Steph's Top Tips For A Top Interview
I’ve been working in recruitment for 5 years now, helping candidates get the job of their dreams every day!
I’ve worked across various industries, but one thing they all have in common are the questions candidates have throughout the process; how can I guarantee my application gets me an interview? How can I ace my interview? How can I stand out from other applicants?
Top 5 tips when applying/interviewing with PDR
1. Your CV – make sure it’s clear and concise, going over your previous experience and skill set & linking that to why you’d be a great fit for the role and Parkdean Resorts. Don’t forget, a lot of our roles don’t require experience so make sure to get across why you’d be perfect for us if this is the case for you.
2. Preparation is key! Before your interview make sure you do a little research, what does the role entail, a bit about the company background, who are you meeting, what questions do you have about working for Parkdean Resorts or the role?
3. Present yourself well, with a clean and tidy appearance
4. Be enthusiastic & showcase your experience and skills
5. Above all – BE YOURSELF! Show off your personality, we’re lucky to work in one of the most enjoyable and fun industries there are, making people’s holidays unforgettable day in, day out. We want to see that personal touch shine through!
Good luck with your application & hopefully we see you on board soon!
