Finding the Right Job: Don't Go It Alone

Changing your career can be a daunting process, but jobseekers of all levels can access help by working with a job search consultant in London. Working with a consultant will not only make the process less overwhelming and lonely, but consultants also have  specialized knowledge to maximize every component of the job search process. From getting CVs and resumes in top shape, to assisting with locating  particular companies of interest, a career consultant  takes the guesswork – and a lot of the stress – out of a job search.

The Prep Work
It would be great if landing a new job were as easy as searching, finding the perfect position, applying, and starting in a week! Unfortunately, this almost never happens. Finding someone who focuses on career coaching in London can mean helping to search for the right positions, but more importantly, preparing the jobseeker’s presentation to look as tailored and professional as possible.

A major component of what a job search consultant will do is help to revise and perfect a CV. A career coach can assist those who are just starting out and also those with lots of previous experience. It can be easy to leave a CV too short, too long, or filled with low value information. One way to think of a career coach is as a business management consultant in London who focuses on the jobseeker as a business. This means proper branding, marketing, and outreach – all of which focuses on the jobseeker and his or her skills as the product.

Interview Help
Interviews can be the most challenging part of landing a job. A perfect CV will get an applicant through the door, but if they can’t confidently hold their own during the interview, that CV will quickly be placed in a discard file. A career consultant will focus on helping candidates learn how to compose themselves during an interview, and will help them practice by acting out scenarios. Practicing the interview component can be particularly useful for those without an extensive work history, and be a crucial part of their toolkit to landing a job.

Interviews and hiring can be equally challenging from the business end – particularly for those companies just starting to grow. A business management consultant with significant HR experience like Salgado Consulting will work  as an extension of a company, to make sure that all business processes are as streamlined, efficient, and effective as possible.

The Right Match

Finally, one of the benefits of career coaching is helping candidates find the right match. This usually entails defining skillsets and goals, and seeing how they relate to each other. If there are areas of deficiency, a consultant can help recommend training or programs that can build up skills. This information will also be used to help find the right companies to look at. The right consultant will be able to make recommendations on both ways to improve, and companies to look at, and provide guidance knowing which will be a good fit for the jobseeker.
