Lesson One
The fundamental point of a CV is to advertise your potential, experience and available skills set to match the applied vacancy. The difficulty is deciding on what to include and what to leave out as this often is the only chance you have to present your suitability to the recruiters.
As your CV will often be one in a hundred that is sent in for a vacancy, you will want it to stand out and be noticed.
An effective CV will not get you the job but will aim to get you the interview you need to motivate yourself in person for the job you want!
People get bored with a busy and extensive document, the more reading that is required the quicker they lose interest. Here are a few tips on how to slim down your CV.
Add some colour and a thought-out structure to your document. Each segment needs to be well placed and well presented.
When detailing your previous jobs, keep it short and concise focusing on the specialty of your role.
Don’t be afraid to change up your CV for every application. This allows you to present you information in a way that you know will be well received by the hiring company.
Add a section that emphasizes the skills that you command and are an expert at. These are the characteristics you feel you tend to adopt in a role.
Your CV is not an interview, so don’t feel like you need to overindulge in the content you put in. If the company or recruiters want any further information they will ask.
Add some colour and flavour – Your CV needs to match your personality, if you are a bold and bright individual then your CV should reflect that. As long as it is kept professional and truthful then you will get the picture across of the type of character you are.
