- You are extremely well-organised with an eye for detail.

- Exceptional written English skills.

- Impeccable grammar and literacy.

- You never miss a deadline.

- You are comfortable working alone on projects and like to move ahead, use your initiative to get things done without someone checking on you every step of the way, and you like finding new ways do things quicker and smarter.

- You are not afraid to ask for help when you don’t understand something or need more help or time.

- Must be able to write compelling and engaging statements about clients work experience

- Must be able to research various career options and interpret clients aspirations and target roles so as to position them as the ideal candidate for the jobs they seek.
