Recritment Consultant Application

[samie_boo]

I have a job application which i need to post tomorrow morning, ahhh! Its for a recruitment consultant - i have never worked in recruitment - i have worked in about 3 diff financial services!! I'd love to work in recruitment - there's a section on the form which says - 'Please use the space provided to say why yopu want the position and what skills/ experience you havwe that would contribute to this role?' WHAT ON EARTH DO I PUT TO IMPRESS THEM!!!

PLEASE HELP QUICKLY!!!!!!

I briefly worked in recruitment and the job seemed to fall into three areas. (1) Interviewing people who want to go on your books so good communication skills and an ability to make quick judgements about a person's suitability is important (both in terms of their qualifications and personality/appearance). (2) Matching jobseekers to jobs which means you need to be meticulous and efficient (it literally involved trawling through CVs etc which is very dull). (3) Promoting your agencies to employers so being smart and confident is important.

Hope that helps!
