An extremely valuable experience. I now have a CV and cover letters which I am confident will make an impact. However, over and above that the process has enabled me to identify the valuable 'transferable skills' that I have picked up along the way which could make me attractive to a wider range of employers than I would previously have considered." Paul Durral, Kent, UK.
So easy, once you showed me how! John Burchel, Cambs, UK
Thank you so much. After a complete lack of interest I had an interview within a week of receiving the new CV - & now have a new job & career path. Thanks again. Stephen Meltip, Glos, UK>
I was just a little cynical about all this, but it worked! I had sent numerous CVs with no response at all, now I have had several telephone calls in just a couple of days. Terrance Stevens, Manchester, UK
So much for the “professional” advice I paid for before – that did not work but this did! Thanks again. Vanessa Downs, Canterbury, UK.
Thanks for the super service; I am already getting ‘phone calls. Thomas Etherngton, Penn. USA.
Wow! Even I would give myself a job! I did not realise how good I was! John Beale, NY, USA
What a difference, thank you so much. Malcolm Royce, Belfast, Ir.
Thanks again, it really did make a difference. I have already received a couple of phone calls and feel much more confident about the future. Marsha Hartington, Newcastle, UK.
Further to our telephone conversation I really must write and thank you for all your help. I was becoming more than a little discouraged at the total lack of response or interest – now the ‘phone has started to ring again. Thanks, once more. Anthony Wilde, Watford, UK.
CV and resume Preparation
CV(curriculum vitae) or Resume Preparation is neither easy nor quick!
It is essential that you take the time, and make the effort, to ensure that your CV adequately reflects your experience and capability. If this is your first attempt to produce a quality CV, then be prepared to devote several days in its preparation. The CV is your sales leaflet; make it the best you can!
The CV is your sales tool – do not sell yourself short! We have seen, time and time again, highly competent individuals who undersell themselves and thus fail to impress sufficiently – your CV is no place for understatement. It is essential that you fully illustrate both your potential and your achievements, particularly with regard to the position being sought.
In you own specific combination of skills, experience, aptitudes, interests, enthusiasm and energy you have something very special to offer. It is common for individuals to disqualify themselves for what they do not have rather than proclaim and celebrate themselves for their unique qualities.
Concentrate on what you do have, rather than dwell on any gaps in education, experience or character; almost all negatives have a positive reflection – find it! Self-analysis is difficult, one of the hardest things you will ever do, but also one of the most rewarding tasks you will undertake in a lifetime of endeavour.
