At FreshMinds, we’re committed to helping our candidates prepare well for their interviews. So here’s our top 5 guide to interview research.
Looking for a job is a tiring and time consuming process. Many candidates spend their time posting their CV’s on job boards and scouring websites for roles often with limited results. The key to success is to combine these activities with getting out and networking. Before embarking on any networking event it’s crucial you know how to make the most of the event and how to act, especially for those candidates who tend to be shy in such a situation!
Effective networking really is the way forward. Never mind finishing early for the Great British Getaway, FreshMinds Talent spent Maundy Thursday eve hosting their very own “How to get Networked” networking event. Working very hard to dispel the myth that networking is a bit like hard work – and that networking events, seminars, conferences and all such similar can not only be highly efficient means of meeting lots of potentially useful people in one go, but they can actually be fun too!
Since posting my last blog about social media in recruitment, this hot topic has become increasingly discussed and debated as employers and employees try to get to grips with this new medium as a form of job hunting.
Yesterday evening we spent a very enjoyable time at a top Business School Career Fair. Not only were we the only recruiter invited to attend, but the number of candidates who approached us was a testimony to the reputation the firm has build over the years in placing exceptional candidates in highly coveted positions across the industry and the consultancy world.
Last night, FreshMinds Talent hosted a fantastic event for some of our past and present Ones to Watch. We chatted all things Digital Media at Google’s impressive London headquarters, with three brilliant speakers sharing their thoughts on the increasingly important role digital media has to play in business and society.
Nowadays, technology gives us access to a far greater pool of partners, but networks are often judged on their breadth rather than their depth. Having 500+ contacts on LinkedIn (founded 2003) is worn as a badge of honour – indeed there are groups of people who advertise their willingness to accept all connection requests, purely to accumulate contacts.
The phrase 'social media' is gaining increasing importance within the business world, particularly for online retailers. Although budgets have been slashed and marketing spend reduced throughout the economic downturn, social media now seems to be providing a way for retailers to increase their marketing ROI without increasing their overall marketing spend.
In the business world, social media has been established for some time now and it is vastly becoming the go-to for any business development, marketing and networking needs.
