Done it. Yep thanks to Katie, and the princely sum agreed my CV has been completely rewritten, tweaked by me and is ready for distribution. I am now in the process of sending it to some of the very few Recruitment Consultants who actually made efforts on my half last year, and to some new ones. I will ditch the time wasters
It’s highly likely that everyone, including your mum, gold fish and that funny looking bloke who stands at the bus stop with his ipod, will have their view on what makes a good CV, its content, arrangement, it’s length and appearance – but how do we judge who’s right? How do I judge whether Katie did a good job? How do I know whether my money was well spent? I have a few answers…
Firstly, I am happy with my CV now, it’s more direct, more targeted, and less chatty. Secondly, and importantly I have CONFIDENCE in it, knowing it better represents me. Thirdly, if the CV gets me interviews and ultimately work, then it will be viewed as successful. Simple really. SO if you’re wondering whether it’s the right time to get your current CV overhauled, consider how many interviews it’s presently bringing you. Ask yourself whether it is working, even while you’re not. So to speak… Here endeth todays lesson.
