Confidence 'is vital' when job hunting

People on the hunt for a new job need to have confidence in their ability to succeed, one specialist has advised.

The importance of confidence can not be overstated as far as looking for, and landing, a new role is concerned, said Charles Logan, director at Hays.

He noted that prospective employers will be able to sense when sales recruitment candidates are not confident and this will dampen their chances of getting the job considerably, so a confident aura is vital.

The expert elaborated: "Not only does it help candidates believe that they are capable of getting another role, but it will help them to demonstrate to a potential employer that they are able to add value."

He said that it is not surprising that older candidates are sometimes reluctant to look for a new job, but they should still take time to see which roles are available, no matter what their age or situation.

A spokesperson for Jobsite recently said that sales recruitment candidates and other applicants on the hunt for new roles can find it to be a daunting experience, but there is plenty of help on hand in the form of recruitment agencies.
