Career Advice


Everyone wants to be happy at work, nobody has ever said when asked at our interview “I want a 3hr journey to a horrible office full of nasty people please”.

So, think before you embark on your next move of the criteria that are important to you.  Balance your wants so that they are realistic and be aware that if you make the field too narrow you will cut yourself off from many opportunities.

Approach an established agency with experienced consultants who can give you honest and good advice.   Reputable consultants will have checked on and visited their clients to enable them to know:

  • Where you will have a good personality fit
  • That you will be safe and paid on time
  • That it is a good company to join

Discuss with your chosen consultant your hopes for the future, abilities and strengths.  Together, make a plan of action which may include training and commit 100% to reach your goal.

Preparation is crucial to a successful interview.  At Secretaries Plus we give a lot of help and support including a pre-interview rehearsal - a great form of checking your preparation and it will boost your confidence for the real thing.  We will email you a job description, the company’s website, what to expect of the interview (eg tests) and details of who you will be meeting.  Advice on competency based interviews is also available to you.
