Career and résumé advice is
given along with hints and
tips on how to perform well
at interview. Sometimes first
interviews can take place by
phone or using video confer-
encing facilities, again good
advice is offered on how to
maximise the chances of
getting the job of your
dreams.
In short we are able to give
you advice on how to find the
right job in the industry,
teach you how to write a
good CV and covering letter.
We give advice on Assess-
ment centres, tests, how to
deal with difficult interview
questions, provide interview
tips and how to research
companies and how to re-
sign from your current em-
ployer if appropriate.
All this is free to candidates,
the only thing we ask is that
you demonstrate an interest
in the wine and spirit industry
or you have a proven track
record in it. We are a spe-
cialist recruiter so we cannot
help if you are looking for a
career outside of this sector.
