What to look for in a Recruitment Site

By: MarkeD | Posted: 30th June 2009

There's the identity that we create, and there's the identity that just... well happens to be. My issue is that I'm just about done with selling heritage. We work on projects linked to tourism, culture and heritage sites. We sell the stuff to the travel, cultural and heritage agencies that they need to get people to buy their holidays, theatre tickets, and entrance fees to some of the most intriguing and spectacular sites in the world. Ok. I'm not exactly done with selling heritage, but I'm in sales, and basically just want a new sales job.

Something that I can take a good 5 years experience of re-branding, re-packaging and re-everything-ing, and get that passion re-ignited again.

It's finding the link, and establishing whether the link is something someone would pay me to do, and whether that someone would think I could it, and whether I could do it, or at least convince them I could. I'm considering applying for a new sales job online. It might just be... easier.

So I steal a few minutes between work and home, and using a WIFI connection at my local cafe, have a search around for some Sales Jobs web sites. There are plenty enough. It's a case of using my judgement to home in on the ones likely to perform. Or at least do the job properly.

I suppose you always have to judge a recruitment site by what it looks like. Well how else do you judge it? The functionality of course, but first impressions count for a lot, and customers can then appreciate the ease of use and functionality on the basis of that. Hopefully. Because there's no point it just looking good and not actually working properly.

The great thing about uploading your CV is that you can sit back and wait. Or rather sit back and continue in your job. There's a feeling that you are in control. Though I guess that's because you have a job already. In tourism and cultural sales. Selling heritage to the public sector. That's it. I guess I can sell to the public sector rather than direct to the public. Although really what I sell to the public sector is then going straight to the public.

It's incredible how simply uploading a CV and entering your skills and experience enables you to get a better idea of what you do and, importantly, what you want to do next.

Going for a new sales job is helped by the fact I can mention how my company created brochures and marketing for some of the world's most popular and lesser-known though none the less remarkable holiday destinations. It adds colour to my biggest sales pitch of the year. Selling my skills and abilities on the back of selling heritage.

I won't be sad to leave this sales field. I'm sceptical about lifestyle consumerism. I'm not saying it's wrong. I just feel I've sold enough of it, and I want to sell something else I can be proud of.
