Hello,
This is a post for people who have had to interview prospective employees at some time. (I know most people on here are locums but at some point you might have had responsibility!
)
I'm writing an article for pharmacy students/pre-regs on how to prepare a CV/application form. I'd like to find out what interviewers are looking for, so if you could answer some of these questions I'd be grateful.
1. When receiving a CV/cover letter/application what would make you put it in the bin straight away? (e.g. messy handwriting, lack of experience, lack of attention to detail etc.)
2. Are there certain aspects of the CV which make you warm to a candidate straight away, even if lacking significant experience?
3. Does degree grade matter to you?
4. Can you spot a lie in a CV?
5. Do you check up on 0, 1 or 2 references?
6. Interests/hobbies section - does it have any influence? Or just an easy conversation topic?
Thanks.
