Emerald Insight Limited Considers The Impact as Northern Ireland's Unemployment Rates Sore

Aug. 25, 2011 - PRLog -- Although unemployment rates are reportedly fall across the rest of the UK, the rates in Northern Ireland have risen by over 6% on this time last year. Emerald Insight Limited’s Dave Smullen gives job seekers some advice on how to stand out before, during and after an interview.

Statistics, released by the Department for Employment and Learning, show that over half of those currently claiming unemployment benefits in Northern Ireland have been doing so for over a year. Emerald Insight Limited consider these stats to highlight how difficult it is to get a job in the current climate.

Employment in Northern Ireland had risen steadily since 1998, when the Good Friday Agreement promoted peace and boosted the country’s economy, but the recent recession has seen a rapid decrease in employment. David Smullen, Managing Director of Emerald Insight Limited, explains how to make the most of the few positions available to people at the minute.

“The best advice I can offer is to really think about your CV. Every advertised position receives hundreds of replies at the minute. It is up to you to ensure that your CV stands out.”

Emerald Insight Limited’s Dave speaks more on impressing at the interview stage of the process.

“A professional CV leads to an Interview, and once this has been offered to you, you should

•   Be prepared- Do your research

Who are the Company? What Do They Do?

•   Plan your questions.

Have questions prepared for the interview. All interviewers will ask if you have any questions. Try not to ask about salary at this stage of the interview.  Use your research to ask more about the company or about the opportunities you will have with the company. Salary can be discussed at a later date, for example a second interview.

•   Allow plenty of time

Allow enough time to get to the Interview and don’t be in a rush anywhere afterwards.
When you are in the meeting, the interviewer will rate you on everything. For you to “shine” at Emerald Insight Limited, and I am sure with every company, it is absolutely vital for you to:

•   Look Professional
•   Use positive, attentive body language
•   Think Before you answer the questions
•   Show your personality ”
