We all know some family members or friends that had a perfectly good job and skill but because of the global economic downturn they have been the unlucky ones to be made redundant. This may have happened a week or even 6 months ago. We at Sonru are also aware that many of you that have been made redundant have gone on to find new employment. Judging by the positive feedback we have received, Video Interview Preparation has given our clients the edge to beat their rivals to the job.

While you are waiting for the call (which you will get sooner rather the later) it is important to remain very active. Employers do not like to see a gaping hole in your CV where you’ve done nothing but send CVs.

So here goes Tip#2: While your looking for work make sure to fill that gap! Here’s a couple of ways in which you can do this:

Firstly if you can explain that you spent your gap period improving yourself as a means to progress further in your next job the employer is bound to be impressed. So enroll yourself in some courses sign up for some exams, these can only boost your chances of getting a job and will also fill that gap.

Another great way to fill that gap is voluntary work. This is a great way to challenge yourself and to build your professional network as well as being an excellent means of demonstrating your skills and competencies to a prospective employer.

You could start a small part time business just a couple of hours a week or as many as you like. This can be related to a hobby or something you’ve always wanted to try out.
