Thiago Silva and Tammy Abraham score 8, Timo Werner 6; Declan Rice 7: Chelsea v West Ham player ratings

Blues secure a 3-0 win over their London rivals to move up to fifth in the Premier League standings

Chelsea returned to winning ways on Monday night with a 3-0 win over London rivals West Ham United to move up to fifth in the Premier League table.

Entering the match at Stamford Bridge following consecutive losses to Everton and Wolves, and facing a West Ham team in good form, Chelsea broke the deadlock in the 10th minute when Thiago Silva headed home a Mason Mount corner.

Chelsea had their chances to extend the lead, with Timo Werner missing a couple of great attempts, but the German striker's profligacy was not punished as Tammy Abraham scored twice in the second half to secure all three points for the Blues.

10 tips for entry-level job seekers
  • Have an up-to-date, professional LinkedIn profile. If you don’t have a LinkedIn account, set one up today. Avoid poor-quality profile pictures with distracting backgrounds. Include a professional summary and begin to grow your network.
  • Keep track of the job trends in your sector through the news. Apply for job alerts at your dream organisations and the types of jobs you want – LinkedIn uses AI to share similar relevant jobs based on your selections.
  • Double check that you’ve highlighted relevant skills on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
  • For most entry-level jobs, your resume will first be filtered by an applicant tracking system for keywords. Look closely at the description of the job you are applying for and mirror the language as much as possible (while being honest and accurate about your skills and experience).
  • Keep your CV professional and in a simple format – make sure you tailor your cover letter and application to the company and role.
  • Go online and look for details on job specifications for your target position. Make a list of skills required and set yourself some learning goals to tick off all the necessary skills one by one.
  • Don’t be afraid to reach outside your immediate friends and family to other acquaintances and let them know you are looking for new opportunities.
  • Make sure you’ve set your LinkedIn profile to signal that you are “open to opportunities”. Also be sure to use LinkedIn to search for people who are still actively hiring by searching for those that have the headline “I’m hiring” or “We’re hiring” in their profile.
  • Prepare for online interviews using mock interview tools. Even before landing interviews, it can be useful to start practising.
  • Be professional and patient. Always be professional with whoever you are interacting with throughout your search process, this will be remembered. You need to be patient, dedicated and not give up on your search. Candidates need to make sure they are following up appropriately for roles they have applied.
