This week, Nicholas Howard CEO, Nick Bone, was on-site with a client delivering a series of interactive career workshops as part of the company’s outplacement support services, helping individuals build the confidence, skills and personal brand needed to secure their next opportunity.
The sessions focused on three of the most important elements of any successful job search:
- Creating a CV that stands out for the right reasons.
- Optimising LinkedIn and other professional online profiles to improve visibility with recruiters and hiring managers.
- Mastering interview techniques to communicate experience with confidence and make a lasting impression.
Drawing on more than two decades of recruitment experience, Nick shared practical advice from the perspective of the people who make hiring decisions every day. From avoiding common CV mistakes and writing impactful personal summaries, to improving interview preparation and understanding what employers are really looking for, the workshops were designed to give candidates practical tools they can put into action immediately.
Speaking after the event, Nick commented:
“Searching for a new role can be both exciting and daunting. Our aim is to give people the confidence, knowledge and practical techniques to present themselves at their very best. Small improvements to a CV, LinkedIn profile or interview approach can often make a significant difference to the opportunities that follow.”
