Help with finding a job!
Your C.V.First impressions count of course and the first impression many potential employers have of you is through your C.V. so you want to get it right. Take your time putting your C.V. together. The saying is that you only get one chance to make a first impression so why not look at our C.V. preparation tips on the Activ Crewe website listed below.
Interview tips
To maximise your chance of success at a job interview, take a look at the top 10 techniques that will help you to get that job the Activ Crewe website listed below.
Internet searching
As the internet continues to grow it is used more and more as a source of information. There are Job boards, Recruitment and Employment agencies ð€“ listed below - and various other methods of finding a job via the internet.
You can of course use your favourite search engine such as Google, Yahoo etc and enter a search term like "Crewe Jobs" to see what jobs are being advertised.
When performing a search for jobs in the Crewe area we suggest using more than one search term for maximum results. For example, you might want to use;
crewe jobs
jobs crewe
jobs in crewe
job in crewe
crewe job
job crewe
recruitment crewe
crewe recruitment
These search terms look very similar of course but good old human nature means that different advertisers will use different search terms when they place their adverts. This means a particular search term you enter may not find certain advertisements. To maximise your chance of finding your ideal job, using different search terms is well worth doing.

What else can you do?
You can also take proactive action more into your own hands. You might be looking for work in a shop or bar for example and be quite prepared to walk into them and ask if there are any jobs going. You could also put together a standard covering letter, together with your C.V., duplicate them hundreds of times, place them in an envelope and mark each envelope with "F.A.O. Personnel Department" or "HR Dept." or something similar and then walk around local business parks (details below), posting through each businesses letterbox. You might prefer to let the postman do the work of course, dependent upon your budget and whether or not you have the inclination to write the name and address of each business on each envelope.
You may want to be more business specific and select which businesses to send/post your C.V. to. This will mean doing much more research of course but will reduce your costs because you will not be sending out so many copies of your C.V. As a starting point, there are full details of 5 local business parks; Weston Gate, Crewe Business Park, Radway Green, Marshfield Bank Employment Park and Crewe Gates Industrial Estate on the Activ Crewe website.
You could of course simply find your perfect job at www.activcrewe.com/jobs/.
