Swindale Parks Recruitment's Top Tips

Swindale Parks' Top Tips to help you secure your next Sales or Marketing & Creative job...........

Some consider them old fashioned and unnecessary, but a well worded ‘covering letter’ can set you apart from your job seeking competitors. The trend it appears is to send out as many CV’s as possible with no real thought as to why you are suitable for each of the roles applied for. An effective covering letter should make it easy for the recruiter to understand why you are applying and why you are suitable for the role. If you aren’t able to justify this to yourself maybe you should reconsider your application (see Top Tip No. 2)

Girls V Boys

This past month saw an Apprentice inspired Girls V Boys competition at Swindale Parks. I would like to say it was nip and tuck right up to the final whistle, but after an inspired start the boys dreams of tucking into an all you can eat feast at The Fountain Inn, Clent sadly faded like Andy Murray’s Wimbledon dreams!

The competition was conducted in a fantastic spirit bringing out the best in everyone, but in the end there could only be one winner. So whilst the girls claimed and consumed their well earned prize, the boys had to make do with sandwiches and manning the phones back at the office. Well done Girls, your victory was well deserved but you know what they say revenge is sweet and the boys will be looking to level the score at the next opportunity!

If good food, good service and good value is your thing, we recommend you try The Fountain (01562-883286) – you’ll be blown away by the Pan Fried Scallops wrapped in Parma Ham followed by Rum Truffle Torte. My mouth is watering just thinking about it!
