First Day Nerves......

However experienced we are from time to time we all get nervous, particularly when starting a new job. Here are a few tips to beat your ‘newbie’ nerves and to help create the right impression on day one.

1. Plan your journey. Yes you have been there before for interview, but was it during rush hour? Set out early to ensure you arrive feeling calm, collected and ready to face the challenge of a new working environment.

2. Smile! It helps you break down barriers with your new colleagues who may also feel uneasy meeting you for the first time. You will also portray yourself as friendly and approachable.

3. Make an effort to remember people’s names: repeat people’s names when they introduce themselves – this will help you both remember them and form a bond with the new people you are to work with.

4. Show enthusiasm! You know how pleased you were to be offered your ideal sales or marketing job, now it’s up to you to ensure everyone sees you as a great new member of the team and looks forward to working with you.

5. Be nice to everyone: you won’t know who everyone is on your first day so take time to be friendly to all new faces. The “receptionist” may turn out to be your new boss. Equally possible is that the receptionist is best friends with your new boss, and will be asked for feedback on your attitude

We hope these help but remember there is no substitute for over target performance in the long term! You may also be interested in reading our interview Top Tips. Source of article www.onrec.com

Midlands employers who are struggling to find good quality sales, marketing and creative job seekers should look to specialist recruiters for assistance. Well what else would you expect all at Swindale Parks to say! Except we didn't say this, these are the findings of a recent joint survey by the CBI and accountants KPMG. The research, conducted recently discovered that 40% of the Midlands businesses are having problems recruiting the right Sales, Marketing & Creative talent.

As it has been for a number of years a skills shortage remains an Achilles' heel for the region. Even though jobs are being lost and recruiter demand has fallen, Midlands businesses are complaining that whilst they aren’t short of applicants they are struggling to find the right calibre of job seeker to fill their vacancy.

Research aside and whatever the economic outlook at Swindale Parks we firmly believe that as a specialist Sales, Marketing & Creative recruitment agency we can bridge the skills gap and find the right candidates, whilst allowing our clients to do what they are best at focus on their business.If you have a sales, marketing or creative vacancy you would like to brief us on why not give one of the team a call on 0121 585 6079, alternatively you can email us your job description here.
