Getting a job

School leavers and graduates alike are often unprepared for the process of finding a job.  Without a clear focus, they may find themselves applying indiscriminately for a whole range of jobs which may be of no real interest, instead of applying for what they are really interested in, such as jobs in education. Prospective employers usually spot this, leading to a round of rejections.

Gabbitas can help you to refine your search and write effective CVs and job applications to boost your confidence and maximise your chances of success.

• Looking for jobs
• Writing your CV
• Job application letters
• Interview techniques
• Changing jobs

We can advise you where and how to look for suitable opportunities and how to tailor each job application to highlight relevant strengths and achievements, for example tailoring your application to the strengths of jobs in education. Alternatively you can bring us your existing CV and we'll help you to give it that extra polish. If you are already in work and looking for a career change, we will spend as much time with you as you need to help you to identify alternative options and find the right opportunities in the field of jobs in education. Advice is given in person at our London offices, or by telephone, fax or email.

You can also improve your technique at interview with a practice interview session at our offices.  We can advise you what kind of questions to expect when interviewing for jobs in education and advise you on appearance, manner, dress and body language and what to avoid.
