Are You Actually a Fit for That Job? A Recruiter's Perspective

About this event

You see a job advertisement. You meet most of the requirements. You submit your application. And then — silence. Here's a question worth asking: Are you genuinely a strong match for that position, or does the job description simply look familiar? Recruiters don't evaluate candidates based on job titles and keywords alone. They look for evidence of fit, relevant achievements, experience and alignment with what the employer actually needs. In this practical and interactive session, we'll explore: • How recruiters interpret job descriptions and shortlist candidates • The difference between meeting requirements and demonstrating strong fit • How to identify your strengths, gaps and transferable experience • When to pursue an opportunity — and when to reconsider your approach We'll work through practical examples and discuss how to evaluate opportunities more strategically. Who should attend? Professionals applying for specific jobs, career switchers and anyone wondering why they aren't being shortlisted despite meeting the stated requirements. Before joining: Bring along a job description for a role you're genuinely interested in. The goal is simple: Apply with greater clarity, not just greater frequency.
