Applying For Job Vacancies Over Christmas

If you are one of the lucky ones that gets a nice long break over Christmas, then why not use your time wisely and have a look for a new job for the New Year. The New Year is all about starting afresh and setting new goals and challenges for yourself, so why not start the New Year with an exciting new job.

1. Update Your CV

The first thing that you need to do is dig out your CV and give it a makeover. Lots of candidates make the common mistake of keeping their CV the same for many years, not realising that they should have updated it with all the achievements that they have made within those years. One of the most important things to do is not just send the same universal CV with each job application. A CV should be tailored to suit each job application that you make as this will heighten your chances of receiving a job interview.

2. Update Your Social Media

Secondly, think about updating your social media profiles. You may not realise that social media is quite an important tool when applying for jobs so make sure your LinkedIn profile is as up to date as it can be with your latest job roles and the experience you have gained with each job role, as many employers will take a look at your social media to get to know you that bit better.

3. Be Prepared for Job Interviews

With how quickly the Christmas break can pass, you may be invited to attend numerous job interviews in the New Year. Make sure you are as prepared as you can be, have a clean and pressed smart suit or dress ready to put on so that if you do get an unexpected call asking for you to attend a job interview the next day then at least you are ready. Practice job interviews with friends and family over the Christmas break to boost your confidence.

4. Vacancies

At Debbie Burbage Recruitment we have a number of job vacancies available from part time to permanent roles so why not take a look and see if there is one that suits you which you can apply for over Christmas. We update our Vacancies page over the year so if there are not any that suit what you are after then keep checking our website and social media throughout the New Year for any updates.

5. Candidates

If you can’t see any jobs that you would like to apply to at this time then why not take a look at our Candidates page and send us your latest CV which we will keep on file until something more preferable comes up. At Debbie Burbage Recruitment we believe in finding our candidates the perfect job rather than just a convenient one. You can also Contact Us and we can work together to find the right job for you.
