1. The Overachiever

You’re the student who always had your hand up first - and the job seeker who never misses a deadline. Your CV is polished, your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date, and you’re always prepping for interviews weeks in advance. You thrive on planning and love ticking off boxes. Your biggest challenge? Not burning out!

Job search tip: Remember to pace yourself and celebrate small wins along the way.

 

2. The Crammer

Procrastination is your middle name - but when the deadline looms, you’re unstoppable. You dive deep into research, craft a quick but effective CV, and pull off great interviews even with last-minute prep. You work best under pressure but could benefit from starting earlier.

Job search tip: Try setting mini-deadlines to avoid the last-minute scramble.

 

3. The Class Clown 

You bring energy and personality to every application and interview. Your networking skills are top-notch because people remember your humour and authenticity. Sometimes, you might not take things seriously enough, but your positive attitude often wins the day.

Job search tip: Balance your fun side with clear examples of your skills and achievements.

 

4. The Quiet Prefect

You’re the dependable one - methodical, thorough, and always reliable. Your job search is steady and consistent. You prefer sending tailored applications over mass-applying and enjoy researching companies in-depth before reaching out.

Job search tip: Don’t hesitate to showcase your strengths boldly; confidence is key!

 

5. The Social Butterfly

Networking events, job fairs, LinkedIn groups - you’re everywhere. You love connecting with people and hearing insider info. While you’re great at building relationships, you might sometimes spread yourself too thin.

Job search tip: Focus on quality connections and follow up consistently.
