Crafting your career

When you’re looking for a new job, you’re looking for someone to be your eyes and ears on the ground while you carry on focussing on your current role. You want to know that someone has your best interests at heart, and is committed to helping you secure that perfect new position.

At AQUAretail we will always meet with you, talk over your experience, advise you on what’s going on “out there” and give you an honest opinion as to what sort of business would suit you best – and the salary you should be commanding. We can get your CV looking slick, help you polish your interview techniques and be an enthusiastic cheerleader when it’s time to interview for your dream job.

For us it’s not just a formulaic process that ends when you start in your new position. It’s about being a trusted confidante and maintaining that relationship throughout your career. You’re in it for the long haul, and so are we.
