Careers and Jobs

We have posted quite a few CV and Interview articles on this site about CV writing, CV Templates, CV Format, CV Layout and Interview Preparation. What I have decided to do is pull the more popular articles onto one post to save you some time.

CV Service – CV Format & CV Layout – Golden Opportunity

I cannot emphasis enough the importance of a CV when job hunting. Get it wrong and you will miss out on important interviews. Most jobseekers have below standard CV’s and do not understand the basics of CV design. This is an opportunity for you. Get your CV right and you will increase the number of interview invites. Get your CV right and you will have employer’s eager with anticipation to meet you.

Best of luck with your job hunting.

You have all heard of the saying “you get what you pay for”. This is true when dealing with the topic of CV and CV writing. Some of the most popular keywords searched on Google are CV & FREE. We all want the best jobs and best salaries yet we are obviously not prepared to invest in our CV. Would you go to a butcher for a hernia operation? With free CV advice you have to ask yourself two questions.

(1) How much value is the free information?

From experience you will get the basic information – standard script. Is it worthwhile or any value? Well, it will help you write a CV with basic information on format, layout and content BUT the CV won’t make an impact and sell you in a tight market. I can tell you from experience most CV’s I review are sub-standard. The problem is that many jobseekers have been getting away with poor quality CV’s because of skill shortages in most sectors. As things tighten in these markets these poor CV’s will be found out.

(2) Why am I getting these free CV tips and advice?

Free is a tool to attract you to the site to sell something else. I had the experience recently where I took the option of availing of a free book from a popular life coach. Basically I was hounded for about 3 months after trying to sell me other books and seminars.

If you want a professional CV there are many CV service providers in the market including Measurability. Like anything else in life shop around, get references, samples of work before you make a decision.

Happy CV writing!!
