\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the thing I always say to candidates when they ring me up at TRS Resourcing: if you want to get noticed, you don\u2019t need to reinvent the wheel. You don\u2019t need some flashy pitch or gimmick. What you do need is to get the basics right.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re wondering how you can stand out when applying for a job, the answer is simple: start with your CV. Is it updated? I mean actually updated not something you quickly tweaked two years ago. If you\u2019re going for a higher role, like a supervisor or manager position, your CV and LinkedIn profile need to reflect that. And they need to say the same thing.<\/p>\n

This is where people go wrong all the time. I\u2019ll get a CV for a leading hand position, but then I check LinkedIn and it still says, \u201cTrade Assistant 2021.\u201d That\u2019s the kind of thing that raises red flags. It tells us as recruiters that you\u2019re not really across the details and if you\u2019re not detail-oriented on your own application, what does that say about how you\u2019ll handle the job?<\/p>\n
