Demonstrating commercial awareness
How can I demonstrate commercial awareness?
“Commercial awareness is an interest in business and an understanding of the wider environment in which an organisation operates”
Kate Wigglesworth, Regional Recruitment Manager, Enterprise Rent-A-Car
To make a good impression with employers you will need to research the company you are applying to before each stage of the recruitment process.
You will need to demonstrate a knowledge of how businesses operate and the roles you might be asked to perform, whether in commercial enterprises or the public sector.
