CV & Interviews – This is a site full of useful Interview Tips, Skills and Techniques. It covers most of the common questions jobseekers need answers to in relation to interviewing. It also contains excellent CV Tips. When you are job hunting in Ireland this resource will be of interest. If you want a paid service read more about our interview preparation service.

Careers & Jobs – This site contains loads of useful information for jobseekers. It keeps you posted on all the latest jobs news in Ireland with useful career related articles in between. HR & Recruitment is a similar site with a slant towards the employer.

Best of luck with the job hunting in 2009

I appreciate that not everyone can afford to have their CV written by a professional so I have looked online for some sites to recommend for CV Templates. To be honest they are not great but here goes CV Template Example 1 and CV Template Example 2.

In need of a professional CV service in Ireland.

The more you prepare the more confident you will get. It is no secret that effective preparation will improve your confidence and performance. This is your starting point. Know what the employer wants and how you meet their needs. Know your own CV and learn about the company/industry.

Acknowledge your achievements before interviews

You need to acknowledge your achievements. This is an empowering exercise and will certainly boost confidence. My favourite exercise to support this is writing out “100 Successes List”. Please not that you will probably start struggling after about 20 successes BUT keep going. When you read through your success you will experience a significant rise in confidence. Worthwhile exercise even if you are not interviewing!!

Interviews – Confidence is a habit

You need to practice confidence as confidence is a habit. Watch how confident people act. You should also work on changing your thoughts and internal speak. What picture do you visualize when you think of an interview. For most people it is 3 (always 3) interviewers sitting at the far side of the interview table looking intimidating. Very rarely a reality. Start by changing this picture!!

Go to interview as a superhero

Superman – Try this as it really does work. We did this exercise at a martial arts workshop. Close your eyes and imagine you are entering a phone box, you spin around three times and emerge as superman/ or wonderwoman. You have the full outfit on. This does work and no I am not mad!!

Interviews – Some facts that might interest you.

You were called for interview because the employer liked your CV – A positive start!! He/She now wants a chat about your experience (which they love!!). The recruiter has a problem and you are the potential solution. They want you to succeed so they can stop recruiting and get back to their day job. By the way they don’t do much recruiting and are probably more nervous than you.

It is finally nice to read a positive job news story after all the doom and gloom in the jobs market in Ireland. Ther will be 50 new jobs created by Re3 a waste management company based in Limerick. These new jobs come as a result of the development of new waste management recycling technology. Re3 will invest EUR15 million in the new sustainable waste technology known as autoclaving. This system uses steam technology to recycle up to 85 percent of the domestic waste which currently goes to landfill. For those of you interested Re3 is based in Galvone Industrial Estate in Limerick.

Career Coaching View – A safe sector to work?

I am often asked what is a nice safe sector to work in especially during these rough employment conditions. Personally I think the focus should be on the right job rather than the right sector. If you do want security then Waste Management & Recycling Sector, Energy or Green Jobs would certainly not be a bad place to start looking.

“There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.” – Wayne Dyer

Many employees drift through their career working in jobs lacking fulfilment or any real satisfaction. Others believe that work is not for enjoyment therefore taking little action to find that dream job. As a result it is estimated that as many as 80% of employees are unhappy at work and on the wrong career road.
