As a small and caring team of local people, we care about the emotional wellbeing of our clients and employees, especially so during these uncertain times. We recognise the pressures of the modern world, the instability of the economy, the mounting cost of living, and the impact those factors can have on our mental health. We are all effected differently, yet for some, when stressors weigh heavy, it's not uncommon for us to fall into the traps of unhealthy coping mechanisms, which can then ripple into other aspects of our lives.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or a fresh graduate, the job interview is a critical step on the path to your career success. It's your opportunity to showcase your skills, personality, and to show your potential to prospective employers. As much as it's about proving your worth, it's also about determining whether the role and the company align with your career aspirations. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, about anything related to the role or the company. Interviews are a two way process and it’s a positive to show interest and be keen.
Before you hit send on that job application, it's crucial to give your CV a thorough final check to ensure it’s the best it can be. Why is this final check so important? According to a recent study, 72% of employers in this country dismiss a CV due to spelling or grammar errors. That's right, almost three quarters of potential employers could discount your application if it has avoidable errors. In a competitive job market, you don't want to be part of that statistic. Remember, your CV is a reflection of your professionalism and attention to detail, so make sure it's as perfect as can be before sending it off.
Being qualified for a role is undoubtedly essential, but displaying a keen interest and enthusiasm can often tip the scales in your favour. When it comes to your application, demonstrating your enthusiasm starts with thoroughly researching the company and role you're applying for. This isn't just about proving you've done your homework. It shows employers that you're genuinely interested in what they do and how you can contribute to their success. Employers are often overwhelmed by the number of applicants for any given job, so it’s really important to convey your passion effectively, both in your application and during your interview.
The employment history section of your CV serves as a roadmap of your career journey, highlighting your experience, skills, and professional growth. But how do you construct this section effectively and why is it so important? Your employment history isn't just a list of past jobs. It's a story of your professional development, achievements, and potential. It provides employers with a glimpse into your career trajectory, skill set, and suitability for the role in question. It needs to create an impact that sets you apart in the eyes of potential employers.
Embarking on your career journey with little to no work experience? You might be wondering how to craft a compelling CV that catches the eyes of potential employers. It may seem like a daunting task, but with the right strategies and mindset, it's entirely possible. Your CV is your personal marketing tool. It's your opportunity to showcase your skills, talents, and potential to employers. So, how do you present a strong case when your work experience section feels a bit lean? The answer lies in focusing on your transferrable skills, personal projects, volunteering experiences, and academic achievements.
Did you know that the secret to career success might be as simple as getting a good night's sleep? Yes, you read that correctly. Sleep, often overlooked, plays a pivotal role in our overall wellbeing and productivity, significantly impacting our performance in the workplace. Sleep is not merely a time for rest. It's when our body and brain engage in critical processes that restore and rejuvenate us for the following day. Lack of quality sleep can impair our cognitive functions such as memory, concentration, and decision-making abilities, all of which are essential for optimal job performance. A well-rested mind is a more productive mind.
Coronavirus restrictions have been lifted with the UK. However, our priority continues to be the well-being of our employees, candidates and partners.

We would like to reassure both job seekers and employers that we are implementing processes and procedures to minimise the risks for everyone. We are now delivering our services at full capacity with health and safety at the forefront of our minds.
SureStaff have recently relocated to new offices at The Plough Business Centre in Gainsborough. The former pub on Church Street underwent a £350,000 makeover several years back, attracting a range of new businesses to the premises, including ourselves. With private car parking, cycle parking, conference rooms, the latest IT infrastructure and a patio terrace area for informal meetings, our new base is easy to find near Gainsborough town centre, adjacent to Parish Church and a just a few minutes walk from Marshalls Yard. We look forward to working in our new surroundings and hope to see you soon.
Our offices are open from 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday. To avoid disappointment, please contact us to arrange an appointment before visiting us. Our offices are not always staffed and we may be dealing with other customers when you visit. Visitor parking is available and we welcome you to come down and meet our staff.
