So You Have An Interview With IT Recruiter London?


Ever since the recession struck the British economy, hundreds of people have lost their job.  But now, things are going back to normal and unemployed people are hopeful again. So you had sent out your resume to various recruiters and you are now getting calls from IT recruiters London. So what should be your next step?

Well, first of all fix the date of interview and read these tips which can help you seal the deal at your much awaited job interview with the  IT Recruiter London . In order to make yourself more marketable, you should have an excellent resume and cover letter. As good recruiters are flooded with hundreds of resume, you can rest assure that until and unless your resume has something very attention grabbing, it will receive a total attention span of 30 seconds. So make sure your resume has precise details. Yes, I know it is kind of ironic to use these two words together but you have to be detailed about your contributions towards achievements like project completion etc. and yet you have to be precise, to describe all this in short and simple way.

Next good thing which you can do is to make sure that you know what the IT recruiter London is looking for in their ideal candidate. It is not always about the degree, diplomas or certificates you have. Most of the times, your soft skills also play a very major role in your selection for the job. If you want to get selected for the job, you should do your homework properly and in-depth, before going for the interview. It will leave a very positive impact on the minds of members in the interviewing panel if you have good knowledge about the company which you want to join. Plus, you should be knowledgeable about the position you are applying for.  You should not come across as a job hopper or a person whose reason of changing job is the extra bucks only.

Although having technical skills and the required experience will prove invaluable but IT recruiters London are willing to take a chance on less experienced candidates too, provided they can effectively demonstrate what they have learned so far in their career, in the interview. As I said earlier, soft skills matter. Your being a master or an expert on the subject is not sufficient reason to hire you. Because in a company, people want their colleagues to be easy going as they have to spend a lot of time with them. So if you come across as socially awkward, say goodbye to that job.

Now this last piece of advice is regarding how to choose your recruiter? There are many good recruiting agencies out there, but you should choose the recruiter with whom you feel comfortable. A good recruiter will represent you only if you have the qualities they are looking for and they will provide you feedback too, regarding how you can sell your skills better. Don’t go for those recruiters who only see you as an easy pay.
