CV Forum
Welcome to our CV Forum Page!
Every week we meet online to answer the questions you have about your curriculum vitae. On Thursday lunch-times between 12 and 1pm our team of Career Coaches freely answer those simple and highly complex issues that arise when you are writing your CV. So far we have answered over seven hundred different questions on our CV forum and you can read these here.
If you'd like a copy of our full report: 'Questions About Your CV You Never Dared Ask' - compiled from the CV Forum, just give us a call on 0845 2020244.
Below you'll find extracts from an article that appeared in MBA Business Magazine in a section called: CV Clinic.
Is the CV still the important tool that it was 10 years ago?
Stead: 'No. Not in anyway. If you can pick the people you want towork with and talk to them using their language, you can sell your services. A CV only gets in the way.
People are reluctant to take responsibility for your life. CV equals life. You have to switch from thinking about yourself to thinking about what other people need and how you can gift your services to them.
How can you assess potential froma chronological document. CV's were never easy tools to use. They carry a lot of prejudice: what should be on it, how long should it be... CV's are screened in eight seconds on five to seven competencies.
If you're no0t a match for the role, you'll hit the maybe or the 'No' pile and never get seen again. You need to leave behind traditional methods of finding work - CV and applying to job adverts. Be proactive.
Starting a weblog that focusses on your offering and tells the universe that you're available is more likely to get you bombarded by headhunters.'
