We've put together a list of our most frequently asked questions about job interviews. From what clothes to wear to an interview, to how to handle difficult questions, we can help you. Business coach and author Richard Maun believes that interviewers make up 90% of their mind about a candidate in the first 90 seconds of an interview.
Temporary jobs are short, fixed term assignments that enable businesses to respond to changes in the job market, or to cover peaks and troughs in workload, and allow the candidate to gain more experience without committing to a permanent position. The South West offers great temporary roles and we can help both employer and candidate make the most out of the temporary sector.
CVs and interviews are fundamental parts of the recruitment and candidate sourcing process, and a good first step for identifying potential candidates for your vacant role. However, sometimes it's important to get beyond the on-paper experience and prepared answers. That way you can really understand a candidate, test their practical skills, and evaluate whether they're the right fit for your culture.

I found Cathedral Appointments to be very efficient and professional. Jo Howell was very supportive and was able to help me in securing a new role with my first interview. After 33 years with the same company Jo was able to guide me through the process in order for a successful outcome. Thankyou

The guys at Cathedral Appointments have really got something special within them to do right by candidates that they come across.
Joanne Howell, not only is a superstar character but has determination to ensure the right role is for the right candidate.
I moved from London to Devon without knowing what I'd be doing next until Jo got in touch and the rest is history. I start my new role in early Feb and the constant communication and feedback from Jo has made it so easy for me to get into my new role!

Jo called me with a new and exciting opportunity that she knew I would be a fit for. She was of course right and I am now sat in the perfect job. Jo was there throughout the interview process with advice and guidance and always at the end of the phone for me. I can't thank her enough.

Dani has been absolutely amazing, helping me land a new job.
She has been so easy to chat with and instantly calmed any nerves I had about leaving my current stable job for a new venture.
Her communication has been excellent and she is forever chasing me, keeping me up to date as soon as she has any information.
All in all it has been a really pleasant process and I couldn’t have got here without Dani and her obvious passion for her job.
Thank you so much 😊

I originally used Cathedral Appointments several years ago following a disastrous experience of another recruitment agency. I spoke with Sophia Damshenas and she was brilliant from the start. She put me at ease and made me feel like I was being listened to. Unlike other agencies, she did not push any vacancy on to me, she took onboard what I was looking for plus my experience and was able to place me within a national law firm.
When I decided to move on from there, Sophia was the first person I contacted and she managed to help me land a role at a local prestigious firm and I have never been happier

Cathedral Appointments has recently helped me to secure a new legal role. Sophia was very professional, friendly and understood the types of roles that I was interested in, and which matched my skills. Sophia made sure that I was prepared for the interview especially as it was my first interview over zoom. Sophia was very friendly and understanding and kept me informed at all stages. I would highly recommend others to use them.

Really pleased with my experience using Cathedral Appointments. Sophia was regularly in touch with me and provided positive updates throughout the application process - great as I was especially nervous having not done a successful interview for a little while! She was really personable and helped with all queries I raised, even working around my routine and scheduling in call time around lunch hours, all whilst still being responsive via email when needed. When I did get a job offer, she was so pleased to pass on the good news that she even took time out of her weekend to send on the feedback
