Career Advice
Career Planning
Our long-standing history in the Automotive industry, working with talent from mid-tier to senior managers, makes us well equipped to advise candidates on career management and planning strategies.
The long-term relationships we have with candidates across every corner of the industry have positioned us as mentor, advisor and intermediary, enabling them to navigate the best course for their career.
Our candidate advisory services include:
Resume Preparation
The primary employment sales document, we help Automotive candidates achieve maximum market cut-through with their resume – by clearly and succinctly communicating their achievements, career aspirations, strengths and personality.
Making sure candidates stay well versed in the unique traits of the Automotive sub-sector in which they work, is critical to the relevancy and impact of their resume. Our resume preparation advice can make all the difference in helping candidates land the first interview.
Interview Preparation
Arguably the most important phase of the job search process, we position our talent – via detailed, personalised preparation – with the best shot at a successful interview.
Not only do we coach candidates for how they present to a prospective employer in an interview, but equally, how they uncover the right information so they’re equipped to make the right career decision.
We pride ourselves on providing candidates with interview planning and preparation coaching, covering every angle of the meeting.
Preparation for more Senior Roles:
We take the time to coach our senior candidates for the next role, providing for a smooth transition, culturally and technically, with their new employer. This ensures the senior hire is best prepared for what is an important change for both parties.
Our senior candidate coaching services cover the following areas of professional development:
- achieving better communication skills
- managing difficult conversations
- making a great first impression
- presentation skills for managers
Personal Branding: How Your Brand is Represented Online
The world of social media, together with Google’s long-term content memory, has placed greater importance on the digital footprint and visibility of today’s candidates.
And the responsibility rests mostly with the individual.
Our depth of industry knowledge and expertise enables automotive candidates to develop and sustain a reputable, credible and visible presence online. This is a critical factor in the reputation management of talent, particularly for mid to senior level managers.
LinkedIn Profile:
LinkedIn is the only online professional network with a successful penetration in every developed market, across almost every industry. And a presence on LinkedIn is mandatory for every business professional. It’s been said….
If you’re not on LinkedIn, you don’t exist… (Inc.com, May 2012).
We work closely with our candidates to achieve best practice for their LinkedIn profile. The goal is to position our candidates with a point of difference – to make sure their profile stands out amidst their talent competitors.
Our LinkedIn advisory services enable Automotive candidates to establish a credible, memorable and comprehensive online personal brand. And as Google favours LinkedIn in organic search results, we’re able to boost our candidates overall online visibility.
