight, not idleness ? Superlatives suck ? Give the reader support when needed; it stops their interest falling
B is for building/blowing reputation ? Social Media ? CPD ? Blog ? Face to face ? Telephone
A is for “Am I a 7/10?” ? Exam technique is not just for exams ? Use contacts, experience and knowledge from building it ? Target the application by person, role and locations ? Follow it up ? Be courteous to jobs@, hellotoall@ ? Be honest with yourself; are you scraping 6/10? ? “Spray and Pray” is not a plan
What have we missed?
