Tell us about yourself:  There’s nothing more panic-inducing than the moment in an interview when the person in front of you says - “So, tell us a bit about yourself”.  Your mind goes blank and all you can think about is the fact that you can’t think. Or is that just me?

Not to worry, if you are looking for an easier way to find your next job, follow these steps and you’ll be on your way to discussing MORE important things - like whether your new desk has a view!

Create your Fusion profile in these 3 easy steps (It’s a 10 minute investment in your future.)

1. Add a photo

It’s always smart to go with a neat headshot, but don’t be boring, you want people to talk to you!

That doesn’t mean you have to be an Instagram model to catch someone’s eye: FACT: research published in a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, found average, typical faces to be the most trustworthy – It’s science people!  Just keep it professional and friendly.

2. Skills Assessments

At the end of the day, employers are looking for people who can actually do the job.

One of the main things that sets Career Fusion a part from other job matching platforms, is our 3-Dimensional Recruitment™.  That means you get matched on actual skills test results, not just a key word search.   Fusion allows you to take any skills tests from our suite tests, and add them to your profile for free.

Question: What’s better than free?

Answer: Literally, nothing. (Other than free money).

Skills tests you can take to show your stuff include:

• Data Entry
• Typing
• Numeracy
• Microsoft suite skills
• Personality Profile
• Software Development and Programming

3. Intro Bio

Ok, so you won’t believe me but writing about yourself is easy if you follow these easy steps.

• Who are you talking to and why? Easy, you’re talking to employers because you want them to hire you. “Hi I’m Shane and I’m looking for copywriting opportunities in Auckland.
•  Talk about how you can add value to their business. I’m hardworking, passionate and dedicated.  Plus, you can see by the skills testing on my profile, I’m good at what I do”.
• Don’t write in 3rd person (This means talking about yourself like you’re someone else, i.e. “Shane is a dedicated professional”). I recommend sticking to talking about yourself as you.

Now you’re done! I told you it was super quick and easy.

Once you’ve completed your profile, you’ll be seen by employers who are searching the Fusion database. If someone is interested in learning more about you, or organizing a face to face interview, you will be notified.
