COOL CV TIPS 1 |
||||||
| Does everyone else’s CV seem more professional
and better worded than yours? Maybe they pay someone to write
their CV from scratch, from a Professional CV Writer. But, hang
on. We don’t want that, the whole concept of Get Me a Cool Job
is, to read the entire site and write up your own CV from scratch
with information available. 1. Be neat and error free. Catch all typo’s and grammar errors. Make sure to have someone proofread your CV, preferably someone attentive to details. Even the smallest error could land your CV in the electronic recycle bin. 2. State specific objectives. Form a solid, clear objective that will help you carry a focused message throughout the CV. The objective summarises your skills and emphasises your strengths. 3. Why does the employer need you? Focus on highlighting accomplishments that will arouse the interest of employers who read CVs asking themselves: “What can this candidate do for me?” Remember that the goal is to get the interview.
4. Make a good first impression. On average, employers spend less than 30 seconds scanning each CV. Most employers are more concerned about career achievements than education. Place the most interesting and compelling facts about yourself at the beginning, such as a list of accomplishments in order of relevance. 5. Emphasise your skills. Use a skill-based CV format that is organised around the main talents you have to offer. Prioritise everything. |
