CV Write

Professional, high impact CV writing that generates interviews.

Reasons for Leaving

We often see CVs where people have put down their reasons for leaving against each of their jobs.

This is generally unnecessary and can be counter-productive.

During an interview one of the main conversation points is going to be the reasons behind your career moves and if it’s all written down then you’ll have nothing to discuss!

If you’ve been made redundant from your last 2/3/4 roles, then writing this down may actually prevent you getting an interview in the first place.

Remember, a CV is designed to get you an interview so you must avoid giving the reader any reason for not seeing you.

Spelling Mistakes

Latest 3 CV spelling mistakes are errors that just don’t get picked up by spell checkers:

Roll instead of Role

Manger instead of Manager

Collage instead of College

If you do nothing else with your CV – get someone else to proof read it.

 

48 Hour Service

We always aim to produce your new CV within 48 hours of receipt of payment.

If we are particularly busy then this may be longer, but we will always advise you of this prior to making payment.

Templates

There are many CV templates and free examples available that look good, but you need a combination of both style and substance for a really professional Curriculum Vitae.

A template is good for getting the look and layout of a CV correct but that’s about as far as it goes.

An employer or recruiter needs to be able to quickly read a CV and ascertain if you’re worth interviewing. Whilst a template will help you along the road it doesn’t help with writing compelling content that really gets you onto the interview list.

If we write your new CV then you will have a document that really sells you and  gets you the interview.

Contact Details

Such a “comedy basic” – but make sure you have all your contact details on your CV.

We see so many that are missing either a mobile number or an email address. You must have both on a CV or you are just making the recruiters job harder, and if you do that – guess what? That’s right, they contact someone else.

Make sure you have the following on the top of your CV:

  • Full postal address
  • Mobile phone number
  • E-mail address

Be Positive!

Employers look for positive language in a CV.

Sounds obvious but the number of CVs we see that use weak language is incredible.

What do we mean by “Positive Language”?

Perhaps the most common example is when applicants say in their profile “I consider myself to be a hard working person” or “I can consider myself to be a reliable employee”.

This is weak language for a CV.

It’s much better to say “I am a hard working person” or “I am a reliable employee”.

It’s the same thing but so much stronger and positive in the way you portray yourself.
