Prepare Your Application Materials

Your CV and cover letter are your first impression, so make them count.

Tailor Your CV

Highlight relevant skills and experiences for the roles you're applying to.

Write a Cover Letter

Personalise your cover letter to each role, explaining why you're the right fit and how your experience aligns with the company’s.

Highlight Your Achievements

Rather than just listing your responsibilities, focus on specific accomplishments in your previous roles. This helps employers see the impact you’ve made and sets you apart from other candidates.

Check for Errors

Proofread for spelling and grammar issues. Attention to detail is critical for some positions.

Job Application

Don’t just apply everywhere. Be strategic to increase your chances.

Quality Over Quantity

Applying for the right role that matches your skills is essential as it maximises your chances of success and job satisfaction.

Research The Company

Understand their values, culture, and projects to tailor your application and prepare for interviews. Showing this knowledge demonstrates genuine interest and helps you stand out.

Use Your Network

If you know someone at the company you’re applying to, don’t hesitate to reach out for advice or a potential referral. A personal connection can make a significant difference in getting your application noticed.

Follow Up Politely

Wait a week after applying, then send a polite message to reiterate your interest to keep your application top of mind.

Interview Preparation

The real preparation starts once you secure an interview

Research the Role

Understand the role’s responsibilities and how your experience fits. Be ready to discuss your achievements and how they relate to the position.

Practice Common Questions

Prepare answers for standard questions like “Tell me about yourself” and “Why do you want this job?”

Dress Professionally

Even for virtual interviews, dress as you would for a face to face interview to make an impression.

Stay Positive and Be Persistent

Rejections are normal. Learn from the feedback given and keep improving your approach.

I have benefitted from 2 x positions through 2020 and cannot fault the team, excellent customer focus and are always on hand if issues arise.

Great recruitment firm. Used 2020 to find highly skilled people and delivered perfectly. Then used them for myself where Robert and his team found exactly what I was looking for, resulting in a job offer. Can’t recommend 2020 enough.

Got in contact 2020 and Robert and the team couldn’t be more helpful. Within 10 days I had secured a secure and enjoyable full-time job. I have also now started an apprenticeship programme with my employer which at the end will secure me an engineer role within the company. The opportunities that 2020 recruitment has offered me is fantastic and I would recommend anyone looking for work to get in touch.

Amazing agency. I was very happy to work for them. Very friendly. Communication was incredible. I had a very positive experience. Like any business they expect you to put in the work. I have never been with an agency and ended up with a permanent contract so thank you so much for giving me job security and a bright future to look forward to. Highly recommend.
