Amused Mess

I’m good, I got a new job a few months ago and I feel a weight has been lifted 🩷 If you want a tip for getting past the application stage - when they “mark” applications it’s very formulaic. They’re literally marking people against the person spec. So when you write your supporting statement, put the essential/desirable criteria as headings then write a few lines with an example under each one (obvs not for stuff like qualifications). But this makes it really easy to mark. In interviews, prepare at least 2 examples for each point in the job spec (you can take flash cards in to remind you). Also prepare an answer to “why do you want this job/why are you the best person”. But mainly they are basing the qs on the job spec and wanting examples. Mostly, go in remembering that they really want to recruit. They genuinely want you to be great and mark you on what you’ve said, they don’t give - points, only + points. Sorry if this is patronising! I just went on recruitment training once and it changed the way I approached applications X

Haha it’s ok I send you a message then forget for ages to check! Hows the job hunt and the reno going? I just had a thought that I’ve been sending you these messages for over 10 years!!! X

Lmfaoooo that new Taylor Swift album is absolutely shite, truly indefensible and I'm so sorry to the people who are trying to anyway
