The eagle eyed amongst you may have noticed that over the last couple of weeks Swindale Parks Recruitment have been making some changes to our website. Inspired by the feedback we gathered earlier in the year, mark II of our 3rd generation site is now up and running. Some of the changes made are so subtle that you may not have noticed, but all have been implemented with one thing in mind to ensure we offer sales, marketing & creative candidates and all of our clients a first class recruitment experience. Have we succeeded? We hope so, if you don’t agree please let us know we’re all for a bit of constructive criticism!
A big thank you must also go to all at Clever Cherry who have masterminded the changes, implemented them seamlessly and of course their patience!

Covering Letter.............
Swindale Parks' Top Tips to help you secure your next Sales or Marketing & Creative job...........
First impressions count
Your covering letter has captured the imagination, your CV has aroused their interest now all you have to do is back up all that you have promised at interview - unfortunately all of your hard work could be undone in a matter of seconds! It is a commonly held belief that the opinions we form about people are done so within a minute of meeting them, so this is a vital time in the interview and could determine whether you sink or swim.
So, first and foremost make sure you look and feel the part. Pride in your personal appearance will only have a positive effect on your confidence levels. Think about your introduction, and prepare to deliver it with confidence and with a smile – “hello………, it’s a pleasure meeting you” – is a safe bet. Plan to arrive 10 minutes early, having to start an interview with “I’m so sorry for being late”, is to be avoided at all costs. Of course if you are running late through no fault of your own then let your interviewer know.
Making a positive “first impression” is essential and will set the scene for a positive interview experience BUT alone it won’t secure you the role…….we’ll come on to that
