The Great Job Hunt
Looking around for a job can be an exhausting process, and labouring away over your CV and various applications - although lucrative in the end - can be time consuming. So, when you get that precious interview, you don’t want to ruin your chances by blurting out the wrong things and letting all your hard work got to waste.

Firstly, when you sit down in front of a potential employer, try not to be too negative about your old boss, as it probably doesn’t look great to discard your old boss so readily. It’s a lot better to just appear as positive as you can, even if you had the worst time ever in your last job. You could, instead try and go for the option of saying you learned much, but were ready to move on and that you had reached as high a level as you could where you were working.

In the same way, if you have had a chequered past and moved jobs a few times, don’t say it’s because you were easily bored. Instead, you might want to say that you were trying new challenges and that you had some changes in personal goals. It sounds like everything you did was a conscious decision based on an ultimate goal and that you think ahead, and that this is an industry you see yourself settling in.

When your interviewer asks what your strengths are, think of concise expels that you can readily backup. Discuss an aptitude at meeting deadlines, an ability to work strongly with a team, and dynamism when it comes to thinking on your feet.  You can reiterate your skills if they ask why they should hire you.

Think about discussing long term goals; that you intend on building relationships, and seeking valuable experience to develop you to the next level. This should illustrate commitment and a willing to learn and be taught. You can get further valuable interview advice and tips at websites like Ace the Interview.com, although you’ll need to get a job first. Check out Reed.co.uk for a list of jobs to throw your CV at. They update their list of jobs regularly and include a range of sectors you might find helpful, and up your street.
