Interview Tips

Be confident in your abilities
Be prepared – even if you bring notes for yourself, call up prior and find out what questions are going to be asked of you

What stands out to you in a Resume?

Not necessarily qualifications, as you can be studying or undertaking a traineeship
A big thing that stands out to us is when people are jumping from different things to different things. For example, random unrelated training qualifications. We tend to steer clear of people like that as we are looking for job seekers who are passionate about working in our industry and not just trying everything and anything

Thanks Amber!
