502 Employability Week #2

 No One Likes Filling in Forms:

  • Application forms are specific to the what the company is looking for, so don't skim them!
  • Sell yourself, but you don't need to list everything, stick to relevant skills/achievements
  • Keep it consistent
  • Read it carefully and tailor it to what company you're applying for
  • Ask for feedback so you can always improve it

Growing a Network:
  • Go to events at least once a month to meet folk
  • Present yourself properly
  • Eye contact (use your nose bridge trick to avoid uncomfy feeling), smile, be friendly
  • MAKE A SOCIAL INTERACTION PLAN - observe how formal the event is
  • Keep to open questions - keep them talking! 
  • Talk to people (get some 1-2-1 advice on that)
  • Most people's professional emails are [FirstInitial][LastName]@company.co.uk
