We’ll work in partnership with you to find the right role, providing guidance and support at every stage of the recruitment process, from creating a CV that stands out to navigating your resignation when you’re ready to take the next step.

Whether you’re applying for your first graduate role or taking the next step in your career, making a strong first impression is key to securing the right opportunity. Your CV is often the first point of contact with a recruiter, so it should be clear, concise, relevant, and up to date. Its purpose is to provide enough insight to encourage an interview, where you then have the opportunity to build on the highlights of your CV, demonstrate your experience in more detail, and show why you’re the right fit for the role.

With years of experience placing skilled professionals into a wide range of IT roles, we understand the many paths a career in technology can take. Every new role represents progress—whether that’s moving up, shifting direction, or developing new expertise, and we’re here to support you at each stage.

If you’re unsure of your next move, we can help you tailor your CV to highlight the skills and experience that align with your career goals. We’ll also guide you through the benefits of both permanent and contract roles, helping you understand how each can support your progression, build new skills, and strengthen your future opportunities.

Most professionals now use social or business networking platforms such as LinkedIn, X (Twitter), YouTube, and GitHub, making them valuable spaces to showcase your skills, experience, and professional interests. Platforms like GitHub are particularly useful for demonstrating technical ability through real projects, code contributions, and collaboration.

These platforms can offer a more current and practical view of your expertise and career progression, which is why it’s important to ensure your online presence is up to date, professional, and accurate, with clear information and well-presented content.

Deciding to resign can be a significant step, and navigating the process isn’t always straightforward. At Spectrum IT, we can support you with practical, impartial resignation advice, helping you feel confident at every stage, from confirming your decision to managing notice periods and handling potential counter offers.

Our consultants are here to talk through your options, provide guidance on best practice, and help you leave your current role on positive terms. By offering experienced, objective support, we ensure you’re well prepared to move forward with clarity and confidence into the next stage of your career.
