It's important to check your CV before sending it out because it's basically your first impression with potential employers. Accuracy: You want to ensure that all the information on your CV is correct, including dates of employment, job titles, educational qualifications, and contact information. Professionalism: Employers may interpret silly mistakes as signs of carelessness or lack of commitment. First Impression: Errors can create a negative impression before you even have a chance to interview. Yep, funny mistakes do happen. They might seem hilarious at first but they can be super embarrassing and seriously mess with your job chances. Here are a few examples: "Experienced cashier with excellent attention to de-tail." "My interests include cooking dogs and meeting friends." "Exellent communcation skills." What was the one mistake you've spotted that you can still remember? Not to mention email address (partyanimal@ crazyjohn@ ... )

🎉 Congratulations! You’ve found the perfect candidate for that open position. Now, it’s time to seal the deal with a job offer letter. It may seem like just a formality, but believe me, it's one of the most important steps in the hiring process. So, how can you make sure your job offer letter makes a lasting impression? Here are 4 essential tips to help you write a job offer letter that wows and feels personal.👇 ☑️ Be Clear and Specific 🎯 Let’s be real— no one wants to read a vague letter filled with corporate jargon. Candidates appreciate clarity! Make sure to include all the necessary details like salary, job title, start date, and benefits. ☑️ Highlight Your Company Culture 🌟 A job isn’t just about the pay check. Candidates are looking for a company where they’ll fit in and thrive. Your job offer letter should reflect the vibe of your company. Is your team laid-back and creative, or more structured and goal-driven? Give them a sneak peek into your work environment by mentioning perks, values, and what makes your team unique. ☑️ Make It Personal and Exciting 🎉 Avoid sounding like a robot. Your candidate wants to feel seen. Personalise the letter by mentioning something unique about them—whether it’s a skill they showcased in the interview or something that stood out on their resume. It shows that you’re paying attention and not just sending out generic offer letters. ☑️ Provide Next Steps 📅You’ve wowed them with your letter, now don’t leave them hanging! Clearly outline what happens next. Whether it’s signing the offer, setting up a meeting with HR, or prepping for their first day, make sure they know the next steps to take.

Tip for Job Seekers: Attention to Detail is Key! Last week, while screening for a Retail Store Manager vacancy, I noticed that at least 40% of the CVs I received had critical errors. These ranged from outdated job information and spelling mistakes to questionable formatting. One of the key skills I was looking for was "Attention to Detail"—so you can imagine how these errors stood out from the get-go. How do you proceed with an application when the first document viewed raises concerns? Always proofread your CV and, if possible, have someone else review it before hitting send. Taking that extra step could be the difference between getting an interview or not! #CareerTips #JobSearch #AttentionToDetail #Recruitment #RetailJobs #HR

CVs! Last decade? Let's be honest, sifting through a pile of paper resumes isn't exciting. And as a candidate, it's tough to stand out when you're just another name on a long list of qualified applicants. So, what if we changed the game? Imagine ditching the traditional CV and stepping into the spotlight with a video introduction. It's your chance to showcase your personality, passion, and skills in a way a traditional CV simply can't. But is it worth the extra effort? At ZEIL, we're taking on the battle between CVs and video introductions. When you apply for a job on ZEIL, you can choose to include an additional video introduction to support your application.

This is what I can do that is relevant to what you need 👆🏻👆🏻 That’s what your CV should be telling a recruiter or hiring manager. The message should be loud, clear, and not cluttered by all the “and also I’m pretty nifty at this” or “I once did this which isn’t relevant to what you need but I’m damn proud of it so it’s going in there anyway” Far too often a great candidate will dilute the message by adding in everything they’ve ever done on their CV So before you apply for that next role, take out anything that isn’t showing what you can do that’s relevant to this particular job
