- [DON’T LEAVE INFORMATION OFF YOUR CV!](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/dont-leave-information-off-your-cv/): 3 things happen when a company or recruiter reviews your CV and there is information missing:
- [How do you choose a recruiter?](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/how-do-you-choose-a-recruiter/): At the end of my first week Carnegie Consulting, one of my colleagues asked me what I thought their USPs were. Since answering his question, I’ve cast my mind back and remember sitting in a training course many years ago at the start of my Recruitment career and being told by the trainer that essentially, all Recruitment companies do the same thing, and it’s really hard to set yourself apart from your competitors. 
- [Improve your ‘Recruiter Experience’](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/improve-your-recruiter-experience/): Improve your “Recruiter Experience”. Whether you’re Generation X, Y or Z, get yourself noticed and learn how to get more of an “A” grade outcome.
- [Social Media – a great tool if you get your presence RIGHT](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/social-media-a-great-tool-if-you-get-your-presence-right/): Spring clean from time to time:
- [WRITING A GREAT FINANCE CV…..](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/writing-a-great-finance-cv/): We’ll consider a few points….
- [Large firm vs Boutique](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/large-firm-vs-boutique/): I recently moved from a large firm to a boutique and the difference has been massive!
- [Pendulum swinging back to the candidate side?](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/pendulum-swinging-back-to-the-candidate-side/): It’s been over 10 years since Northern Rock and Lehman Brothers announced the financial crisis on the world stage in bright flashing lights.
- [It’s that time of year again…](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/its-that-time-of-year-again/): The days are getting lighter and the weather is beyond erratic. That can only mean one thing… It’s March and another financial year is drawing to a close. An opportune time then to reflect on the year that was.
- [Human Resources and Private Equity](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/human-resources-and-private-equity/): Private Equity, I would argue, is the best place to be within Financial Services. This applies to HR as much as it does to other areas. It is the industry that Investment Bankers want to get into but there’s only room for the select few.
- [Lessons in Recruitment from an Intern (Part 2)](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/lessons-in-recruitment-from-an-intern-part-2/): Anyway, let’s go back to my face to face interview at Carnegie. Needless to say I couldn’t afford to mess up my interview. I was feeling stressed for a good two weeks. I felt slightly vulnerable too, but as soon as I met Guy and the rest of the team, my apprehension disappeared and I remembered it was only having polite conversation with friendly strangers about my life story and what brought me to them, how I could best help them and how they could best help me. I got to learn about the firm’s market, its history and most importantly that it was having its best year on record (by the way, we just closed the year at over a million!).
- [Lessons in Recruitment from an Intern (Part 1)](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/lessons-in-recruitment-from-an-intern-part-1/): I got hired in Carnegie Consulting through what came to be a happy mistake. A good friend of mine suggested to look up people on LI who had done recruitment internships and to call these companies upfront. One person (whom I will probably never find again) had done an internship in a company called Carnegie in London so I decided to call up the first recruitment firm called Carnegie.
- [Private Equity Accounting Roles – More Than Meets the Eye](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/private-equity-accounting-roles-more-than-meets-the-eye/): So you’ve spent 3 years working your butts off to get through a demanding ACA course whilst also working very hard in your external audit role. You’re working with Investment Management clients, likely working with some Private Equity/Venture Capital firms. You’ve just had your ACA membership certificate through the post, which means that you’re now a fully qualified accountant. You’re ready for that next step in your Finance career, where the world is your oyster and you can choose do any job you desire except, it seems………be an Accountant!
- [Guy Steel quoted in the Financial Times](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/guy-steel-quoted-in-the-financial-times/): Carnegie Consulting's Managing Director, Guy Steel, has been quoted in an article from the Financial Times, written by Owen Walker on May 12th 2018 and titled "Compliance staff enjoy pay boom as demand for expertise rockets".
- [Standing out from the Crowd in an Interview](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/standing-out-from-the-crowd-in-an-interview/): In recruitment terms it is increasingly hard to differentiate yourself as a candidate in today’s recruitment market. When you are interviewing for a job you can make a safe bet that you will be up against 3 or 4 other candidates who have also spent much time and effort refining their CV and interview technique. When employers make decisions on who to hire sometimes it can be the small margins that make a difference. So when a 50/50 decision is in the balance how can you make sure that the call falls in your favour?
- [New Financial Year, New Website, Same Values](https://carnegieconsulting.co.uk/new-financial-year-new-website-same-values/): With the excitement of our record year over, we thankfully had something else to be buoyed about besides knuckling down for a new financial year. Our very fancy new website and branding overhaul. The increased functionality had an immediate impact on the way we are able to interact with clients and candidates and the site provides much improved clarity over what it is that we actually do.
