Councillor Marshall welcomes you to our Jobs Fair <strong>2022</strong><br />
Interview Techniques<br />
If you have reached the interview stage of any job vacancy then you<br />
must have already impressed the employer with your application.<br />
But the job could be yours to lose. Below is a useful checklist.<br />
“<strong>Darlington</strong> Borough Council is proud to be hosting this Jobs Fair, full of opportunities for local job<br />
seekers to connect with local employers and offering a chance to progress with a career or find a new<br />
career pathway.<br />
Over 60 exhibitors are taking part including key employers with current vacancies in a range of sectors<br />
including hospitality, Civil Service, transport, health and social care, enterprise, customer services, IT,<br />
retail, professional and business services.<br />
You can drop in and chat to a diverse range of local employers who have vacancies and opportunities.<br />
You can also find out about other opportunities including training, apprenticeships, and self-employed<br />
options.<br />
Amongst the employers in attendance, there will be Aldi, Cummins, <strong>Darlington</strong> Economic Campus<br />
including The Treasury and Department of International Trade, <strong>Darlington</strong> Borough Council, EE, Durham<br />
Police, Royal Navy, NHS and many more. Representatives will be available to provide useful information<br />
on any current and/or upcoming vacancies and helpful advice for applications; a great opportunity to<br />
have a face-to-face discussion with prospective employers, all in one venue and at one time.<br />
Feedback from previous <strong>jobs</strong> <strong>fair</strong>s has been really positive and people who attended have found them<br />
very informative. The <strong>fair</strong> will be in an informal setting and aims to connect key employers with talented<br />
people seeking new work, new skills or a completely new direction in their work journey.<br />
This free event is open to all, and support organisations will also be on hand to offer advice and<br />
guidance on applying and interviewing for job, or starting up a business.”<br />
Councillor Alan Marshall, Cabinet member for Economy, <strong>Darlington</strong> Borough Council<br />
• Preparation is key Research the company by visiting its<br />
website. Get a ‘feel’ for what drives its senior management<br />
– the company aims and ethos – so take note of the ‘About<br />
Us’ section and the boss’s ‘Welcome’.<br />
• Insight Through your research you will also gain a valuable<br />
insight into working conditions and their culture and language,<br />
so you can use their phrases in the interview and sound<br />
knowledgeable.<br />
• Social media Make sure your social media platforms are<br />
‘appropriate’ as they will research you online.<br />
• First impressions are key They could make a decision on you<br />
within the first 15 seconds and the ‘pre-interview chat’ is very<br />
important.<br />
• Smile you are on show! From the second you enter the room<br />
smile and look interested. Offer your hand for a handshake.<br />
Accept any offers of a drink as it will give you time to relax.<br />
Ask them how they are. Respond to their welcoming<br />
questions which will be non-job related.<br />
• Speak They are desperate to learn as much as they can<br />
about you. Do your best to answer the questions, and if you<br />
struggle with any, throw it back to them with a “sorry, can I<br />
just double-check what you mean”, which gives your brain time<br />
to catch up and may result in them rephrasing the question to<br />
make it clearer.<br />
• Hobbies They might ask you what you do in your spare time.<br />
Try to have something interesting to talk about especially if it<br />
is your passion.<br />
• Tell them what you have done Try and steer the conversation<br />
to extra work you have put into studies, any work experience<br />
completed, any charity or voluntary work carried out, any<br />
awards won.<br />
• Dress code Look smart and well-groomed as it indicates you<br />
have made an effort. A smart shirt, or blouse, with smart trousers<br />
or skirt. Make sure your shoes are clean as well! Feedback from<br />
many local business owners is that jeans are not considered for<br />
interview<br />
• What do you think? They might ask your opinion on any<br />
subject. Try to be balanced, offer a view from both sides and<br />
don’t be too radical or extremist.<br />
• Questions, questions Have at least three questions prepared<br />
to ask them at the end of the interview. A good starting point<br />
is “I noticed on your website…so what is…or how does that<br />
work?” because this shows you have done your research.<br />
• Don’t slip up Interviewers know that candidates relax once<br />
the formal interview is over. So stay on your guard until you<br />
have left the building.<br />
• Follow-ups Don’t be afraid to follow up the interview with<br />
a phone call saying how much you enjoyed the experience<br />
and asking when you are likely to hear back.<br />
• Feedback If you don’t get the job, don’t be angry, there could<br />
be other vacancies coming up at the same place in the future.<br />
Do ask for feedback as it will help you with the next interview.

Jobs Search Strategies<br />
The most challenging thing about finding a job is deciding what you<br />
would like to do in the first place.<br />
Work dominates life and fills the lion’s share of the day and week. You<br />
can also expect to be at work for the next three to four decades, so a<br />
bit of self-reflection is well worth the effort.<br />
Think about you, your likes and dislikes, when you perform the best<br />
during the day. So, are you a morning person or come alive at night?<br />
Do you want part-time or full-time work, a job or a career?<br />
Are you good with your hands or better with your mind? Do you want<br />
to work inside or out or hit the road as some sort of driver?<br />
The lucky might be able to combine an interest or passion with a<br />
career while many will be working to live rather than the other way<br />
around.<br />
Decision made, it’s never been easier to find a job to go for because<br />
there is an array of help out there, particularly online with information<br />
and vacancies just a click away. Many of the sites lead you through the<br />
process by asking key questions about you and your skills.<br />

from you as employers are struggling to recruit.<br />
Recruitment is fast moving in hospitality too with cafes, restaurants,<br />
pubs, hotels and the health and fitness sectors always on the lookout<br />
for enthusiastic staff.<br />
Keep an eye out for the many careers <strong>fair</strong>s and <strong>jobs</strong> events that are<br />

start and if it all feels a tad overwhelming the National Careers Service<br />
is always on hand to help you out.<br />

"Learning for Life"
Finding a job on LinkedIn and building your profile<br />
LinkedIn is the digital media platform with real clout whether<br />
you are coming to the end of your student days, looking for <strong>jobs</strong>,<br />
or starting your own business and seeking customers.<br />
The great news is that it is free, easy to set up as the site talks<br />
you through each stage and the template asks for all the relevant<br />
information you will need.<br />
Remember it’s a professional platform not a social one so care<br />
needs to be taken to think about your profile and posts.<br />
You can use it to connect with professionals, many of who<br />
are desperate to recruit, learn more about the work you are<br />
interested in, find and apply for <strong>jobs</strong> and receive advice and<br />
support from experienced professionals.<br />
The mechanics are easy but to sign up for a LinkedIn account<br />
you’ll need a professional sounding email address free from any<br />
inappropriate references. It may be better to create a new email<br />
account that is simple, using only your name.<br />
Once signed up, LinkedIn helps you with the rest guiding you<br />
through creating a profile. The more information included the<br />
better as it will be easier for employers to find.<br />
Your profile photo is important too and must look professional.<br />
It must be just you, set against a plain background, with your<br />
face in the centre of the frame, be a good quality picture, not<br />
blurry and be well lit so your face is visible. Look smart and wellgroomed<br />
and smile.<br />
Complete all sections including a headline, summary, and work<br />
experience, volunteering experience, skills and education history<br />
– then start connecting.<br />
The headline is crucial as it promotes who you are and grabs the<br />
attention of a recruiter, employer, or anyone in your network. It<br />
may be the only information they see.<br />
So in 120 characters try and make sure it says who you are, what<br />
you do and what you want to be. It needs to be enough to get<br />
people to read on or connect with you.<br />
Your summary is your chance to let people know more about<br />
you. It can attract employers who are hiring,<br />
or recruiters who are looking for people on<br />
their behalf, or clients.<br />
It needs to tell your story so be passionate<br />
about what you love. Talk about your goals<br />
and write it in the first person (‘I’ not ‘he’ or<br />
‘she’). Use phrases and keywords that show<br />
you have researched the sector you are<br />
interested in.<br />
End the summary with a call to action, for<br />
instance, if you want employers/potential<br />
clients to contact you, include an email<br />
address.<br />
Words are cheap so any details of work<br />
placements, shadowing or internships and<br />
previous employment are crucial. Highlight<br />
your achievements and show examples of<br />
your work if you have online examples you<br />
can link to. Show the value you have added in<br />
the past.<br />
Any examples of volunteering also helps<br />
professionals build up a good picture of your<br />
values. Employers are looking for people who<br />
will be ‘a good fit’ for their company.<br />
You can add up to 50 skills on your LinkedIn profile but add at<br />
least five if you want to appear in searches. The more skills you<br />
list, the higher up in searches you’ll appear.<br />
If you aren’t sure about the skills to select then look at job<br />
profiles to see what the sector is looking for.<br />
Make it easy for employers to check you have the level of<br />
qualifications they are looking for. They will also want to know<br />
what you have gained from studying and concentrate on the<br />
education most relevant to your career. Include achievements<br />
such as awards, scholarships, presenting at a conference,<br />
successful projects, any positions of responsibility.<br />
Once all the details are input, use LinkedIn to build connections.<br />
The more you have, the more people can find you.<br />
Start with friends, family and people you know from university,<br />
college or school and include endorsements for your skills to<br />
show you can do the things you say you can.<br />
When you meet people in a social setting or at networking<br />
events, offer to connect with them and your network will soon<br />
begin to grow.<br />
Be active to maintain your presence on LinkedIn so you are<br />
noticed by potential employers.<br />
Check it often, like you do social media sites. Like, comment and<br />
share articles and other people’s posts to get noticed by your<br />
connections.<br />
Create your own content to raise your profile and join groups<br />
that are relevant for your chosen sector. Link with school, college<br />
and university alumni groups.<br />
Increase your chances of getting a job sooner by being<br />
#OpenToWork. There are millions of <strong>jobs</strong> on LinkedIn and once<br />
you have looked at a couple, the algorithms of the site start to<br />
send you similar posts, making your task at lot easier. From the<br />
<strong>jobs</strong> you click on, LinkedIn builds up a picture of your needs and<br />
helps you achieve your goals.<br />

Care is<br />
more than<br />
toilet rolls<br />
and bed<br />
baths.<br />
Colleagues from adult social care including Rachael standing at the back on the far right<br />
Meet Rachael, a reablement coordinator<br />
with the reablement team at <strong>Darlington</strong><br />
Borough Council. We asked Rachael to tell<br />
us about her journey into her career and if<br />
care was always something she wanted to<br />
do.<br />
“When I left school, I had no real idea of<br />
‘what I wanted to do when I was an adult!’<br />
I suppose I was more focussed on making<br />
money – this led me to work in retail for six<br />
years until I realised time was ticking and<br />
I’d become the adult I had envisioned, and<br />
I hadn’t progressed in terms of a career.<br />
I stumbled into a job with a care agency,<br />
something I never envisaged myself doing<br />
to be honest. I was desperate to leave retail,<br />
so this was hasty option, but something<br />
I am so glad I did! Within my role as a<br />
carer in the community I was able to learn<br />
so much on the job, the experience was<br />
honestly invaluable, I was also able to<br />
gain qualifications like my level 2 and 3 in<br />
adult health and social care among other<br />
qualifications. The fact I was learning and<br />
earning made such a difference and opened<br />
my eyes to the opportunities in front of me.<br />
“Fast forward a few years and I was still<br />
within the care industry, now working in<br />
residential care – so in a care home. I was<br />
in the home throughout the Covid period,<br />
and I have never experienced anything<br />
like the teamwork, compassion, emotion,<br />
and work family strength like this before.<br />
It was an incredible experience to be part<br />
of. Some residents had no family, as their<br />
carer you become their family, their friend,<br />
their shoulder and that it such a rewarding<br />
part of the role. We would all laugh so much<br />
and of course cry so much, it unlike any<br />
other job. I progressed to a senior care and<br />
support worker before deciding to take on a<br />
“<br />
I wish I could<br />
give my 16-yearold<br />
self a shake<br />
and steer myself<br />
down the path of<br />
adult health and<br />
social care<br />
”<br />
sooner.<br />
new opportunity with the council.”<br />
As a reablement coordinator, my role now is<br />
to assess those that have been in hospital,<br />
for short term support, with the aim of<br />
regaining independence, enabling them<br />
to remain in their own homes and where<br />
possible reducing the need for long term<br />
support. Every day is different for me, from<br />
writing assessments to understand how<br />
someone is coping at home, to planning<br />
support and working with other teams and<br />
agencies to ensure we can achieve the goal<br />
we have set together.”<br />
“It’s strange when I think back to my<br />
younger years and how I just didn’t have a<br />
clue what I wanted to do or where I wanted<br />
to be. My perception of working in care was<br />
so wrong! I honestly thought I’d be helping<br />
people in the toilet, essentially wiping<br />
bums, and giving bed baths, but caring is<br />
so much more than that. I have built some<br />
incredible relationships with those I care<br />
for, for them I may be the only person they<br />
speak to for a couple of days at a time, I am<br />
lifeline for them.<br />
I wish I could give my 16-year-old self a<br />
shake and steer myself off down the path<br />
of adult health and social care sooner, but<br />
then again, I believe my choices have led me<br />
to where I am now, and I am grateful I’ve<br />
had the journey I have. Yes, it hasn’t been<br />
straight forward, but I have got here, and I<br />
could not be happier.”<br />
“I feel I have learnt through experience,<br />
than I would have at college, which I think<br />
proves that it is never too late for a career<br />
change.<br />
My advice to anyone considering moving<br />
into a new career or starting their in care<br />
would be…Go for it! Don’t be afraid! It’s<br />
really not as scary as you think. Care isn’t<br />
for everyone, but I wouldn’t be quick to<br />
assume that it’s not for you. I was one of<br />
those people and I will hold my hands up<br />
that I was wrong and slightly ignorant to<br />
the world of adult health and social care.<br />
There is so much more to it. It is providing<br />
support, it’s kindness, it’s being there to<br />
listen to someone, holding their hand,<br />
helping someone to feel good and look their<br />
best, helping them feel empowered and be<br />
motivated! It’s also providing the essential<br />
support that some may need in the last few<br />
days of their life, making them comfortable<br />
and ensuring they are not alone. A career in<br />
care is so rewarding, something I feel is hard<br />
to match in other role - we really do make a<br />
difference.”<br />

The Importance of a Good CV<br />
Search online and there is plenty of help on how to write a CV but<br />
prospective employers will be able to spot a template. One size doesn’t<br />
fit all and your CV needs to be bespoke to the job you are seeking. It also<br />
has to reflect you to help it stand out from the others a company may<br />
receive.<br />
A CV is a short, written summary of your skills, achievements and<br />
experience relating to a role you want. Employers often ask for a CV, and<br />
if you are sending speculative letters to businesses you’d like to work<br />
for, you’ll need to include one. They may have vacancies that aren’t<br />
advertised and a good CV could get you that all-important interview.<br />
Think about how your skills and experience match what the employer<br />
is looking for. It is vital that you tailor your CV specifically to suit the job<br />
description and the company.<br />
Include all your qualifications with the most recent at the top. Previous<br />
<strong>jobs</strong>, internships and volunteering experience should be listed with<br />
a brief overview of your roles and responsibilities. Include your past<br />
employers’ details and evidence of any training courses and driving<br />
licences. Traditional CVs tend to be chronological, listing work and<br />
education first, and starting with the most recent experience. Skillsbased<br />
CVs focus on your job-related skills and personal qualities while<br />
technical ones, such as professions like IT and engineering, highlight the<br />
skills you have for that industry.<br />
Creative CVs should link to an online portfolio, and could contain video<br />
or infographics, while academic ones can be longer. Must haves include<br />
contact details, such as your name, phone number and email address<br />
(always use a professional sounding email).<br />
You can also provide a link to a professional networking profile, such as<br />
LinkedIn.<br />
There is no longer any need to include age, date of birth, marital status,<br />
or nationality. In your personal profile, think about the job and what the<br />
employer is looking for to make it sound like you are the best person for<br />
the post.<br />
Sum up who you are and what you hope to do. Place it under your name<br />
and contact details.<br />
Depending on where you are in your career, the education history could<br />
come next for college leavers but, if you have been working for some<br />
time, the career details take precedence.<br />
Include the names of your qualifications, school, college or university<br />
and the dates you attended, the number of qualifications secured and<br />
grades if they are impressive.<br />
If you’re applying for your first job, focus on skills you’ve learned through<br />
education, any part-time work, work experience, internships and<br />
placements and volunteering. Hobbies, interests and achievements can<br />
also attract an employer and will provide content to discuss during any<br />
interview.<br />
Work history can include placements, volunteering and any paid <strong>jobs</strong>,<br />
listing these with the most recent first.<br />
List the employer details, job title and the dates you worked there.<br />
Include a brief summary of your roles and responsibilities and highlight<br />
your strengths and skills, using words such as ‘organised, created, built,<br />
managed, planned’, and your achievements giving positive examples.<br />
If there are gaps in employment highlight the positive things you did<br />
during this period.<br />
References aren’t necessary at this stage but you could include that<br />
‘references are available on request’. They will ask for references if you<br />
get through to the next stage so give some thought to the best people to<br />
approach.<br />
Employers do receive many CVs and often have to decide quickly who<br />
will be invited to interview. So your CV needs to stand out by looking tidy<br />
and professional.<br />
The starting point must be researching the job and company and fitting<br />
the CV to it. On a practical note use a clear font such as Arial, Times<br />
New Roman or Calibri, with a minimum size of 11. Use the same style<br />
throughout and avoid gimmicks such as brightly coloured paper. Your<br />
finished CV should be no more than two sides of A4.<br />
Make it simple and quick to read by using headings, bullet points and<br />
spacing, and be clear and to the point.<br />
Always get someone else to read it because you can’t see your own<br />
mistakes and double check your spelling and grammar. Save a backup<br />
copy which you can amend and adapt to future <strong>jobs</strong>.<br />
Always send a polite cover letter with your CV explaining why you are<br />
applying for the post.<br />
