1. Write the right CV
There may have been over 100 CV’s and cover letters submitted for a role, so remember there are particular aspects of your CV that made you suitable for a role.
2. Prep for your interview
There are even steps you could take around your interviews to make sure you land that role. A number of employers have reported to have hired someone who not only
knows the company they have an interview for, but also written a thank you letter to show keenness for a job.
Make friends and influence people
Finally, networking is essential when on a job hunt. Platforms such as LinkedIn has many influencers and employers, it wouldn’t hurt to follow the company you’d want to
work for, right? Showing engagement with a company is also showing keenness to work.
Why would a company choose someone who shows no engagement or enthusiasm for a job compared to someone who shows this plus more when deciding who to hire?
