<h3>The right environment.</h3>
<p>As with most things in life, it's important to have the right people around you when looking for new job opportunities. Modern working environments are incredibly complex and while some businesses may operate in similar sectors, few have the same demands of their staff.</p>
<p>The sector Abigail specialises in <a href="/join-our-team/our-current-vacancies/r-recruitment-consultant/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">as a recruitment consultant</a> is the media and she rarely deals with two clients who expect the same skills and qualifications from their candidates. She always explains the need to understand what a potential employer demands before a client can even think about attempting to obtain an interview.</p>
<h3>Every application is unique.</h3>
<p>Of course, applicants could meticulously read through the company's job description. That will give them an outline of their requirements, but it's unlikely to provide the full picture.</p>
<p>By using a recruitment specialist like ourselves at Randstad Business Support, you can gain the inside track on companies prior an interview or assessment. We work closely with both our clients and our candidates to understand exactly what is required so that we are able to provide coaching and support.</p>
<p>"I have personally immersed myself in the market and feel in a position where I can provide a kind of bridge between good companies and good prospects."</p>
<h3>The CV.</h3>
<p>As well as finding the most suitable roles and providing guidance, she explains how important it is that all candidates understand that they cannot take a one size fits all approach to their applications. Companies differ greatly and in order for a candidate to have the best chance of success they need to tailor their CV accordingly.</p>
<p>They need to think carefully about which specific parts of their experience will be most appealing to the business they are applying to. When people bring take their CV to Abigail, she always explains to them that what they've written is really just a template and they should be prepared to tweak it so that it emphasises the qualities that certain companies look for.</p>
<p>There is really no point in having a generic CV that lists achievements which, while great in themselves, are not relevant or interesting to the person reading them.</p>
<p>Often, candidates also need to be coached on what type of questions they are likely to be asked at an interview and where they can find the answers. Clients like to test how much an applicant knows about their products and services because it allows them to gauge what research they have done and how enthusiastic they are about the role.</p>
<p>At Randstad, we are both researchers and influencers. We pride ourselves on getting the right people into the right jobs and in order to do that we strive to know everything about a firm and its requirements. Candidates should use our knowledge to their advantage.</p>
<p>We're here to help people through the entire process of searching for suitable positions to CVs, interviews and finally starting dates.</p>
<p>We have helped thousands of people to get the job of a lifetime and we look forwards to helping thousands more.</p>
