Did you know that, on average, the person assessing your CV will spend no more than 20 or 30 seconds scanning it?  And this was the case even in our previous booming economy when good employees were hard to find.  Right now employers are being inundated with CVs even when there is no vacancy advertised.

It is, therefore, extremely important that your CV stands out from the crowd.  It needs to provide the reader with a reason to interview you or at least to read to the end of your CV.  It needs to sell you properly.  This means setting out your experience in a way that highlights your key strengths and achievements and which draws easy links between an employer's requirements and your competencies.

Did you know that employers recruiting for any type job want to find people who are a 'safe bet'; people who have a proven and impressive track record and/or with evidence of appropriate capabilities, style, attitude and potential.

Employers don't like taking risks.

Interviewers and recruitment decision-makers want to get the best person for the vacancy, but they also want to protect their personal reputation by avoiding making recruitment mistakes, which means minimising risk.

CV's are the key to success

Your CV is the equivalent of your marketing brochure. A well prepared CV should give prospective employers a good idea of the value that your services could potentially add to their organisation.

If the CV does this successfully, the prospective employer,  will want to take a closer look at the service provider which means that they will want to talk to you, and so you will be invited to an interview. This leads us to a very important point that should be borne in mind as you prepare your CV:

The primary objective of the CV is to win you an interview, i.e. the opportunity of selling your services in a face to face meeting with the customer. 

Here are some questions you may ask yourself before starting to write your CV

• What should I include (and what should I leave out)?

• How do I decide where to put various pieces of information?

• How much detail should I go into?

• How long should my CV be?

Well you don't have to worry about those questions. I can answer all those questions and with your help and my expertise you will have the perfectly-typed and professionally laid-out CV.

Basics of Writing a CV

A CV presents your unique combination of qualifications, experience, skills and interests to an employer. It is updated regularly to reflect what you have to offer.

Put yourself in the shoes of the employer. If you were advertising a job and received 50 CV's, which ones would appeal to you?

1. Would it be the five-page CV containing information with little relevance to the job?
2. Would you have the patience to make sense of a messy or badly structured CV?

Consider how refreshing it would be to come across a focused, concise, clear CV when wading through large number of applications

You might feel that you don't have enough information to put on a CV. However, once you make a start you will be surprised by how much you have actually done, and you can add to this as you gain more experience.
