Posted on by ELi

It can be challenging to know the best way to answer questions set by recruiters, we've curated some of our best advice below to help you succeed:

1) Make reference to work experience- this is the best way to show that you've demonstrated desirable skills

Employers in todays market want to know what you have done, and how you have contributed to business success. This is a chance to really sell yourself. In giving examples consider using the following as a framework:

  • What did you contribute?
  • How did you do it?
  • How did this help your employer?

    Remember you may have experience from historic employers that is valuable. Do not undersell yourself by neglecting the diversity of your work experience.

    2)     Make sure you use relevant, up to date information- this will ensure that our recruiters can represent you in the best way to our clients

    In the information technology era it is vital you show you are keeping up with the ever changing pace of technological advancement. What have you achieved that demonstrates how up to date your skills are? Employers will want to hear about your most recent employment. Think about how you can stand out from other applicants.

3) Frame your answers in a way that suits the position your applying for- don't copy and paste/duplicate answers from previous applications you may have made

This is where your experience really matters. If the role requires working in a team make sure you demonstrate your experience of team work when answering questions, importantly make sure you include your unique contributions. How did you add value to the team? If the role requires working independently without supervision how can you demonstrate this?

4) Set some time aside that you can use to focus on your answers, make sure you have minimal distractions- this will allow you to concentrate and save you time

Think about the opportunities furthering your career can bring you. Satisfaction, stability, reward, progression, financial, travel? If the value in seeking alternative employment is meaningful to you then investing some time and energy into the process is vital. It is important your answers do not appear rushed or lazy. Our clients want to know that we are recruiting the best candidates for them. Consider this your time to demonstrate your attention to detail and what value you can bring to a new employer.

We recommend that all candidates have an up-to-date, well-written, easily accessible CV.
