Use Word for your CV
For job seekers out there currently in the market, please remember to use only a Word.doc version of your CV to send to Recruitment Agencies.
Word is the most commonly used format and can be edited, changed and read easily.
Client Companies also do not like CV’s to be submitted in any other format than Word.
Other formats eg JPeg or PDF do not look as well, do not copy or edit as well and can take up alot of time to translate back in to Word.
If it’s not in Word format, your CV will not get the full attention it should as it will go down the priority list over someone else’s who’s CV is in Word and is good to go.
If you are looking for a job - only send your CV in a Word.doc format so it will get immediate attention and be more appealing to a Client Company

Meet the criteria before applying for a job
It is always worth reading the essential requirements for a job before applying.
All too often, CV’s are being sent to us by people totally unsuitable for the jobs they are applying for.
There are a number of reasons for this -
- Careless
- Rushed
- Poor attention to detail
- Desperate
This creates a bad impression from the outset which is not what you want to give the Recruiter who will be helping you to find your next job.
It also wastes alot of valuable time when a Recruiter gets hit with 20 unsuitable and careless CV submissions before he/she can get to the ones that are suitable.
This may also be the reason why job seekers can feel they are being ignored or not responded to as even the most fantastic Recruiter in the world - all of whom work for JBM!, will eventually lose patience with what are commonly knows as the ‘time wasters’
Applying for a job is a process which requires care, attention and time - never fall in to the trap of just sending your CV out to a multitude of jobs and sites as this will be spotted very quickly as it starts turning up at the same place more than once and will instantly give a bad impression of you
Please always ensure you meet the criteria on the job advert before applying and if you dont - dont apply

Dont let Ebenezer Lenihan Ruin your Christmas
Twas a few days before the budget, and all around the house, Nothing stirred, not even a mouse….
What festive cuts can we expect this year and what will it all mean for you and I? Christmas… Bah Humbug!
Assuming that we don’t all get looted while the law is on strike, we can assume that we will all be a bit worse off, but we were expecting that. Life will be a bit more of a struggle and, if we were to believe the general theme of the press, one could be forgiven for thinking that this may well be the last Christmas ever - such are the prevailing prophecies of doom for our little isle.
I for one do not think that that the level of doom and gloom is warranted. I’m fed up of people saying that it’s going to be an awful Christmas. Have people forgotten what it’s all about? Did the Celtic Tiger take away our sense of magic? Santa may well be affected by the budget too and his gifts may be more frugal. Does that make him any less wonderful than I remember him from my own childhood?
In recruitment we have seen an upturn. It is not a huge one, but it is an upturn never the less. Businesses know that if they are not growing and finding new ways to do business better than their competitors, then they are not going to pull through. The point some people seem to be missing is that a large percentage of our businesses have been through recessions before. They have the experience to know what is required to pull through it.
All you nurses, doctors and other medical staff know that you are going to be in demand. Nursing was a popular career choice during the 80’s when nursing offered security above and beyond that of other careers. With the Celtic Tiger came a feeling of entitlement. If the country is so rich, where is the share for the front line workers? But that has changed again. Now there is nothing. Nothing? There is security in a career that will always be in existence, you will always be needed.
It holds true for all medical staff. Science careers are also more assured than most. Ireland is putting considerable resources into maintaining and indeed accelerating R+D investment. Simple economics are at play here (the type that even I have no problem understanding). More exports = More money coming into the country. This is the best way of increasing a countries wealth. So to get more revenue in we need to export. Develop and sell. The multi-nationals have a huge part to play here too. They create jobs and even with the tax breaks available to them, they contribute to this land of ours through taxes.
In the 80’s we lost huge numbers of our skilled workforce abroad. Now, with fewer opportunities in far away lands, we have a wealth of people right here. If we can tap into our own resources we may just find that we are in a better position than we were back in the days of bad hair styles and leg warmers.
Enough of the bah humbugs! Let us make merry with what we have and work hard at creating a more affluent new year!

Social Networks sites like Face Book and Twitter continue to grow
Facebook is taking up more space at the docklands as news comes of a further 70 jobs being created in the social networking sites head quarters based in the heart of the Dublin Docklands.
These badley needed new jobs are being created in engineering, sales and finance and are further testament to the growth in social network sites as previously discussed on this blog.
Facebook is based in California and has over 300 million members and over a million members here in Ireland. Those stats alone are seriously worth considering for Irish Medical Recruitment Agencies looking to tap into the current talent pool in Ireland and abroad.
Small wonder that as previously discussed on this blog, social networks are clearly percieved to be the way forward in future recruitment. Indicative of this were the comments of facebook’s CEO, Sheryl Sandberg, who said at the company’s video presentation yesterday, that the company had not really considered anywhere else other than Ireland because of the number of qualified people here in Ireland.
Ireland has seen a considerable increase in numbers of highly qualified medical, science and R&D professionals looking for jobs in the fields of Medicine, Science, Research and Development and the recruitment for these jobs is moving further away from traditional jobs boards to the universally available mediums of social networks such as Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
Heres to a brighter more social future.

Further Investment by Pfizer in R&D at their Cork facility confirms Ireland as being a competitive and attractive site
Ireland still continues to attract Foreign Direct Investment
for foreign direct investment. Over €11 Million is being invested at the Ringaskiddy Process Development Center (PDC) plant.
This facility will be a center for research and development centering on advanced manufacturing and enhanced production techniques which will be utilsed at Pfizer plants globally.

Jobseekers, wake up and smell the coffee. It is about time YOU took control of your CV.
Here are a few tips:
1. When you apply on-line for a job, take the name of the contact person down and follow up with a call.
2. Do NOT allow a Recruitment Agency send in your CV to a company without your full knowledge and full consent.
3. Do NOT apply for the same job twice. If you are not sure if it is the same job as it is worded differently in the ad, ring the agency to find out.
4. Be active NOT pro-active. If you see a job you are interested in, but are not sure if you are suitable, phone the agency to find out. Do not waste time applying for jobs that are not suitable for you.
5. Keep in touch with the agency/agencies that you are dealing with on a regular basis. Do not expect them to call you as they are dealing with dozens of jobseekers a day. By phoning the agency, you are showing that you are vigilant and you are also reminding the agency that you are available
By using the above tips, you are TAKING CONTROL OF YOUR CV.
By doing so, you are making sure that you are being represented in the marketplace in the most professional way.
