CVs
The recruiter will read on average 30 – 60 CVs for one job. So you need to make it easy on them by ensuring you make it clear you’re worth interviewing.
Remember. The CV is only a document which gets you the interview. It’s at interview you get the job. The CV is a paper gateway at which the employer decides you're worth an interview.
The CV, in a sense, is a sales document selling you to the employer. Therefore know what the job entails. Break it down in to its key competencies and then ensure the first page of your CV references these key competencies.
State your reasons for leaving each of your jobs in a section beneath each particular job, and ensure the reason is positive. If it wasn’t, put a spin on it.
Your CV shouldn’t be more than 2 pages. Resist putting your whole life history down, or all those impressive courses and educational achievements. Remember you should be referencing only the information which is relevant to the job you’re applying for.
You might be fascinating, but remember the recruiter cares whether you can do the job, not what your personal interest are – keep the personal hobbies and preferences to a minimum
