One tip to make you stand out to the recruiters – prepare to ask meaningful questions about the companies and the roles you’re interested in. By asking relevant questions, you will demonstrate your dedication and enthusiasm to the recruiters.
Furthermore, if you have any questions or uncertainties that cannot be answered through research, do not be afraid to ask the recruiters. When listening to the industry professionals’ experiences and insights, you will gain many valuable information.
When I was a newbie to Careers Festival, I was fortunate to receive guidance from a staff member at one of the most renowned advertising firms right at the place. She not only outlined the number of interview stages, the potential questions, and what the employer wanted to see, but also walked me through creating a portfolio that would distinguish me from other candidates. That was also the first time I learned about something called a "portfolio".
Therefore, asking questions will help you gain a deeper understanding not only of the company and its culture but also of the role you are applying for. This will prepare you for the next steps, such as submitting your CV and attending interviews.
