A winning CV
We regret that we cannot give extensive advice on various markets, but will try to advise you if your CV is poor. There are many websites with good advice (ignore the advice about a one page CV if you have been working for more than five years!).
Fundamentally, imagine you are selling yourself to a Martian. She is not psychic, so she does not know anything about Bloggs and Company, where it is, what they do, what markets they are in, whether growing fast or retrenching; or what your job was as a left-handed-widget designer, so look at your CV and ask yourself - Will this tell a potential employer:
- What my job existed to do;
- How it fitted in the organisation;
- What I actually accomplished;
- What skills and experience/ competencies I have to offer;
- How my career has progressed;
- How to reach me (post, email, phone, mobile etc);
- What I want now? (especially if changing direction, location);
- Useful info -languages, whether I will relocate, have I a driving licence etc;
- "Will this person be an asset to my business?" "Can s/he handle (or initiate) change?" "Is s/he reliable?" Etc.
