How agencies work:<\/strong> You can either register with an agency directly by sending them a CV, or apply to a vacancy that you\u2019ve seen on their website. A consultant will give you a call to discuss your skills and experience, and add you to their database. When new vacancies come in, the consultant searches the database for keywords (make sure you get yours right), and will ring you to suggest that you apply with a more tailored CV. The consultant is the person who \u2018long-lists \u2018candidates for the employer, and the employer then selects people to interview.<\/p>\n

The best time to approach an agent<\/strong> is about 1-2 months before you\u2019re ready to start work. The shorter notice period you give, the more likely you are to be put forwards. There are booms and slumps in the number of vacancies throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Unrealistic salary expectations<\/strong> are an issue, and you are likely to have to take a pay-cut. This was definitely a vicious cycle situation: the advice was to be prepared to take a step backwards to get experience. Ask the consultant\u2019s advice \u2013 they know the employers.<\/p>\n

At what level should you pitch yourself?<\/strong> It\u2019s best to discuss it with the consultant. You should try to be as honest with them as you can about what you have to offer and what you want, and you can expect some honesty (sometimes unwelcome honesty) in return. The consultant may be giving you bad news that you don\u2019t want to hear. Their advice was to stay positive and ask what you can do to maximise your chances. Given that the consultants are the long-listers, it pays to keep in their good books.<\/p>\n

Personality goes a long way.<\/strong> You want the consultant to go the extra mile for you, which means that you need them to like you enough to fight for you. it was all about the enthusiasm. If someone comes in to see them who is energetic, passionate about what they do, and has a positive outlook, it makes a big impression.<\/p>\n
