Paragon Recruitment’s Post

When Friday hits, it's a good opportunity to look back on the week's achievements and plan your week ahead. Officially, we are at the end of week 2 for Carlton Young. We've registered a significant number of applicants and contacted numerous businesses. It has certainly been a busy month! One thing I have noticed is that applicants appear to be struggling to sell themselves on their CVs and are applying for multiple roles that don't seem suited to them. Also, one of the biggest frustrations I am hearing is that applicants are not receiving any acknowledgment for their applications. Are these common frustrations for you? Are you looking for some help and advice? If you'd like advice on improving your approach to job hunting, drop us a message and we will see what we can do. #recruiting #accountancyjobs #financejobs #careeradvice #findingwork #carltonyoung

Navigating the job hunting process can be incredibly stressful, but it's also a journey full of growth and new opportunities. Each day brings new lessons and possibilities that I hadn't considered before. Despite attending very few interviews, I've been fortunate enough to turn each one into a job offer. I'm grateful for these opportunities but however, the dilemma remains— does this role align with my interests? Will I enjoy it? Will I excel in it? These questions are always on my mind. Through this process, I've learned the importance of self-reflection and understanding what truly drives me. It's not just about landing a job; it's about finding the right fit where I can grow and thrive. This journey has also boosted my confidence, reinforcing my belief in my abilities and my path. Networking has been another eye-opener. Connecting with professionals, seeking advice, and learning from their experiences has broadened my perspective and opened doors I didn't know existed. I firmly believe that "everything happens for good." With dedication and hard work, I trust that God has a perfect plan in store for me. This mindset keeps me motivated and positive, knowing that the best is yet to come. How has your job hunting experience been?

#Reflections on #JobRejections and #HonestSelfAppraisal I've recently faced a curious paradox in the dynamic and often unpredictable world of job hunting. On the one hand, there have been positions I wasn't sure I wanted, yet I still felt a sting when the rejection came. On the other hand, there have been roles in companies with cultures I admired deeply, but lacked a certain skill – a gap I openly acknowledged due to my commitment to honesty. Each rejection brought its lessons. The most intriguing part? Discussing these experiences with friends and former colleagues has led to some eye-opening moments. They pointed out skills and achievements I had overlooked or undervalued in myself – tasks I had undertaken and excelled in, but never boasted about. This journey has been more than just a quest for a new role; it's been a learning curve in recognising my value and potential. It's a reminder that sometimes, we are our own harshest critics, and the perspective of those who know us well can be incredibly enlightening. As I continue this path, I remain committed to finding that perfect fit – a role where I can contribute, grow, and be part of a culture that resonates with my values and aspirations. To those on a similar journey, remember that honesty, self-awareness, and a bit of external perspective can make all the difference. Here's to embracing the ups and downs of job hunting and the exciting opportunities that await just around the corner! #JobSearch #CareerJourney #HonestyInBusiness #SelfGrowth #LearningFromRejection
