During your chat with our consultants, they may offer you tips or advice on how best to improve your resume. In the meantime, you can read our blog, on how to best present your resume here.

The length of time it takes to find a new job can vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as your experience, the industry you are in, the location of the job, and the job market conditions.

If you are looking for a permanent role, on average, it takes about one to three months to find a new job, although this can be shorter or longer depending on your specific situation. Some people may find a job within a few weeks, while others may take several months or longer.

There are steps you can take to expedite your job search and increase your chances of finding a new job more quickly. These include:

1. Tailoring your resume and cover letter to each job application
2. Being proactive and applying to as many relevant job openings as possible

It is also important to be patient and persistent in your job search. Finding a new job can be a challenging process, but with determination and a proactive approach, you will eventually find the right opportunity for you.

• By presenting yourself honestly. Tell the recruiter your exact skill set, what you’re looking for and what makes you feel fulfilled in a role.
• Be proactive in responding to any communication.
• Be reliable by showing up to any interviews the consultant has organised for you, failure to do so may have consequences on you finding a role through MAYDAY. 

There are a few key differences to consider when deciding whether to use a recruitment agency or apply directly to companies yourself:

1. Time: Applying to jobs directly can be time-consuming, as you will need to search for opportunities, tailor your resume and cover letter for each application, and possibly attend multiple rounds of interviews. Working with a recruitment agency can save you time, as they can do much of the legwork for you and match you with relevant job opportunities.
2. Expertise: Recruitment agencies have expertise in matching candidates with job opportunities and can offer career advice and coaching. If you are unsure of what types of roles or industries may be a good fit for you, working with a recruitment agency can be a helpful resource.
3. Access to job opportunities: Recruitment agencies often have access to job opportunities that are not advertised publicly. They may also have relationships with companies that can lead to exclusive job openings.

Ultimately, whether you choose to work with a recruitment agency or apply directly to companies will depend on your individual circumstances and job search goals. It can be helpful to consider your time constraints, job search expertise, and the types of opportunities you are seeking.
