The Engineer’s Guide to Finding New Job Opportunities
Finding a professional recruiter who can effectively find you the perfect engineering job can be difficult and confusing.
Read moreRegardless of whether you are applying for an entry-level or a senior position, it’s more than likely that you will have to interview for the role. This, of course, has two distinct purposes, firstly it gives you a chance to demonstrate your fit to the employer, and secondly, it helps you understand if the role is right for you.
Interviews, however, are high-pressure situations and with all the different components it can be difficult to establish priorities. To be successful, candidates need to take the time to prepare before meeting with the hiring team.
Discussion topics, ways to position yourself, experience, creating a positive impression, etc. are all important. Candidates should consider three distinct areas:
Whilst it’s important to understand and address what the employer needs, candidates can become so fixated on interview performance that, over and above the basics, they fail to think about what they need.
As you move through the interview process, think about your current career goals and the role you are applying for. Make a list of the different considerations and rank them. For example, do the organisation’s values align with your personal values? Are the organisations' projects right for your career? Do you have a clear understanding of the company culture and etc.?
We have created a simple guide so anyone can get the most out of the interview process. It will help you to identify your top 10 job considerations and determine how closely you align to the role you’re applying for.
Interviews can be stressful, confusing, and we can sometimes focus on the wrong things, putting others' priorities ahead of our own. Everyone's values and considerations will be ranked and weighted differently. For example, is salary the most important factor, or do you need a promotion in the next 12 months, or do you need an accreditation for career progression and etc.? If you think you are ready for the next step in your career, a conversation with an industry-specific recruitment specialist is a logical step.
