As a jobseeker, it is always important to show your credibility with respect to the job you are looking for. In order to be reassured and confident<\/a> they are hiring the right person, employers need proof that you are the best candidate. A powerful referral can do just that.<\/p>\n This proof can come in many forms. The most common form is often a list of the previous jobs or experience you have. Typically, this is known as a CV<\/a>.<\/p>\n At ClockWork, we\u2019ve recognized there are leaner, better ways of jobseekers showcasing their credibility and capability to employers. This article will take you through the various forms of how we like to do this, as well as explaining why a great referral is your passport to finding work<\/a>.<\/p>\n Below is an example of a profile on ClockWork. You can see there is a range of numbers which might at first appear confusing, however they are just as telling as a lengthy CV.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Here are just some of the variables we factor in when considering a jobseeker\u2019s credibility:<\/p>\n All these factors contribute to your likelihood of finding work through the ClockWork platform. However, as we mentioned at the start of the article, a powerful referral is ALWAYS important.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve attended school or a tertiary education institution, you can ask your teacher for a good referral.

Therefore its always important to impress your employer, because you never know when you will need them in the future.<\/p>\n Once again, when you\u2019ve completed work for them, ask them to write you a short review of your attitude and work ethic. This could make all the difference when applying to your next job.<\/p>\n Remember to store these referrals in a safe place like within a word document on your or a friend\u2019s computer.<\/p>\nWhat Enhances Your Credibility?<\/h3>\n
