Employer opinions differ on CV writing, and although there is no definitive guide to preparing a CV, there are common principles which we can share with you. These guidelines are based upon our experience of dealing with our client contacts and their expectations.
Create a winning CV
A strong CV is critical to your success as it determines whether or not you will be invited for an interview. It’s an introduction to your capabilities and a window to your achievements and experience.
It’s essential, therefore, that you adopt a style that reflects you and is relevant to the role for which you are applying.
Potential employers often prefer to see your CV in its original style and format as it reflects your communication skills and personality.
Therefore, when submitting your CV to a prospective employer, we make a point of keeping the content and general layout unchanged.
We simply transfer it into a logo bearing document and then convert it to a pdf file.
If you're short of ideas but want to get started, you can always use our CV template - please contact us for a copy.
