In 2024, the Charity of the Year for www.GlosJobs.co.uk and www.glos.info, is Sunflowers Suicide Support, a Gloucestershire charity that provides support for people bereaved or affected by suicide. We will be organising a series of fun and challenging events throughout the year to support and raise funds for Sunflowers.   On Friday, we delivered a very big cheque for £11,208.78 to Sunflowers Suicide Support, the GlosJobs.co.uk and glos.info Charity of the Year for 2024. We have had amazing support for the swim and quiz that we ran recently and it is a privilege to help such a fabulous Gloucestershire charity. We are now running a raffle with some really great prizes and you can buy tickets online at www.glos.info/raffle. Prizes include £100 cash from GlosJobs.co.uk, two weekend tickets for Wychwood Festival 2025, two vouchers for day spa at Hatherley Manor Hotel, Cheltenham Racecourse tickets, Soul Circus wellbeing festival tickets and many, many more!    The first event was #SwimForSunflowers - A Group Swim in the Pool the Distance of The Channel and Back for Sunflowers Suicide Support Charity. A group of regular swimmers at the Cheltenham Ladies' College pool have a 2-hour slot on Sunday 17th March 2024, to see if we can collectively swim the distance of The English Channel to France and back in the pool. It is a total distance of 67.6km = 2,704 lengths! We think we can do it!! Everything you donate will be doubled through the generous support of Pete and Lucy Eggleston through a match funding agreement with their Eggleston Charitable Foundation. So please give generously...   Other events will include: #QuizForSunflowers - Wednesday 17th April 2024 at Cheltenham Bowling Club, Suffolk Square #RaffleForSunflowers - Let us know on office@glos.info if you would like to donate a prize in exchange for lots of publicity on www.glos.info. #TrekForSunflowers - GlosJobs and glos.info director, Belinda Wilson (above), will be spending several days trekking and camping in the jungle in Cambodia, finishing in the ancient temples of Angkor Wat, to raise funds for Sunflowers. If you have any other thoughts, ideas or suggestions as to how we can spread the word and help the charity, please do contact Belinda on office@glos.info.   Sunflowers Suicide Support is founded by people who know the pain and trauma of losing a loved one to suicide. They aim to offer support to others who are bereaved or affected by suicide. More details about the charity here.

Job Title - Make the job title one that people will actually search for and is SEO friendly. Do not make it too unique to your company. Also let it reflect the level of experience you are looking for.    Location - Always include the location and whether the candidate will be required to work in other offices.    Salary - If you know the salary include it or use a range. In the long run it will save you time on inappropriate candidates. This may not increase the number of applicants but you'll save time by excluding applicants that want more than you can pay.    Introduction - Your job ad has one aim and that is to sell! Your very first paragraph needs to reveal key information about who you are and who you are looking for.    About the Company - Include a link to your website so candidates can do their own research. Include information about your business and what you do. Include any awards your company has won and how you reward your staff such as through training and other perks.    The Role - This should list the most important tasks and key responsibilities that the successful candidate will have to complete. Include a job description if it is not too long as you can always provide one to candidates later in the application process.     The Person - Include a section of essential and desired skills which list some skills that your candidate will need to fulfil the role, depending on the seniority and technicalities of the position. The Age Discrimination Act, 2006 states that it is illegal to discriminate against anyone based on their age so don't be tempted to include a certain amount of years experience required from a candidate as this can be seen as age discrimination.   How you would like the applicant to apply - Send a CV? Include a cover letter? Fill in an application form? Visit your website and apply online? Also include any dates such as closing dates and interview dates.   Proofread your work - Check your adverts for spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. If you received an application from a candidate with these errors you would not be too impressed!   Measure the response - If you are not getting the response you want or the candidates you are looking for contact the team at www.GlosJobs.co.uk and we will do our best to help.

Here are a few tips on job seeking from www.GlosJobs.co.uk that we have learnt over the years we have been running the website. We hope you find them useful.   You and your skills What are your skills, values, strengths, qualifications and experiences? Match them to the roles that you are going to apply for. What do you really want to do? Think laterally and be proactive. What have you been doing that shows you have transferrable skills? You might not have been in paid work, but maybe you have been helping run the playgroup or volunteering.   Be organised How many hours a week are you going to spend looking for work? Set a routine and stick to it. Where do you keep the information about your applications? Set up a spreadsheet with details including companies, job roles, dates of application, contacts, closing dates, interview dates etc. What information is in your CV? Make sure you are using key phrases in your CV and personal statement. Often recruiters are using digital sifts in the first instance. Highlight how your achievements will be of benefit to the recruiter. How about keeping copies of adverts? Use the "Email yourself a copy of this job" link that appears on every advert to keep a copy of the advert in your inbox. Here at GlosJobs.co.uk, we often get asked to send copies of adverts to people who have been asked for an interview but not kept a copy of the advert. Filling in application forms? Keep a working document that has all the details you will need when filling in application forms and drafts of comment question, so you can copy and paste instead of writing the information each time. Do you keep copies of applications? Take a screenshot each page of an application form as you fill it in, so you have a record of what you have written. When you use the Apply Now function on GlosJobs.co.uk, you are emailed a copy of your application, so you can keep that for future reference. Do you follow up? Make a call to the recruiter to check they have your application. They will check and you will stand out. If an advert has a closing date, then ring before the closing date. Please contact the recruiter who will be able to check your application for you, rather than contacting GlosJobs.co.uk. Do you warn your referees? Drop them a line to let them know to expect a reference request. They can be better prepared if they know which company they are expecting to hear from.   The details are important Can you do the job for which you are applying? Yes!? Tell the recruiter you can then and highlight your competencies. How important is the covering email or relevant part of the form? It is a crucial part of your application! Applicants tend to spend hours preparing CVs, but just put one line in the covering email. The covering email is an essential opportunity to tell the recruiter how your qualifications and skills match to those that they are looking for. Be clear and concise and tell them that you can do the job. The recruiter wants nothing more than to find the right person and if you tell them you are, it will really help! Do you proofread and spell check your application? Ask someone else to check it over, or use the Grammarly plugin, which automatically checks spelling and grammar. What is your email address? Check the details you are inputting in the application forms. The team at GlosJobs.co.uk often get notified of applications with incorrect email addresses typed in. You might be using .com instead of .co.uk or vice versa. In what format do you send your CV? Save your CV as a pdf. Then the recruiter will see it exactly the same as you can. If you use .doc or .rtf files, then the formatting might go awry on their systems. How do you name your CV files? Use a sensible file name, like Fred Bloggs CV rather than CV or CV Final, which do not identify it as your CV.   Focus Are you using the scattergun approach? Focus on sending a small number of relevant applications that are good quality rather than sending more lower quality applications. Do you target each application? Either have more than one copy of your CV to target different roles for which you are applying, or personalise your CV for each application.  What sort of research do you do? Make sure the company is somewhere you would like to work. Often the advert says as much about the company culture and organisation as it does the role. Always research before you go for an interview and arrive armed with some questions.   Who can help? Who is in your network? Let your friends, family and contacts know you are looking for work or a new job and what sort of role. Are there any events coming up? Sign up for the GlosJobs.co.uk Monday newsletter as lots of Gloucestershire job fairs and careers events are featured. Is there any free help available? Yes! the National Careers Service help with job hunting, CVs, cover letters and more.  What about training? It is well worth contacting training providers such as Gloucestershire College, who have a host of training and courses available to enhance your skills as well as helping you to look for work. And recruitment agencies? Look on GlosJobs for agencies that have the sort of roles you are interested in, but maybe not the exact role you are after, register with them to make sure you get put forward for roles as soon as they come in.   How to get the most out of GlosJobs.co.uk From www.GlosJobs.co.uk, you can receive the latest jobs to your email inbox at 5.30pm every day. Sign up for the Daily Job Alert.
