Tip - How to sell yourself if you're a shy job hunter

At targetjobs.co.uk, we’re always advising you to sell yourself effectively in your application forms and interviews for graduate jobs, but this can feel uncomfortable and unnatural if you’re naturally self-effacing.

But by doing so they’re not giving recruiters a reason to give them a job.
