It’s important to remember that your CV is actually your brochure to the employing world. However too often people pop their CV together while watching TV the night before they apply for a job they’re really excited about.
What many candidates forget is that your CV dictates the success of your career journey and how much you earn for the rest of your life. Therefore in some respects, this document is more important than your passport!
There is a saying in recruitment that perception equals reality. The perception an employer is given via a person’s CV becomes their reality. Therefore, if this document is poorly formatted, has missing information, is full of spelling and grammatical errors and doesn’t highlight you was a solution to the employer’s problem, you’re letting yourself down.
Remember to honour your experience by developing a CV that highlights your true value to the reader.
