Key Questions to Ask Your Recruiter to Maximise Your Job Search
1. What are my strongest qualifications for the jobs I’m interested in?
Understanding your top skills and qualifications is crucial for making your profile stand out. Emma advises focusing on the most marketable skills that align with job descriptions. Highlighting these in your CV and LinkedIn profile ensures that recruiters quickly see why you're the right fit.
2. Do you have any suggestions for improving my CV or LinkedIn profile?
A well-structured CV and LinkedIn profile can increase your chances of being noticed.
Emma recommends:
Optimising your CV format for clarity and readability.
Including measurable achievements to demonstrate impact.
Using industry-relevant keywords to improve searchability.
Updating LinkedIn with a strong headline and summary to grab attention.
3. How can I highlight my experience to make it more relevant for specific roles?
Customising your CV and LinkedIn profile for each job application is key to standing out.
Emma suggests:
Aligning your experience with job descriptions to show relevance.
Showcasing your top skills in the summary and experience sections.
Using action-driven language to highlight achievements.
Why These Questions Matter
Asking these questions is a proactive way to gain insights into how your profile is perceived. It also helps you improve your CV and LinkedIn profile to better match the roles you're applying for.
