Is there anyone out there who could take a look at my CV please.
I seem to be getting nowhere fast, if I could just get an interview, then if I muck that up it’s all my fault. I’ve been applying for a while now with not one interview, I just need to know if I’m shooting myself with the CV. Any help would be greatly apreciated.
If you dont mind spending a bit of money? Then take a look at http://www.craigcareerconsulting.net
They have a CV review & CV re-draught service, it could be a very good investment?
Good luck with your career!
Another top tip is to avoid using CV writing services or templates you can easily purchase. HR personnel receive hundreds of CVs at a time, they can see these type of CVs straight away. By all means use them for ideas but ultimately tweak them and make them unique and yours. They have to stand out from the usual run of the mill CV……
One very important thing that I did was to allow myself to go to two pages. I had always been told only to do one page of A4. That might be OK if you’ve just left school and are trying to get your first job, but trying to fit fifteen years of experience onto one sheet just don’t work. Go for the second sheet if your in this situation; I ended up filling both sheets.
I went for the Fugro job and was one of the 186 that didn’t get as far as the interview. Looking back at my old CV I’m not supprised. As I said the new CV must be better as the first to see it has given me a job. I start in about 4/5 weeks depending on how long it takes to get a US visa.
