Whether you are a recent graduate, experienced professional or entrepreneur. A CV is your first chance to make an impact on a potential employer. That is why a well-written CV will enhance your chances of landing an interview and prevent it ending up in the reject pile.

Your CV is your personal branding statement and you should use it to your advantage. Just like an entrepreneur has an elevator pitch that they use at networking events, you can use your CV to sell your skills to a potential employer.

A modern CV has a different focus than a few years ago because it is no longer just a list of your education and work experiences. You have to uncover your “employability” and show how you will help an organisation achieve its business goals. That is why it is important to take the time and effort to explore your career up to this point and structure your CV to highlight your knowledge, skills, and abilities. Your CV needs to be tailored specifically to the job you are applying for and this might mean you will need more than one! It should be concise and informative, preferably not longer than 2 pages and it should reflect your personal attributes and values as an employee.

With proper career profiling, you can get your CV through the system* and on the hiring managers’ desk. *It needs to be able to get through ATS (applicant tracking systems). This will greatly increase your chances of getting an actual interview.

A professional CV writing service can assist you in compiling a CV that is worthy of your skills, talents, and qualifications, and get you one step closer to your dream job.

I believe that if a person can see their experience in a new light and see the value they can bring to a business – they will feel empowered and more hopeful to make a difference.
