Job hunting? Here’s our Top Tips

Whether you’re returning to work, exploring a new direction, or simply ready for a fresh challenge, job hunting can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to do it alone.

At Supertemps, we’re here to make your job hunt easier, faster, and more successful — and we’ve pulled together some top tips to help you stand out and secure the role you want.


1. Update Your CV (and keep It clear)

Your CV is your first impression, so make it count. Keep it tidy, up to date, and relevant to the roles you’re applying for. Focus on achievements, not just duties — and tailor it where you can.

Top Tip: Not sure where to start? Our friendly team can help you fine-tune your CV, whether you’re applying for temporary work, a permanent job, or something in between.


2. Register with a trusted agency (and check their credentials)

Supertemps works directly with employers to fill roles — often before they’re even advertised. By registering with us, you gain access to opportunities that may not be available elsewhere. We’re also REC members (with a 100% compliance score) and GLAA licenced . You are in safe and competent hands

Top Tip: Once you’re registered, we’ll keep your details securely on file and match you with suitable roles as they come in — and we’ll always check in with you before putting you forward.


3. Be honest about what you’re looking for

Are you looking for temporary work to start immediately? Something part-time? A long-term career move? The more we know about your needs, the better we can match you with the right role.

Top Tip: Don’t be afraid to say what you don’t want either — we’ll never push you into a job that doesn’t feel right for you.


4. Prepare for interviews

Interviews can be nerve-wracking, but preparation is key. Research the company, understand the role, and think about how your experience fits. Remember it’s a two way street – you are assessing the company as a potential fit too. What questions do you have?

Top Tip: We offer guidance and interview coaching to help you feel confident and prepared — and we’ll always give you feedback afterward.


5. Be flexible

Temporary or contract roles can be a great way to gain experience, earn money, and get your foot in the door. Many temp jobs lead to permanent opportunities. Whilst the initial role may not be your ultimate career aim, it may well lead to one that is.

Top Tip: With Supertemps, temporary roles come with flexibility, weekly pay, and full support — and we take care of all the admin, too. Remember – this is a free service for job seekers.


6. Stay in touch

Communication is key! If your circumstances change, or you see a role that interests you, let us know. The more engaged you are with us, the more we can do to help.

Top Tip: We’re a friendly bunch — never hesitate to call, email or pop into the office. We’re here to support you. Your success is ours too.


7. Make use of our local knowledge

As a long established (1980) and local agency, we know the job market inside out. We work with employers across North Wales and beyond — from small businesses to big-name brands and have done for years.

Top Tip: We’re not just about jobs — we’re about people. We genuinely care about finding the right fit for you and for our employer clients. Read here how we’ll work for you.
