and resourcing solutions for our clients,
and finding career enhancing
opportunities for our candidates.
The60Second
rule
60 seconds is how much time you have to
make a first impression. Not long, is it? It's
that first impression on which future
employers will judge you, and it includes
everything from what your social media sites
say about you, and what impression your
blog leaves, to your CV, covering letter, first
call or interview with an employer, and
everything in between.
60Second
This first 60 seconds makes a big
difference. This is the time it takes for
someone to make their mind up and
make an initial assessment about you
(often subconsciously, but they do it
nevertheless).
60Second
Probably not. But if you think about it, we do it all the time: If you
go shopping, what do you buy? The thing that grabs your
attention; the thing that stands out. If you see a top that doesn't
look or feel right, how often do you go back to the shop to buy it
later? It's the same when we meet people. We get gut feelings,
make immediate decisions, and often find that those first
impressions were right (or at least we think they're right as we've
already made the decision!)
Is this fair?
Would you like to discuss your career aspirations in more detail?
