recruitment process
how to give yourself the very best chance of success
They do say that if you fail to plan, you should plan to fail, and it's just as true of a job application as it is of an expedition to the North Pole.
Planning's not complicated, it just takes a bit of time, and the time you invest in it will repay you in the long run.
One of the first steps in the process should be to take a look at the hints and tips we've put together for you here.
what we look for in a potential George Colleague
It's a competitive world so we really need to be on top of our game. This means everyone who works for George should work together to be efficient, be quick to react to an ever-changing world and strive to inspire everyone around them to achieve the impossible.
It sounds like hard work, and it is. It can also be a lot of fun too - with the right attitude.
why George?
Think about why you want to work at George. Maybe you've always been impressed by George clothes and it seems like "your" kind of company. Perhaps you've had a look around our website and discovered our values fit in with yours, or it could just be that you're as ambitious as we are. The more reasons you can give, the more reason we'll have to believe you're really serious about working for us.
a little passion goes a long way
Guess who comes across the best in interviews? The person who is quite interested in the role, or the one who will be fulfilling a lifelong passion by being successful? So consider what kinds of roles you're passionate about - and apply for the role which will give you the best chance to perform.
show and tell
The best way we have of judging whether you'll be good at the job you're applying for is by getting examples of how you've managed to do things in the past. The more relevant they are to what we'll be expecting from you at George, the better. So think about how you've worked in a fast-paced environment in the past and delivered great service that has been above and beyond the call of duty.
know yourself
Everyone has particular skills, and nobody's perfect. In your interview we'll be trying to find out what you believe your particular skills are so come prepared to let us know. It's a good idea to be able to tell us about any opportunities you think you may have to make yourself even better in your role.
honesty's always the best policy
It's always better for everyone if you are open and honest about yourself and express your personality. We'll all get the most from your interview if you do - and you're more likely to stand out as a candidate.
but most of all - enjoy!
All interviews are demanding but that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it. Remember, we want you to do well in your interview just as much as you do. So relax, and get ready to take this opportunity to really show us what you can do.
