Persuasion can be learned and researchers who study it have uncovered a set of rules for improving your powers of persuasion and moving people in your direction.&amp;quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The employment guru added that to persuade, applicants need to admit weaknesses and try to find common ground with interviewers in order to win them over.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Being able to present impressive references from previous employers or clients will help jobseekers get that dream role, according to the Guardian's employment guru Jeremy Bullmore.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/career_tools.php" target="_self"&gt;CV hints&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/career_tools.php" target="_self"&gt;interview advice &lt;/a&gt;together with one of the largest information portals available to UK sales jobseekers visit &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk" target="_self"&gt;www.aaronwallis.co.uk &lt;/a&gt;Aaron Wallis is a leading UK based marketing and &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk" target="_self"&gt;sales recruitment&lt;/a&gt; agency.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Posted by John Oak&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="ADNFCR-1617-ID-19816743-ADNFCR" src="http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1617&amp;itemid=19816743" /&gt;</description><pubDate>03 June 2010 15:39:26</pubDate></item><item><title>Self marketing is vital for employment success</title><link>http://www.b2bsalesjobs.co.uk/news-19814063-Self-marketing-is-vital-for-employment-success.aspx</link><description>Experienced professionals looking for &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/" target="_self"&gt;sales jobs&lt;/a&gt; need to ensure that they market themselves in the right way so they are as employable as possible, according to an expert.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Guardian's employment guru Jeremy Bullmore told one reader, who found that his experience was stopping him getting job offers, to ensure he made himself attractive to potential employees by getting as many impressive references as possible.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;quot;Make sure you've obtained as many glowing references from them as you can; they should more than compensate for the absence on your CV of any permanent role in a well-known company,&amp;quot; he advised.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The expert also told the reader to hone in on his specific skills when writing a covering letter, which could be a good idea for people looking to get into &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/" target="_self"&gt;sales jobs&lt;/a&gt; in a certain sector, like medicine or engineering.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;When workers do find their perfect &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/" target="_self"&gt;sales jobs&lt;/a&gt; they will not have to wait long until a pay rise, according to Duncan Brown, director of HR business development at the Institute for Employment Studies, who said that pay freezes are starting to be relaxed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;For &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/career_tools.php" target="_self"&gt;CV hints&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/career_tools.php" target="_self"&gt;interview advice &lt;/a&gt;together with one of the largest information portals available to UK sales jobseekers visit &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk" target="_self"&gt;www.aaronwallis.co.uk &lt;/a&gt;Aaron Wallis is a leading UK based marketing and &lt;a href="http://www.aaronwallis.co.uk" target="_self"&gt;sales recruitment&lt;/a&gt; agency.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Posted by John Oak&lt;br/&gt;&lt;img alt="ADNFCR-1617-ID-19814063-ADNFCR" src="http://feeds.directnews.co.uk/feedtrack/justcopyright.gif?feedid=1617&amp;itemid=19814063" /&gt;</description><pubDate>02 June 2010 15:36:37</pubDate></item><item><title>Forthright approach 'could be the way to get into sales jobs'</title><link>http://www.b2bsalesjobs.co.uk/news-19625969-Forthright-approach--could-be-the-way-to-get-into-sales-jobs-.aspx</link><description>People looking for sales recruitment success should tear up the CV and walk into the managing director's office asking for a job, according to an author.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Chris Pires, writer of Shred Your CV and Find a Job Fast, told the Independent that the book is based on his own personal story of meeting people who were struggling to find employment.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&amp;quot;I got tired of bumping into people who said, 'I went to university for four years and I can't find a job.
