Planning to Write a CV
The databases of the five main UK generalist job boards contains millions of CVs. Moreover, the responses to adverts placed by recruitment consultancies on job boards can be as high as 70-90 responses. Quite simply, the greater the salary, the larger the response so it is vital that your CV stands out from the masses. So, how do you demonstrate that you do have the right qualities and experience for the role? You may be interested in our job board found here.
The following is a true story!
When I first started in the staffing business I decided to read some books that would enable me to help my candidate base. In the local bookshop was a book that was six centimetres thick on how to write the perfect CV! Goodness knows why anyone would read it, let alone have the focus to read it and put their advice into practice! The point I am making is this – you will read 100 different articles on the subject and get 100 different answers as CVs are subjective – what one person likes another hates. You can follow some basic tips though, which we've compiled in 'How to Write a CV for a Job Board'.
There are some basic rules which should be followed, however, to keep you safe when job searching and hopefully land you your dream job. Adhere to the advice given in the following pages, and you will not give anyone any reasons to filter you out on the basis of your CV.
